If you're looking for a great resort to stay at during your trip to Phuket have a look at this. Phuket Pullman Panwa. I loved it!
th-cam.com/video/380CZcpn8TM/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant video due to 1) keeping it simple, 2) actually starting with points on the island map for orientation and 3) great film work.Thank you for your time and effort😊.
Thank you for your kind comment. Enjoy yourself in Phuket. ;-)
FINALLY! A video with a map!
I don't know Phuket at all, and have no idea what is where. Google Maps didn't help. Well done, sir. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks Tony. I'm glad it was useful.
Thank you for the detailed description of the various beaches. It helps with planning our trip so we know more of what to expect.
Thank you. I am glad it was useful. I hoep you have a great trip.
Your videos last year were such a great help Andrew and I visited phuket a couple of times with no probs. Thank you so much xx
Thank you and you're welcome. Hope you enjoyed your trips. Where did you stay?
Very beautiful footage. Thanks for the great upload.
Thank you for watching. :-)
planning a trip to Phuket is very difficult because there is so much choice & especially if you have not been before. thank you for covering this !
It's a fantastic island with a good amount to see and do. Enjoy your trip. :-)
This was really well put together. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for saying that. :-)
Detailed, clear, informative, no nonsense! Saved me hours of research so thank you, this is excellent.
Thank you. I'm glad it was useful.
Fabulous information Andrew. Greatly appreciate
Thanks Thomas. Hope you're well. ;-)
Great video! I've been to Patong, Karon and Kata, and your explanations of them are all spot on. My favourite was Kata, as it was reasonably laid back unlike Patong, but still plenty of places to go at night. And the two beaches are both amazing! We went during Songkran, and I had one of the best nights out in my life, so much fun!
Thank you. Yes, I agree with you about Kata. I would definitley choose to stay there over Patong. ;-)
Hi Andrew, great video. I lived in Phuket for a few years and you’ve captured it really well.
Thank you. I apprwciate you saying that. Which area did you live in and like the most?
@@AlwaysonaJourney I lived on Soi 4 Bangtao. I’m back for a month in December and cant wait to catch up with everyone.
@@aidjunkie5335 Very nice. That will be great having a month in Phuket. Enjoy yourself!
Thank you for your review, it helps a lot for tourist 😊
I"m glad it was helpful. Are you visiting Phuket sometime soon?
@@AlwaysonaJourney yes, my friend and i will visiting phuket at the end of November
This video is so informative. We are planning our visits as per your suggestions. Thank you
Thank you and I hope you have a great time in Phuket.
You did a great job on this video, thank you very much. Greetings from Utah (USA).
Thank you so much. I appreciate you saying that. ;-)
This was a brilliant video and so helpful! Thank you :)
Thank you. Have you decided on which area to stay in?
@@AlwaysonaJourney Yes we have booked Patong and Karon however after watching this video I now have a lot of places listed to visit :) Thanks again
Thank you very much for the guide! I was really adamant that I’d stay in Pa Tong if were to visit Phuket someday solely because stunning beach views & how beautiful the town is but I did not think about the nightlife at all & I’m kind of introverted who prefers a peaceful, quiet and relaxing holiday. Now I feel like Kamala is perfect for me! 😍
Thank you. I hope you enjoy your trip to Phuket, Kamala is very nice. ;-)
Appreciate this great and informative video!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for this video, I’m going to Pucket next week, Trying to decide where on Pucket,
This helped me a lot,
Thank You.
Thanks. I hope you enjoy your trip. Have you decided on an area yet?
this was the best and most useful video !! THANK YOU
Thanks. It's good to know you thought it was useful 👍
Thank you. Fantastic presentation.
Thanks a lot.:-)
Thanks for share your information 😀👍❤️great video, I love Karon beach 🏖 live always there on my holidays,
Thank you. It's a lovely area. Very calm and laid back I think. :-)
Thank you so much for this video ❤
You are so welcome!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate.
Thsts brilliant. I hope it was useful. Have you decided where to stay yet?
@@AlwaysonaJourney well that was kind of decided before I came, I'm staying at a friend's condo next to phuket central. But this video helps me know where I want to explore.
Enjoy your trip:-)
Thanks for showing the locations on the map. That is really handy.
