About Phuket
Phuket... a lush, rainforested, mountainous island in the Andaman Sea, boasts Thailand’s most beautiful beaches and secluded bays, mostly situated along the crystal waters of the western shore.
The island is home to many high-end seaside resorts, spas and eateries. Phuket City, the capital, bustles with historic shophouses and thriving markets. Patong, the main resort town, is alive with vibrant nightclubs, world class restaurants and sophisticated bars.
And the weather?
Phuket waters are 27 degrees all year round, the average daily temperature 30 degrees with the night dipping to around 27 degrees. The high season gets underway October/November through to March/April. The low season is essentially the same weather, a little warmer with a few more showers & local storms about.
No matter what time of year, Phuket is the perfect reward. Relax, re-boot or revive... the options are endless.
You're in Good Hands
Imagine cruising the islands of Thailand's amazing Phang Nga Bay aboard C'est la Vie, sipping cocktails from a fresh coconut or pineapple before a tropical feast in the shade of a sun soaked private beach...
Fine wine dining overlooking a stunning Patong Bay sunset from Baan Rim Pa... arguably one of the world's best traditional Thai restaurants... or an evening with the locals at the Chilva night markets sampling the freshest seafood and local delicacies...
And for the courageous, a night on the town in Bang La Road enjoying the best of Phuket's bars, bands and fascinating nightlife.
Plus private shopping trips to the best fashion outlets Phuket has to offer, golf at Phuket's outstanding Red Mountain, amazing Thai temples, fire dancing, elephants, tigers, monkeys, caves, diving, fishing, surfing, kayaking and more...

TESTIMONIALS
"Absolutely amazing. Hugely successful reward trip... I was able to relax & connect with our top clients knowing everything was pre-arranged. Without a doubt Greg's local knowledge & attention to detail certainly gave us a unique money can't buy experience."
Rick Dalton (Radio Station 96fm General Manager)
"We gave our clients a sensational experience. Greg & I planned & pre-arranged everything back in Australia... I was able to select menus, make wine choices, seating plans, everything. Then he managed every detail every step of the way during the trip... and came in under budget! Excellent restaurants, fun transport, best shopping, private luxury boat... all included. Best value trip ever!"
Liana George (Sales Operations Specialist ARN)
Brilliant trip... brilliant destination! It's the perfect location for client rewards & staff incentives. Greg's experience & local knowledge made for an amazing 5 days. What a great concept... Having a Man on the Ground to prep everything beforehand then follow through during the event delivered exceptional value. The best restaurants, the best resorts, world class facilities, private boat, deserted islands & spectacular scenery... a truly unique client experience.
L.D. McLeod, Managing Director Westplate
"We hit the ground running... our clients didn't know what hit them! A class act rooftop sunset welcome then whisked away in a private tuk-tuk convoy to a fantastic open air restaurant overlooking the bay before hitting the town with our Man on the Ground. Our private island cruise was an absolute highlight. Sharing the whole Man on the Ground Phuket experience made for great client relations."
Paige Wright (96fm Agency Sales)
The options Greg Keamy can bring to fruition are amazing... his corporate background makes for a level of understanding of corporate requirement that is difficult to find. Combined with a wealth of on the ground experience, his local knowledge makes him perfectly positioned to deliver a successful outcome every time. Choosing the right accommodation, the right restaurants & the right facilities along with well balanced, well organised & professionally produced events, is paramount to getting the right return on investment. I have no hesitation in recommending Man on the Ground to any corporate looking for that unique point of difference we are all searching for.
