Phuket is a big island. It measures more than 500 square kilometers and boasts many fantastic beaches and countless hotels and resorts. Accommodation is offered in secluded, quiet and tranquil areas, on private beaches and also in busy, raunchy areas and everything in-between. This may pose a somewhat daunting decision making situation in terms of where to stay on the island. Especially for the first time visitor. Going informed is a step in the right direction to making sure you enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Then the next question arises. When is the best time to go ?

Let’s take it one at a time.

Where to Stay ?

The first thing to remember when deciding where on Phuket to spend your vacation, is that Phuket offers a great infra structure with quality roads and an abundance of public transport to be found everywhere on the island. Cars, jeeps and motor cycles can be rented in every town. So, if you want to stay more secluded and away from the crowds, but not exactly want to re-live the life of Robinson Crusoe, do not fear. Getting from point A to B is not an issue. Several hotels even offer daily shuttle services to areas like Patong, which is buzzing with activity.

Patong Beach

Certainly the most popular, busiest and most “touristy” of them all is Patong, located in the centre of Phuket’s west coast. It boasts an impressive 3 kilometer stretch of fine beach with water sport activities galore and great for swimming. Patong is loaded with restaurants, beer bars, pubs, disco’s and clubs, shopping opportunities and all kinds of activities. There is no shortage of hotels and resorts ranging from top notch 5 star to budget friendly. If you want to be in the thick of it, Patong is your place.

However, in Patong you can be really close to the action, walking distance in fact, and still have tranquility. Head for Amari Coral Beach Resort for instance. It is superbly located on a secluded, private beach at the southern most corner of Patong and offer stunning views of the Andaman Sea.

Mai Khao Beach

Mai Khao is located at the northern tip of Phuket west coast. It offers 11 kilometers of straight beach which sees a mentionable absence of commercial development. If you want to see as little other tourists as possible, Mai Khao is your place. The down side ? The sand is course; you will notice some air traffic and swimming can be hazardous May to October. However, if you crave quiet time away from the crowds, come to Mai Khao. Sala Phuket Resort and Anantara Phuket are two quality resorts in Mai Khao that deserves a closer look.

Nai Yang

Nai Yang, located just south of Mai Khao and partly inside Sirinath National Park, is a laid back location promising true relaxation to its visitors. Located only 5 to 10 minutes drive from the airport, commercial development and accommodation is limited. Perfect for quiet quality time. The accommodation that is found here is of a high standard and includes the 5 star Indigo Pearl Resort

Bang Tao

Bang Tao offers a 6 kilometer (4 miles) stretch of lovely beach. It is close to the village of Cherng Talay where villagers are to this day making a living by fishing and rubber harvesting. The northern end of the beach is quiet with basically no development. Here you may very well feel you have it all to yourself. A few bars and restaurants can be found along the beach and on weekends a large market, 2 kilometers above the beach, offers some shopping opportunity. Bang Toa offers good choice in terms of accommodation including names like Allamanda Laguna Phuket, Best Western Premier, Dusit Thani Laguna, Sheraton Grande Laguna and Sunwing Resort and Spa.

Not as quiet and secluded as Mai Khao or even Nai Yang, but certainly not the buzz of Patong. Here you will mostly spend time on the beach, utilize resorts facilities and activities or rent a jeep to check out neighbouring beaches.

Nai Thon

Located between Bang Tao and Nai Yang, this is the ideal spot to get away from the crowds. Locals claim it to be the most beautiful beach on Phuket. During high season, November to April, it is great for swimming, relaxing at beach bar or dining with your feet in the sand. During low season, May to October, it gets really quiet and the sea quite rough at times. The Andaman White Beach Resort is a good choice for accommodation here.

Surin Beach

Aptly referred to as millionaires row, Surin is home to several top notch luxury hotels and resorts. Though a popular location, Surin is not a very busy area. It has its own town area, reminiscent of a little coastal village. The beach is beautiful and the sand a fine white powder. The high end accommodation on Surin has also given rise to some top notch restaurants and wine bars in the area. Should you wish to stay on Surin a little less expensive, check out the popular Manathai Resort. This is a stylish, small boutique resort hotel with direct access to the white sand of Surin Beach.

Kamala Beach

Located just north of the buzz of Patong, this quieter stretch of lovely beach has a relaxed feel to it and the bay in which it lies is well enclosed and protected. To the back and sides it is surrounded by forested hills and probably one of the most beautiful places on Phuket. Though it does not see hordes of tourists, those who come here do not stay anywhere else in Phuket on their next visit.