Thanks. Are you heading to Phuket soon?
Well explained, thanks 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you. ;-)
Thank you for your mention of the Soi Dog Foundation - I hope to do a volunteer day when next I am in Phuket 🙂
Oh you should definitely do it. It's so lovely.
Very informative, love it and thank you.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy Phuket when you visit. :-)
Great informative video, really helped us make a decision! Thank you.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy your time in Phuket
I've stayed in Kata a couple of times, Karon & Patong. Kata beach is my absolute favourite place in the whole world (and I have travelled quite a bit). Karon is not that far away and hotels tend to be a little cheaper than Kata. Its a good walk or a quick tuk-tuk ride between the two. Patong is exactly as you described it. I probably wouldn't stay there again as it gets a bit much if you are there for more than a week. Also a tuk-tuk/taxi from Kata/Karon to Patong is worth the fare and quite a pleasant journey.
Have you ever been down to Nai Harn? I love it there. ;-)
Been to kata. Love the morning walks between kata and karon, and then breakfast at flora resort hotel. Hopefully we can go to Thailand soon 🙏
That sounds lovely. When was the last time you were here?Which country are you in?
@@AlwaysonaJourney we’re at kata 2015. But last time I was in Thailand was 2019, in Aonang
I’m from Sweden
This is a great video, thank you.
Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it. Which area do you like most?
Very helpful video, thank you
You're welcome. I hope you enjoy Phuket.
Mate, truly an amazing vlog, I can see why it's almost got 50k views in less than 2 months!! Although, I'm very surprised you've only got just under 7k subscribers, as the vlog was very informative and one of the best I've seen on here. This is my first vlog of yours I've seen, but I'm looking forward to checking out the rest! I know a lot of people hate it, but with the amount of views you're getting, you should really be pushing your subs more.
I've been to Phuket, but way back in 2008, we stayed in Patong and as much as I enjoyed it (mainly Tiger club on Bangla Road), I now wish I'd moved around a little bit, which I'm planning to do on next visit. I'm not sure if you're based out there full time, but I'm planning to be on Phuket myself in December this year, would be great to catch up and get some advise for stuff to do on the island! Anyway, keep on vlogging brother. 👍
Hello and thank you for taking the time to message me.It means a lot to hear comments like yours. It motivates me. I'm not in Phuket now. We will be back sometime next year but not sure exactly when.
@@AlwaysonaJourney Cool, cool. No worries, the comments are really deserved. I haven't had the chance to go through your other vlogs yet, but a lot of the vloggers I follow ended up from collaborations, perhaps you should approach some of them?
Visiting Soi Dog Foundation has been the highlight of my trips to Phuket. The most wonderful animal rescue place I have visited in all of Asia. Do yourself a favour - volunteer , even if it's just for half an hour walking the dogs or cuddling the cats. Compassion in Action !!!
Lovely comment Leonie. I agree more people should volunteer as it's a wonderful experience. ;-)
Ahh I am planning to Phuket next year. Do you have any info on how to go there and how to register to volunteer?
Where are you traveling from? If you like cats and dogs you could volunteer at Soi Dog Foundation. It's amazing
@@AlwaysonaJourney I am travelling from Malaysia. And not sure yet what to do, I think it’ll be great to be volunteering there.
You can go on there website and fill in a request to volunteer form.
this has been very useful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Are you going to Phuket soon?
@@AlwaysonaJourney Going to go in August with my kids... I have another question. I plan to spend about 9-10 days in the Phuket area. RIght now i'm prety certain i'm staying in Kata for 5 days? but what about the other 4-5 days? should stay in another area(beach) of Phuket or should i take ferry to Phi Phi island and stay there? I have a limited budget and want to do family water activites
Very nice video, summarizing the whole of Phuket
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. ;-)
I just came back from Phuket last weekend and I gotta say I loved Karon beach.Hands down one of the most beautiful beaches ive seen. I wanna go back already
Thank you for advice haha..couse we hv plan to going next month
Always good to leave somewhere feeling like you want to go back. Sign up a great holiday. ;-)
Thanks... I'm planning a trip for next week 😀
@@theUnArtist Brilliant. Have you decided where to stay yet?
Where did you stay sara? Going in November and looking for a good mid price hotel near Karon beach.
