Not only rich in Thai lodging is also famous for a favorite
vacation spot for foreign tourists. Well, for those of you who want to vacation
in Phuket, there are special tips you should know beforehand. Any? The
following vacation tips to Phuket, Thailand.
1. The best vacation time to Phuket
Typical of the coast, the weather in Phuket is not much
different from the weather like in Bali. If you are entering the hot season
around April to June, then Phuket will be very dry. However, if it enters the
wet season from July to November, Phuket will rain continuously.
Well, the best vacation time to Phuket falls in December to
March, which is the transition month from the rainy season to summer, so the
weather in Phuket will feel cooler. So, you can have a more comfortable
vacation without having to be hot or rain on.
2. From the airport to Phuket can be reached by taxi
The distance from Phuket International Airport to Patong
Beach reaches approximately 40 km. There are several alternative transportation
options that you can choose to get to Patong Beach from the airport. Starting
from the minibus, taxi, and meter metered taxis.
If you choose the minibus, each person will be charged
around 100 Baht. However, the trip using the minibus only reaches Phuket Town
and you have to continue the journey by returning to the minibus to get to
Patong Beach. Although cheap, driving by minibus will certainly take a longer
trip.
Instead of lingering on the road, you should use a taxi to
save time traveling. If you use a metered meter taxi, you probably will pay
around 800 Baht. Indeed, it is much more expensive, but it is more effective
than taking a minibus, right?
3. Phuket Town is a cheap place to stay
If you are confused about finding a place to stay, then you
can choose to stay in the famous area of Phuket Town to install room rates
per night at a low price. Another advantage when you stay there is the ease of
finding public transportation making it easier for you to visit tourist
attractions.
Apart from Phuket Town, you can also stay at a beach area
like Patong Beach. In a way, this beach is one of the busiest areas in Phuket.
No wonder you will find many places to stay at varying prices. Ranging from
cheap to luxurious ones too.
4. Rent a motorbike while in Phuket
The most comfortable exploring Phuket with a motorbike. Why?
In addition to lower rental rates, motorbike driving makes it easier for you to
look around Phuket city more closely. For motorbike rental prices there are
around 200 to 250 Baht per day. Tips for those of you who want to rent a
motorbike in Phuket, look for a reliable motorbike rental because the guarantee
of motorcycle rental there must use a passport.
5. For Moslem, be careful when looking for halal food
Now for Moslems, it is advisable to be more careful in
finding halal food. Because, several restaurants in Phuket, including fast-food
restaurants, do not provide halal food. Rather than halal yet guaranteed, it
would be nice to look for Arab and Indian-themed restaurants in the Patong
Beach area.
6. Booking a one day trip for island traveling in Phuket
Upon arrival at Phuket Airport, you will immediately be greeted
with various tour package offers. If you have not had time to look for it while
still in your country, then you should choose a tour package offered by the
hotel where you stay. Because usually, the tour packages offered by the hotel
are a bit cheaper and of course security is guaranteed because they take along
the name of the hotel itself.
Don’t forget to book a one day trip for island hoping in
Phuket. Island traveling means you get on a boat to move from one island to
another. So, in one day you can visit several islands at once. Not only that,
but usually you will also get facilities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and
others. Well, the price of the island traveling in Phuket for one day on
average ranges from 700 to 1500 Baht.