Kamala is home to names like the lovely Cape Sienna Hotel and Villas, Kamala Beach Hotel and Resort, Kamala Dreams and several others.

Karon Beach

Karon is located just south of the glittering lights and buzz of Patong. It is much quieter than Patong, offers a nice stretch of fine white sand and is great for swimming. Accommodation ranges from top notch to more budget friendly and everything in-between. A good all rounder. Hotels include names like the fabulous Movenpick Resort and Spa and Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort.

Kata Beach

White sands, crystal clear waters and hotels right on the beach. If you do not wish to have a road between your hotel and the beach, Kata is probably where you will find your accommodation. It is popular with families and offers great restaurants. Kata is lively but not raunchy and overly noisy. It is home to names like Mom Tri’s Boathouse, Mom Tri’s Villa Royale and Alpina Phuket Nalina Resort and Spa.

Nai Harn

A beautiful quiet little spot on the southern tip of Phuket. It only has a few hotels and is great for swimming November to April. The rest of the year care should be taken with strong under currents at times. Restaurants located just above the beach are a great opportunity to enjoy a sundowner while appreciating the view. Nai Harn includes names like the Mangosteen Resort. A luxury boutique resort.

Now the next question arises. When is the best time to go ?

High season in Phuket, when good weather with little rain and calm seas are experienced, is from mid November to end April / May. This is the busiest time in terms of tourism.

The best time to visit Phuket depend on personal preference and no bad time really exist. Unless you are here for some scuba diving and need calmer seas and clear underwater visibility, you can have a fabulous holiday any time of the year. Temperatures on Phuket average anything from 24 to 32 degrees Celsius and water temperature a steady 27 to 28 degrees all year round.

November to March is regarded by many as the best time to visit Phuket. Temperatures are a cooler 28 degrees Celsius and the lower humidity brought about by cool breezes also make things more comfortable. A low probability of rain exists during this time.

The hottest time in Phuket is April to end May, seeing temperatures as high as 36 degrees Celsius and a 27 degrees Celsius minimum. The heat is regularly interrupted by short thunder showers, bringing some relief from the high temperatures.

June to October is regarded a lower season in terms of tourism. The up-side is that accommodation is much cheaper than during peak season. Short and heavy bursts of rainfall and often rough seas are experienced during this time with plenty of sunshine between showers. Still a good time to visit with temperatures varying between 20 to 32 degrees Celsius.

When you’ve had your fill of the frenetic pace of Bangkok’s street markets, luxury malls and bustling walkways and crave the peace and tranquility of a beach paradise, Pattaya is the last place you should consider. If hoping from jet-ski to surf-board, partying until dawn and fountains of Mai-Tai are more your style, make a beeline to this tropical cove about 135 kilometers south of the capital.

Located in the Chonburi Province of peninsular Thailand, Pattaya rose to fame during the Vietnam War as the troops preferred furlough destination. Today, Pattaya boasts of being home to every Five Star Hotel Chain, Fast Food Franchise and entertainment option in the world.

It seems that in Thailand, most all roads lead to Pattaya, so getting there is never a problem. 2 hours from Bangkok by road, or half a day’s drive from Koh Samui, an impulse trip will serve you as well as a well-planned vacation.

Once there, the abilities to haggle and experiment are your best tools to explore the Bay. Start your day with a tour through the Underwater Aquarium of this Coral Island or have breakfast with the inhabitants of the Pattaya Crocodile Farm. Stop by endless lines of street-food stalls for a quick lunch where you can sample every imaginable meat, fruit and sea-creature, grilled on a stick. Spend a lazy afternoon by the pool or slice across the surf on jet-skis hired by the hour, or strap yourself to a power boat as you Para-sail the length of the cove over Hat Jomtien, Hat Wong Phrachan, Ko Lan, Ko Sak, Ko Phai and Pattaya beaches.

But make sure you conserve your energy for the night though, because that’s when Pattaya really comes alive. Much like the Vegas strip, the city takes on an entirely different avatar after sunset. Straw hats and roller-bladers make way for throbbing strobe lights, psychedelic discotheques, live bands, casinos, fine dining and gaming arcades where the lights stay on well after the sun comes up.

Open your mind to the possibilities that Pattaya has to offer and you might just find yourself returning often to this beach resort which switches from whimsical to exotic in the span of a heartbeat.

Bangkok Tour is a interesting city because in addition to the usual modern buildings of offices, hotels & shopping centers, there’s also about 400 exotic Thai temples that seem to stick out among the urban landscape. There’s Thai citizens on the streets dressed in modern business clothing as well as Buddhist monks in saffron robes. Yet this is what part of Thailand is. The traditional mixed in with the modern. In fact, it is the traditional attractions that make Thailand so magical. The temples are sights that five cannot see in the western world. They are like objects that popped out of an Asian fairy tale.