I stay in Kata beach during low season . Awesome place . Met loads of regulars and expats there etc . Away from the madness of patong but still has plenty of nightlife and things to do .
I think Kata beach is a great choice aswell.
Did u find there was too many Russians. I've heard kata beach is the worst for it
@@nate9169 Yeh but you don't really see them at night bud I found . They re tight as fook so don't go out lol But day time , on the beach , yeh there's loads of them . But I chill by hotel pool during day then out at night 😊👍
Love Nai Yang. Spent Xmas there with my family last year. Great food and wonderful beach.
Sounds lovely. I agree with you. It's a great area.
Nice video thank you. I’ve stayed in Patong, which I thought was bloody marvellous, and I also had a couple of nights at a posh hotel in Kata. That was bloody marvellous too. I’m actually here in Thailand even as we speak.
Hiya Tony. Thanks. Are you still in Phuket?
@@AlwaysonaJourney no I’m just leaving Pattaya and heading for Koh Chang. It’s one of my favourite places in Thailand/Asia/ the whole wide world. I will visit Phuket at some point, but I’m in a great situation now. I have plenty of time to mooch about. After Koh Chang I want to visit Siem Reap.
@@TonyKeepingItClean Brilliant. I've never been to Koh Chang. I'll get there eventually. Enjoy yourself. ;)
Hi , we were to Kata i, January 2017 and will come back in January 2023 for 1 week . Thank you for all this informations about Phuket .
You are welcome 😊 Will you go back to Kata again in January?
Hello Andrew, as usual great content. helped us a lot in planning our thailand visit in november. I have a question for kata. Can we book island tours from kata or does it need to be done only from patong? please help
Thank you. Yes you can book tour at the agency everywhere around Phuket. You can ask 2 or 3 places to compare the price to get the best price.
Best video i had seen on phuket ...it's simple and it will be really helpful for travelers like us ... thanks bubby and kindly suggest some good resorts in phuket
Thank you. I stayed at the Pullman Phuket Panwa two weeks ago and it was fantastic. Check it out here.
th-cam.com/video/380CZcpn8TM/w-d-xo.html
Great vid!
Thank you. Are you going to Phuket soon?
Thankyou helped me a lot 😊
Thanks. i am glad it was useful. When are you travelling to Phuket?
@@AlwaysonaJourney Going in February can’t wait stayin in 3/4 different places. After watching your video
@@MrEaster77 Excellent. It's good to move around and get to see more of the island. ;-)
Wish I saw this video before I went there so I had an idea where to stay but I had a great time in Surin beach which is not included in your video. But we went to Patong just to Checked it. This video helps future travelers.i loved how you made it into simple and easy to decide which beach to visit next time.
Nice to hear that you enjoyed you're time in Phuket. We made a 2nd video that includes Surin. It's very nice up there aswell. :-)
I've stayed in Kamala,Patong & Kata.Kata was my favourite.I liked how close i was to both Kata and Karon beaches and how it had everything to offer but not as chaotic as Patong.
I agree with you there. Kata would definitely be my choice rather than Patong. ;-)
@@AlwaysonaJourney 👍
Great info!
Thank you. ;-)
Great video!
Thank you. ;-)
good vidio concise and to the point
Thank you.:-)
Amazing, we’re coming there today and can’t wait to shoot some content here, hopefully it’s not raining
Fingers crossed for you. Enjoy your trip. ;-)
Very good, thanx !
Thank you. :-)
So helpful!!
Thanks again.i appreciate your comments. :-)
Great video. TY!!! Might you have a recommendation for a resort in Karon? TY again :)
Thank you. I've never stayed in Karon so don't know any resorts in thst area yet.
really helpful video
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Hi Andrew what a great and informative video you had. I have a question of all the places you've mention which one would you recommend most or prefer most? Thanks
Hello and thank you. I like all areas for different reasons but the next time I visit Phuket again I'll c stay in Nai Harn. The beach there is my favourite. There's a good selection of restaurants to suit all budgets and it has a very chilled laid back feel to it. There's isn't s party scene there in the evening. That suits me but for some people evenings there might be a little too quiet. ;-)
Thanks for the recommendation. I definitely want to check out soi dog! ❤
You should! It's amazing. They do great work there. :-)
Good video, but next time don't forget to review CHALONG (close to chalong circus / chalong Police) as there are many condo's and expats there as it is close to the port which takes to you to the nearby islands, the beach and the Big buddha. Also there is Villa Market, Home Pro, starbucks and other shops and restaurants in the cosy mall there (it's a good one!). I lived 6 months there, it was fun!! 🙂
Thanks. I included Chalong in my 2nd Phuket areas videos. I made two as didn't want the video to be too long. Chalong is a good choice for long stay but someone coming for a week or less I think the other areas are more suitable.
