The museums located on the island of Phuket, stand witness and illustrate, the vastness of the history and culture that is immense on the Thai Island.  One museum is located by the Heroines Monument,  close to the airport and the five star hotel.  Phuket is close to the Thalang National Museum located on Viset Road in the town of Thalang.  The museum regularly has on exhibit artifacts of the cultures indigenous to the city.  There is craft-works from the South Thailand regions as well as the Vishnu sculpture dating back to the ninth century.  There are seminars that focus on the general history of the island, with a section describing the various cultures that have immigrated to the city, the Muslims, the Sea Gypsies, and the Chinese.    There are reproductions of the homes and villages that illustrate and provide understanding of the way people lived many years ago.

There is an entire section devoted to Lady Mook and Lady Jan,  the ‘Heroines of Phuket’  These two women inspired the people of the city in their war, and consequent defeat in 1785 against the Burmese invasions.  These two women are respected and honored throughout the country of Thailand, but no more so than in their homelands of Thalang and Phuket.  Schools, temples and roads are named of them throughout.  This is one of the many museums that exhibit and preserve the culture and the incredible heritage of this country.  Modernization and industrialization has influenced the culture greatly, but has not wiped it out.  More importantly, the modern world has served to further enhance that from which these people and this country have come from and still hold precious and dear.  This is most certainly one of the most interesting and educational of attractions when sightseeing throughout Thailand and the island of Phuket.

Red. Packs a wallop. Physiologically, it increases the blood pressure, the heartbeat, eyelid movement, breathing increase, the production of adrenaline and the energy in a majority of people. Red instills feelings of intimacy and passion. Most major restaurants in NY Hotels will have a interior color of Red because it increases the appetite. It is also the color of Love. Red clothing on the female gender will get noticed more by the male gender. There are some negative sides to the color of red, like if one is in mediation or negotiations, red will sub-consciously cause conflicting emotions in the other party with which one is dealing with and hinder the progress or even stop the proceedings. Red cars are the target for most car thieves, basically for the joyride and not for the chop blocks. But, red can be a very helpful tool as for marketing, it attracts the customers’ attention.

The impact of red for the marketing of consumer goods explains the way the color vision is created in the human brain and really emphasizes the importance and relevance the color has for each individual and aid in the orientation of the everyday surroundings. An example is the difference the impact of the color of red has on Americans compared to the impact on the Chinese. Americans see red as a violent color and connotes a fierceness, where as the Chinese view red to has a soothing quality and brings up subconscious thoughts of peace.

Red is inspiring no matter what the culture one comes from. An energetic vibrant color a complex color and a powerful color. To understand its symbolic meaning one needs to only look and appreciate
natures most beautiful color either warning us to not touch or inviting us to eat it, smell it and simply look at it. Red, it’s a beautiful thing.