Like lots of other large Asian cities, Bangkok is congested with traffic, people & pollution. In fact, the air can be bad that there’s locals wearing surgical masks in the streets. With an average annual temperature of 28 degrees Celsius or 83 degrees Fahrenheit, it can be uncomfortable outside for some tourists, those from northern climates. Also beware that there will be people on the streets who will try to hustle tourists & direct them to their own businesses & tours. But unlike places in the Caribbean, Thais are polite & not aggressive people. For example, five times on arrival at the international airport, there will be people within the terminal including the ones at the booths who will be offering taxi transportation to your hotel. Although these are legit, they will charge a premium compared to the taxis waiting outside the terminal. There is a similar situation at the hotels. The taxis waiting right outside the main hotel entrances do seem to quote over those waiting on the side streets further down. The three-wheeled ‘tuk tuk’ vehicles also vary a lot so it may be wise to ask for quotes from a few drivers than taking the first five you see. The tuk tuks are a fun ride by the way so they ought to be experienced at least five times while in Bangkok. The city also has various public buses & river taxis which are long boats used on the river canal method. A lovely way to spend some time is to take a ride on five of these river taxis to cruise the canals which some refer to as the ‘Venice of the East’.

The Grand Palace is probably the most visited attraction in Bangkok. This complex is surrounded by walls built in 1783 & contains government offices, royal residences monuments & the Emerald Buddha Chapel. The Royal Chapel which contains the Emerald Buddha is the monarch’s private chapel. The Buddha itself is actually a five piece jade sitting on top of a golden altar. It is not a large Buddha but it is special. Apparently, they alter the Buddha’s clothing which is also made of gold on a seasonal basis. There’s numerous monuments on the grounds that are dedicated to past monarchs. Walls with large mythological scenes are displayed throughout. The buildings & monuments within the Grand Palace have some striking colors including golds & greens. Gold color is used a lot & the distinctively crooked Thai roofs on the buildings are detailed. Equally stunning are a quantity of the interiors of these buildings with their magnificent rooms & halls used for different ceremonies & events. A quantity of these halls have special royal altars.

For wildlife enthusiasts, there is the Pasteur Institute’s Snake Farm where poisonous snakes are fed every day & visitors can watch handlers milk cobras for their venom. There is also the world’s largest Crocodile Farm. The national sport of Thai kickboxing can be seen at five different stadiums in Bangkok. Both the Ratchadamnoen & Lumphini stadiums feature events throughout the week on different days. Thai theater & traditional dance are interesting to watch as cultural entertainment. These can be seen at theatres as well as a quantity of the top hotels in the city.

Five temple not to miss is Wat Pho which is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. It features a giant Buddha lying on its side. Even the soles of this Buddha’s feet have intricately detailed designs. Other lovely temples to see are Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) & Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple). The Wat Pho temple has traditional Thai massage services which are popular among tourists. Other temples such as Wat Mahathat & Wat Parinayok also have Thai massages available. The Royal Barges or long boats which are used during ceremonies on the river are also lovely to see. The details put in to decorating these boats are remarkable.

There’s some general guidelines of etiquette in Thailand that should be followed by all visitors. The Thai royal relatives is revered in this country so no outsider should ever make any even slightly negative remarks about the country’s monarchy. Temples should not be entered unless five is covered with long pants or skirts. Shorts & shoulderless tops are not allowed in temples. Footwear is always removed prior to entering any temple. Images & statues of Buddha, even postcards, are thought about sacred in Thailand so five should never climb on five or do anything that will show disrespect. Public displays of affection between men & women are also frowned on. Of coursework this appears to be a complete contradiction to Bangkok’s famous red light & adult entertainment districts such as Patpong. But this is yet another example of the contrast that is found in Thailand.

Bangkok has some nice shopping opportunities for jewelry, handicrafts & textiles including silks as well as cottons. As in other locations in Asia, vendors in the streets will expect some bargaining of prices where the retail stores have fixed prices. like in Hong Kong, Bangkok has lots of custom tailors who can make suits, shirts & dresses for clients within 24 hours. Some will even delivery the completed clothing to your hotel free.

The attractions in Bangkok warrant a few days stay in the city before heading out to other parts of Thailand where there is much less pollution & more pretty natural scenery. Bangkok has nice air connections with other Asian destinations as well so it can easily be fit in to a larger tour of Asia.
