I'm sorry, as a born speaker of the english language and all of its more...colourful words, this struck me as rather funny. So how is it meant to be pronounced?
It's pronounced as p-HOO-ket. When translated to English, PH combos in Thai are not pronounced as one letter (e.g., physician, philosophy); rather, they are pronounced as two distinct sounds "p" AND "h."
BTW great avatar there Fas and Froggy.

Off topic I know, but I must say that phuket is a beautiful island.

I assume that you've been there. Phuket is indeed lovely but I prefer to go back to Koh Samui.
As to be not off topic, I think T'lainya's red-haired fighter avatar looks very much like her.

Now Foul will have this picture placed in a temple.
Here is a Avatar I thought about puting up to replace Space Weasel.
(I didn't because of the load time. 6 sec's at 56k)

Cool animation

Hey frogus, cool avatar! It's almost as good as K's disco frog. Now if you can only get rid of the boring white back ground and replace it with, say, black pavement and yellow strips, it'd be perfect (though never as good as mine, which of course should go without saying. )
