the quality of clothing is superior in Phuket. Your T-shirts, polo shirts, shorts etc will last you 5+ years from Phuket - pretty luck to get that from anything bought in Bali. Also, we were in Phuket last year and were picking up designer bags (fake of course) - LV, Chanel etc for between $15 - $25 AUD depending on whether is was current season or last years. We are off to Bali in 6wks so will be interesting to compare it with Phuket (we were last in Bali in 2004)
