South Africans in Phuket: so much more than a party island

See a different side of Phuket. Louis Baartman and songstress wife Cecily have been living here for 3 years. They own a successful TEFL training program and regularly bring over South Africans to train and work in local schools. Louis is also the brains and body behind Radio Houtstok, an online radio station for South Africans. He takes us around the island to some of the secluded beaches. We braai around the pool with teachers Paul & Nadia. Retired business man, Tieka, chats to us about leaving behind the hustle of Jo’burg life for the tranquility of Thailand.
