Hotels in Phuket - Prices and Reviews

Travelling from East Thailand to West Thailand was a long journey made even longer by the fact we were meant to be getting a boat and a bus to get there but it ended up being many hours, 2 boats and 3 buses. But eventually we made it to Koh Sok NP and even in darkenss I could tell this place was just beautiful. We were based right on the edge of...

Since we had an early flight out of Phuket, we took a ferry back from Koh Phi Phi the day before. The resort area of Phuket is Patong, but we stayed in Phuket Town for convenience. Phuket town is dirty and there is really nothing to do. Don't go there unless it's just for a quick stopover.

Got into Phuket on Monday evening and spent 2 nights here about 100 m from the beach. Phuket was amazing for me (Jess) as until Malaysia, I'd never been to Asia with the exception of Singapore and Japan which are very organised and modern. In the guide books, everyone speaks badly of Phuket "was lovely and simple 20 years ago" and if you're look...

Ob 7 uri zjutraj smo se odpeljali na letalisce in poleteli proti Bangkoku. Tam smo po 4 urah cakanja zopet sedli na letalo in se odpravili proti Phuketu. Po priblizno 1 uri letenja nam je pilot sporocil, da smo prisli na 31 stopinj vrocine. Po dobrih 2 urah po pristanku ter po voznji z avtobusom in nadvse sumljivim taksistom ter njegovo kripo br...

we left koh lanta really early. They came to pick us up at 7:20 in the morning. So we woke up ten minutes before. A van pulled over and asked us if we were going to phi phi, to which i answered no and told him that we were going to phuket. The most touristic island in the whole of thailand. Sweeden has got charter flights directly there, yeap, l...

We just landed in Phuket, Thailand and its RAINING!! Bummer!! Oh well..it is a good time us to check our emails and update the blogsite. We are located at an internet/arcade place that has a/c located in Phuket town. It is so cute and funny because we are sitting typing away and the people surround us are 10-15 year-old kids playing video games ...

4 hours I was stuck in the Bangkok rusg hour traffic, worrying that I wouldn't get to my bus in time..although this is Asia and there is always a bus. I actually got on a nice a comfortable bus, although I did have to endure The Di Vinci Code at maximum volume in Thai for the first two hours of the trip!!! I arrive in Phuket late the following m...

Hey there, Sam here: As you may have guessed from the title of today's blog we have been getting some interesting stares from both tourists and locals whilst in Phuket. But first: Getting the ferry over to Phuket from Krabi (Ao Nang beach) was an interesting experience. Taken to the ferry along with other passengers in an open air jeep-type van,...
