Phuket is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand, and even in Asia. It is Thailand’s largest island, about the size of Singapore. This place is not something like a tourists’ new love. However, it still is quite a good place for most things you want during a vacation. I would not mind going there again in the future.
We went there last year in late June to early July. Usually it is low season around that time. The hotels were a lot cheaper and had great deals which meant that you would have more choices for a nice hotel. And it was quite less crowded so you would not feel that it is too annoying to walk around.
So what is actually that good about Phuket? I am going to show you some amazing parts and also some guidance/tips for a trip to that fantastic island.
First, alcohols. Well, alcoholic drinks are good and are a must when on vacation. In Phuket, you can find cocktails/beer/strong spirits for very cheap. Usually a cocktail would only cost $30-60 HKD. They are probably not that strong but they are absolutely tasty. And for that price, it is good enough already. Usually you can get cocktails in most restaurants and pubs/bars. But the main Phuket night life area is Patong. There are heaps of bars, restaurants and shops.
