Tips for independent journey to Phuket

An independent trip to Phuket is always an exciting and unpredictable adventure. That’s why experienced travelers advise to prepare for the trip in advance. In this article we will give you some useful tips, following which you will spend your vacation comfortably and without any problems. These simple but important pieces of advice will tell you what to do and how to plan your trip properly.

We book in advance!

While planning you independent travel you should think "how to get there?" and "where to live in Phuket?". Flights to Thailand should be booked as early as possible (for example in a few months) in this case the cost of the flight will be minimal. If you decide to buy tickets in just a few days or weeks before the trip, the price will unpleasantly surprise you. Please note that on weekdays tickets are cheaper than at weekends. With the help of special services you can compare prices of different airlines and book tickets without leaving your home.

The situation is the same with housing on the island. In good hotels rooms can be booked by other tourists pretty quickly, so it's better to book a room in advance. The cost of the room does not depend on the time of booking, but the price increases during the tourist season. If you are planning to stay in a hotel for the first time, it is better to book it for a short time (2-3 days) because the photo and description at the website can be different from reality or you may not like this district. After arrival you will know exactly whether it is worth prolonging the reservation or not. Especially one of the advantages of independent travel is that you are not limited in the number of places to stay, nothing prevents you from living in different hotels for several days.

Choosing a district for living is also very important. You can watch photos and descriptions of different districts of Phuket in advance. For example Karon Beach is the best place for a quiet family vacation and Patong is suitable for active and cheerful holidays.

It is better to choose transport to travel from the airport to the hotel in advance so that not to pay much money to local taxi drivers who will actively offer their services as soon as you arrive. The best variant is to book a transfer from the airport at our website.

Food and entertainments!

Experienced tourists can also share a few tips about food in Phuket. Thailand is famous all over the world with its national cuisine and you should definitely try local dishes! While choosing a café or restaurant where to have lunch or dinner, pay attention to the presence of local residents among visitors. If there are only tourists, most likely, this cafe attracts only by bright advertising but not good food. Local people don't buy these advertising tricks. They always choose cafes with really good and tasty food.

It is better to go to the local markets for the freshest and cheapest products. There are several day and night markets in Phuket. Another advantage of the markets is that you can not only buy products, but also ask to cook tasty dishes from them.

Phuket has a lot of attractions and interesting places. To see and learn as much as possible about the island you need to plan your vacation.