@@AlwaysonaJourney LOL yes just saw the other video... I almost rented in Karon Beach but i found it remote as I did not plan to get a bike or car. You are correct - Chalong was very good for long stay; I was walking everywhere or taking InDriver for 60/80 baht for places like Macro / Tesco lotus est for shopping . But mostly I was walking distance (100 meters) from the local Villa Market. In any case, great videos. i have subscribed!
@@Adrian-S. Thank you. Appreciate that. Where are you now?
Absolutely helpful! Appreciate you creating this video. My fiancé and I are going to Phuket this coming June and this helps us a lot in deciding where to stay.
Excellent and thank you. Have you chosen an area yet?
Me and my wife will be there in june . Still figuring out where to stay . Where have you guys decided ?
I lived in Phuket for 7 months and this is pretty accurate. just expect 10x the amount of people than displayed in this video, after covid and now with the rus/ukr situation its very very busy
I love Phuket but you're right. Its very busy now.
Can we meet Russian girl ? Or Ukranian girl ?
I'm sure that's a possibility
Super informative. I arrived back in Oz last week after 3 weeks in Phuket (Patong and Rawai). Heading back to Thailand in November for min 1 year. Undecided if I want Pattaya or Phuket. Choices. Depends on the scene.
Thank you! Have you spent much time in Pattaya in the past? I can't really compare the two as I've only spent three days in Pattaya. I know Phuket so much better. That's great though that you're coming back for a year.;-0
@@AlwaysonaJourney Pattaya 5 weeks 3 years ago. enjoyed it because public transport was conveniant, close enough to Bangkok, bigger city not so remote. Paradise complex and jomtien beach areas great nighlife.
@@cjeremie I need to go again at some point to get to know the area better. I like a night out at the Paradise Complex now and again. ;-)
Thanks for the video, we’re going to visit Phuket in July. We’re still looking for hotels each places with nice beaches that you can swim.
Thank you. Have you decided on whcih area you'd like to stay in?
@@AlwaysonaJourney we would like to stay Kata, kamala. Maybe 2 nights in Patong, and just day trips to other places.
Do you have video about Krabi? I can’t find it in your channel.
I haven't created a best areas of Krabi video yet. There's a few Krabi videos of activities. Hot springs, cafes, viewpoints. ;-)
Thanks for doing the videos, they're really good for helping organise our holiday.
We're staying in Kata at the end of November. Is there a lot of choice for pubs/ bars near Metadee Elite hotel?
Thank you. I don't know the hotel you mentioned but there are quite a few pubs in Kata.I don't know what the prices are like as I've never been in any of them.
@@AlwaysonaJourney thanks for replying. Not a problem, we'll have a great time, can't wait to be over there
@@Mick_On_The_Moor Not long to wait. Enjoy yourselves. ;-)
Super video thank you 🙏.... any tips on places / hotels to stay .... if you don't know which area you want to remain at is it best just to book a flight & plan your stay from Thailand?
Thank you. Phuket is very busy now so it might be better to book in advance. I lived there so haven't stayed in many hotels.
I love Karon. I have lost count of how many times l have been to Phuket and never tire of it. I have tried Patong and Kata but l always return to Karon.
Will you visit Phuket this year?
@@AlwaysonaJourney yes, l need to see my dentist in Karon.
Glad to read your comment on Karon. Going there in four days so feeling happy I've made the right choice of location.
I hope you have a great time.
Great video, thank you. I’m where would be the best fruit markets? The second beach Pata looks like my speed just want a great fruit market close
There's a lot of fruit near to Suan Luang Park which is not far from Phuket Town.
