The leading destination of Phuket is auspiciously absent from Trip Advisor's Travelers' Choice Awards 2011.

Last year the island tallied in with a number of highly ranked resorts.

Thailand's resort market does weigh in with Samui's Sandalwood Luxury Villas hitting #19 in the Top 25 Hotels of the World.

Well known Banyan Tree showed well at #18, though it was for their Mayakoba Resort on Mexico's Riviera Maya.

In the Romance category Krabi's opulent Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve was #7. Koh Samui's Sandalwood made another appearance in Relaxation and Spa's with a #9 accolade.

As they say in sports and entertainment there's always next year for Phuket.
