Phuket

Pros: Fantastic show, wonderful location
Cons: Deplorable food.

We went to Phuket Fanta-Sea in spite of the fact that our trusty tour arranger said everyone enjoyed it. Normally those types of things I avoid. I am not everyone. However, I do love Disney World and the glossy brochure won me over. The brochure promised ...

Pros: Amazing people, gorgeous scenery, fascinating culture, incredibly cheap.
Cons: Other end of the world.

I’ve written this review as more of a story of our trip, with a focus on Phuket. It’s not a traditional review of here’s what’s where, because I think this makes for a better read and is more informative. I’ve tried to provide ...

Pros: Very cheap
Cons: none

Just came back from a 10 day trip to Thailand. It was my 4th visit to Phuket and I must say that my feelings have not changed about the place. I arrived in Phuket in the late evening so did not get to do much that evening. It was a bit warm and muggy,...

Pros: Cheap, friendly people, nice and warm weather, great snorkling
Cons: Many tourists, people trying to sell you stuff all the time, bight sun

Pros: Great value for money, friendly people, lots to see, excellent shopping.

Pros: Really friendly people, Great resorts, Inexpensive.
Cons: Hawkers bothering you constantly. Long trip for Americans.

Pros: Cheap shopping and eating, plenty to keep you occupied.
Cons: WOW it gets far too hot in summer!

Pros: Beaches, People, Food, Weather, Beach sports and Diving

Phuket (pronounced Pu-Ket) is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. When I first arrived there, it was hard to believe that I was still in the same country that has one of the most densely polluted capitals in the world, and what it reminded me of was...

Pros: Lots of variety, good food, beautiful scenery
Cons: Very expensive in parts, busy

I live in Krabi near Phuket, and travel to Phuket for work regularly. Nowadays Phuket is very much an international tourism island. For a stronger sense of traditional Thai life, you will probably need to leave Phuket and travel to nearby provinces such...

Cons: not for the easily offended; sunken toilets a challenge

My husband and I went to Phuket with another couple in summer '99 and had a blast. We found the island to be a perfect mixture of culture, nightlife, shopping and the outdoors.