Ok thank you. We are deciding between Phuket and koi sumi for a year and want to have a great fruit market
Very informative 😊 #Thanks
Thank you 😊
Спасибо ! Очень классный обзор ❤
Спасибо
I didn't know Phuket has a lot to offer. I thought its all about Patong Beach and Bangla Road. Oh, I wish I could travel there someday. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
You're not alone. I used to think like that until I spent more time there. It's beautiful and has so much to offer.
Brilliant video
Thank you:-)
Awesome video ! One question
I’ve heard Rawai mentioned a lot but didn’t see it mentioned here, is that captured in one of the areas you mentioned ?
Thank you. We didn't include Rawai in the video. It's very close to Nai Harn which we think has a better beach and is a more popular spot.
@@AlwaysonaJourney ohh okay gotcha , thank you!
@@brandonyoung5254 Rawai Beach is not really a swimmable beach as there are a lot of boats in the water which makes the water kind of yucky if you know I mean
I can definetly recommend cape panwa if you just looking to chill. its a quiet area with a few good restaurant and a good private beach.
I agree. We just stayed at the Pullman in Cape Panwa. It's a lovejly hotel and great part of Phuket.
Stayed at the Royal Yacht Club Nai Harn in 1985, in those days there wasn’t an airport on Phuket so it was a boat trip to the island.
Have you been back to Thailand since 1985?
@@AlwaysonaJourney yes I have been back to Phuket 2004 and thought it was a little over developed, also been to Bangkok, Koh Samui and Chaing Mai.
The video so excellent
Thanks for you kind comment. ;-)
great video
Thank you
Karon is my favorite, not too busy in the day and nice and relaxing, then it's only a short tuk tuk ride away from the craziness of bangla road for a night out if you want :)
Yeah, I think you've made a good choice there. :-)
I stayed at the Novatel
At Kamala Beach One day I took the bus to Jungceylon Mall for a day trip. The entire experience at Kamala Beach was very worthwhile
When were you in Kamala Byron? Was it busy?
Great video. I’ll be on a cruise next March, with a one day stop in Phuket. Any suggestions on an area to visit (as I only see being able to visit one, maybe two areas)? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Hi Mark. If you want nightlife then Patong would be the best option. If you prefer a nice beach with decent restaurants then Kata would be a good option.
@@AlwaysonaJourney Thanks for the suggestions.
Patong for me, if I want a quieter time and on most days, I head out on a hired scooter. Surin beach is a favourite of mine. I’m headed out again from UK at the end of November.
Isn't it great riding around on a scooter? Surin is beautiful. Very different to Patong. Enjoy your trip in November. ;-)
@@AlwaysonaJourney I liked it so much as a guy with big bikes, I bought a scooter at home. I now have a 560cc Yamaha TMax, amazing machine. I’m from the NE uk too.
Ahh so we've got the same accent? :-)
Yes, I’m an Alnmouth lad
Great video. Can we easily go to Kata beach from the airport by bus or any other cheap options ?
Hello. The smart bus goes to Kata from Phuket Airport. It costs 100THB per person
Great video 📹 👍
Thank you. 😀
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Which country are you in?
@@AlwaysonaJourney I live in Finland. The purpose would be to get to Thailand next year 🙂
@@Nicoranx Nice. I've never been there. The wetahe rin Thailand is usually the best in the first few months of the year. Jan, Feb and March.
I love Phuket!
Me too. Any plans to go again?
I lived in Patong for 8 months mostly off Nanai. Love the area. Just too close to Bangla then I need to be so moving to Karon soon. I have stayed at or been to all the beaches on the west coast from the airport to Nai Harn and around the east a bit. Can’t think of a bad area honestly.
I agree with you. All areas have something to offer. Phuket is an amazing island.
Highly recommend visiting Bangtao once!
Totally agree. It's a lovely area.
This will be helpful for those planning their holiday. It is worth noting that the jet ski operators are notorious for scamming those who unwittingly use their services. There have been frequent complaints that the operators will extract large sums for damage that they claim has been done to the jet skis.
Thanks for sharing your info here William.
Thanks for the great information! I’m planning my first visit in late June. Which area do you think would be the best for a single guy to visit who isn’t into the night life?? I’ve been researching for weeks and it’s so hard to decide haha
I think Kata is a good choice. It has good restaurants, hotels and beaches. Nightlifie is available but not as loud and crazy as Patong.
