To come to Phuket, what do you need to prepare, let’s find out together 😊

1. What need to prepare ?

Money: is the most necessary thing. Note that changing to USD or Bath and then bringing it to Thailand will be cheaper than changing it in Thailand.
Passport: Valid for at least 6 months. Currently Thailand does not check any more, so please feel free to visit.
Sim: can be purchased at the airport.
Prepare enough sunscreen, swimwear, hats, …

2. Transportation in Phuket :

🛵 : Rent a motorbike from 200-300 Bath with a comfortable scooter, strong, beautiful car and simple rental procedures
🛺 Tuk tuk: Is a public transport that meets everywhere on the street, but you need to pay the price.
🚕 Car: you can use Grab or Gojek in Thailand. Very convenient and fast.

3. Suitable time to Phuket:

It is from October to April. This time is the dry season in Thailand, there are few storms, beautiful sunshine and very clear sea. You should limit going to the end of the year and the beginning of the year because of the large number of tourists and the high cost of hotels and services.

4. Hotel

Thailand is a developed country in tourism, so choosing a hotel is easy and convenient. Especially, hotel prices in Phuket are quite cheap, you should experience in many hotels to get a feel, 4-5⭐️ hotels range from 50-150$. If you come to Koh Phi Phi, we recommend The Cobble Beach hotel with an extremely interesting view of the overflowing swimming pool overlooking the sea.

5. Food

Thai cuisine is very rich. Too many delicious dishes to try, but coming to Phuket and Koh Phi Phi you must definitely try: Coconut ice cream (at Big Budda temple), mixed porridge, Thai crepe (on Patong beach embankment). And especially should eat at the most famous restaurant on Koh Phi Phi island, where there is a small but very delicious Thai restaurant, the taste is better than the restaurant, leaving comments by many tourists around the world.

🏛️Phuket Old Town: Phuket Old Town is one of the oldest famous old towns in Thailand.

There are many virtual living corners, you should go a little early because it is dark, many shops will be closed.

🏖️ Patong Beach: is a very beautiful long coastline, here sells a lot of Thai snacks, cheap and delicious. Along the beach, there are many cafes with beautiful views, especially the sunset here is also very romantic.

📸: Phi Phi island: The beautiful island that I like the most, the island is quite clean with food services, beer bars bustling with international tourists. The island is designed with many virtual living corners and extremely attractive resorts. The hygiene here is very good, clean and beautiful, and there are many cats on the island, cat lovers come here for a few days without getting bored.
