Hey guys, so a few cousins and myself are coming to Phuket over new years to celebrate my 21st birthday. What are some places to hit up to have a cracking time :)

I have done Phi Phi tours twice now.. what other day boat tours are there that are worth it? bonus if it can be on a long tail.

Hi!

Hoping to visit for the 1st time next year, we've been looking at Barcelo Coconut Island hotel as a base. I've looked on various websites but can't seem to get answers so hoping someone here can help.

Few questions if anyone can advise please?

I am aware the Island is quiet which is what we're looking for, but what facilities are there? Is there a shop we can get drinks / snacks (looking at bed and breakfast and eating out at night but would like things for the room)

What sort of prices are we looking at for beer / crisps/ wine etc in a local shop?

Are the water taxis to the mainland regular? Do they only run between certain times? Roughly how much do they cost?

Whats the average price of a meal on the mainland? Obviously this can vary massively, just thinking main course for 2 and a few drinks in an average restaurant (maybe a pasta or rice dish type meal, not lobster).

Are we better waiting to book excursions until we arrive or book ahead before we go.

Any and all advice would be great! Travelling from the UK.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

We’re visiting Phuket for a week, arriving on Sunday morning and leaving the following Sunday.

We’ve already booked two day trips through GetYourGuide:
Maya Bay & Phi Phi Islands
James Bond Island

So we’ve got around 3–4 days free and were wondering if anyone has any recommendations for things we shouldn’t miss?
We’re staying at the Phuket Marriott Resort and there’ll be 2 adults, 3 adults aged 18+, and a 6-year-old, so ideally things that everyone can enjoy.

Our budget is pretty flexible, so we’re more interested in great experiences than saving money.

Are there any beaches, restaurants, cafés, markets, viewpoints, shows, islands, or activities you’d definitely recommend? Also, are there any places that are overrated and not really worth the time?
Would love to hear your favourite spots or anything you wish you’d known before visiting.
Thanks!

Hey guys, we are going to Phuket for 4 days in mid-October.

We were planning to island hopping for a day. Could you suggest us which ones are the best? We would also like to do snorkelling if possible.

After our research, we were planning to AVOID Phi, Phi, Maya, James Bond and Hong.

What about the Similian or the Khai Islands?

Any island suggestions - where we can avoid crowds, enjoys serene blue waters with a view. Even the caves, look good.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Also, if you any additional information (about where to go snorkelling, other activities) and must -visits reccos for food (for vegetarians though)

Hi going there for holidays, where can I buy affordable legal buds near the Location: Cherngtalay, Phuket.

also wanna try Sour Diesel, Moon Rocks, kinda special buds.

last time have bought at smokey monkey at Bangla street. But from looks of it, seems quite far from the location. So can suggest others.

thanks in advance

I have been visiting phuket twice a year and every time i buy from a different store, 3 joints for 1000 baht , can i get recommendations about how to get it better , cheaper or is this is the regular price?

My friends and I will be visiting Patong in Phuket in late September / early October. How bad of the weather can we expect? Also, is Patong "slow" during this time of the year as well or are there still alot of female "workers" ?

I know some hotels charge tourists to bring working girls to their room. Any nice hotels you recommend to avoid this? We will be in the patong area