@@AlwaysonaJourney great thanks!
we r on the way :D gonna be there in 1 month so now we r looking for a good place to stay. Bang Tao sounds good. we r not really into crowded and noisy places
BangTao is lovely. Is it your first time visiting Thailand?
@@AlwaysonaJourney yeah, we wanted to go there a long time ago but the virus... now we r good to go :D
Excellent. I hope you have a fantastic time. 😀
Karon beach is a flat coast, that's why not much people there. ( as I seen in your vdo, red flags at Karon beach) I really love Phuket... I visited 3 times in the wet season last year, I visited and stayed in many beaches, they were different feelings. I like Kata, Patong, Kamala and especially, never forget, Rawai beach, there are lots of fresh seafood restaurants there.
Yes. Rawai is great for seafood. Phuket beaches are gorgeous.
I am booked on a flight 15th of March too Phuket can’t wait
Nice. Which area have you chosen to stay in?
Phuket
Patong
Have a great time. ;-)
@@AlwaysonaJourney Thanks so much I am truly so dam excited
well organized and informative video
I wish I watched this earlier
it would have saved me a lot of time
thanks for the great work
Thank you very much. ;-0
I enjoyed that!!
Thanks. That's good to hear. Are you going to Phuket this year?
@@AlwaysonaJourney yes, headed there in 2 weeks
Have a great trip. ;-)
@@AlwaysonaJourney Ko Phi Phi or Ko Racha Yai?
@@detstudy I've never been to Koh Racha Yai
Subscribed👍Love from India😍
Thanks Prakash. We are coming to India in February. Which city are you from?
Hi Andrew,
I enjoy watching your channel and it helped me a lot with my travels. I have a question about transportation around the island of Phuket. What's the fare from one place like let say from airport to patong beach? Also, I heard you need to have Bhat money, where did you get your money exchange? My husband and I are planning to visit phuket this July and it's both our first time. Thank you so much.
Hi Aika. The cost of the taxi depends on what application you book, Grab is more expensive than the others(cost around 600-1000 thb). You can find another cheap option which is Phuket airport smart bus only 100 thb. The best rate to change you money is in Paton beach if you need thai baht you can change a few amount at the airport. We put some detail in the description about the transportation in this VDO . Hopefulley it help a lot for you holidays. Thank you.
th-cam.com/video/GYo7Ew_E9m8/w-d-xo.html
@@AlwaysonaJourney thank you so much. I saw your video during your Cebu trip. I am from Cebu by the way. I will be visiting my town this July. Thanks for the info. I appreciate you.
It's kata or karon for me next trip mate , then i can go to patong when i want ? thanks for this video. 👍 cheers
Sounds like a good plan. 😉
Hey thanks for the video, just wondering how much is a surfing lesson for a newbie, how long does it last and what time do they typically start?
It normally take 2 or 3 hrs for the basics ( half day morning or afternoon the price starts at 800 thb), after that you can rent the board and practice by yourself.
Surin Beach near Bang Tao is the best in Phuket in my humble opinion😁
Deefinitely a good choice. ;-)
Stayed in Patong a few times, tried Kata its a bit quieter, however, it was full of Russians, menus and everything in russian. Found a great beach bar.
When were you in Kata? Did you go to Kata Noi aswell?
@@AlwaysonaJourney Hi we were there February 2920, had a few nights in Bangkok, 7 in Kata, then on to fav place Khaolak, back to Bangkok, just home before lockdown, hoping to get there again after Xmas. Stayed at the Ibis in Kata so kept to the beaches that end.
Great video. Booked for 6 weeks in Thailand later in the year with my wife and 2 young kids. Sounds like Kata or Kamala may work well for quieter family friendly areas. Do you agree?
Thanks Kris. I do agree. i think Kata is the better choice as it's got two great beaches, plenty of restaurants and it's really easy to get to other spots from there.
@@AlwaysonaJourney Congrats on 6K subs. I've been following since well before 500; it's great to see the growth of your channel!
@@Kris-bk3br Kris, thank you so much. You've made my day. It means a lot to us to know we have support.
