In a nutshell
Utopia man, utopia
57 Reviews We booked our day trip to Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island through my lovely lady called Apple from South Smile, with a company called Phuket Panwa Canoe. This was probably the highlight of our trip (apart from some rather annoying people who were constantly late and rude and who I ended up...
77 Reviews We took a day trip to Phi Phi islands and Maya beach and loved it. We got to snorkel and stroll around the beaches. the speed boat was a bit crowded(all the ones we saw were), but nevertheless we had a very nice trip. The is plenty to look around and buy in Phi Phi. Prices maybe high but some of the...
88 Reviews I think that Patong beach and Ban Patong must be the same thing. Or not? Anyway, I'll post my Patong beach comments in Ban Patong page. And Patong was precious for us. With the monsoon, Kata beach was unsafe, so we came often to Patong, where only the dark green colour of the water and the many...
49 Reviews It was our beach, with the hotel well located by the sea, and… we met the monsoon. Impossible to swim. The 1st day an helicopter flying around announced us the death of a tourist in the neighbor Kata beach. We didn’t take risks, and only Tito and me entered the water, in a shallow area, but with...
59 Reviews Once we are all safely onboard the Sakai we are all introduced to Captain Noi, (he does all the hard work) and Ya (the worlds best cook). We all pick our positions on the boat and off we go, within minutes we are eating fruit and these yummy sweet little parcels wrapped in banana leaves (I forget...
33 Reviews Kok Chang Safari would have to be one of the best elephant trek's we have been on during all of our travels to Phuket. All the animals seem well cared for, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the setting is beautiful. There are bananas available at the center to feed the elephants while...
48 Reviews We have been to Fantasea 4 times now and that is enough. If friends are with us on holiday then they can go on their own. Anyway it is well worth going to Phuket Fantasea, it is a 140acre theme park, with loads of activities and entertainment, a festival village with carnivals, games,...
39 Reviews Its a very enjoyable and scenic drive south from Patong to Promthep Cape Lookout, which is the southern most tip of Phuket Island. Franks friend Peter, who has actually lived in Phuket for about 5 years, took us on a mini roadtrip around the island. We drove to Karon Viewpoint, Promthep Cape...
85 Reviews It was interesting to go throught the cave to see the rock formations. We got into the cave by a rubber float which seats 4 passengers together with one guide in front and a paddler behind. Next, we move onto sitting on bamboo rafts behing wading through the rest of the way. We were given miner...
4 Reviews and 312 Opinions Ocean Wing Suites (Villa Terracotta) Mom Tri’s Villa Royale now have a beautiful new area which is...
101 Reviews Visited Patong in April 2009 with girlfriend and 13 yo niece. Never had a problem with taking niece out to the nightlife areas at night, Bangla rd etc. Though we didn't take her to any of the go go bars.
19 Reviews We went into this show a bit dubious .... I mean after all it is essentially a lady/boy dress-up miming show, so you really cant have any high expectations! But ... we were both pleasantly surprised and impressed. The miming was second rate and the dancing was well ... Georgia could dance much...
58 Reviews My family (4 adults, 2 kids) just came back from Phuket. We hired Mr Po Him for 4 days. His rates are reasonable and he is extremely friendly, cheerful and helpful. We were staying at Marriott Courtyard Kamala and he had problems with the taxi company (taxi mafia) next to the hotel who prohibited...
29 Reviews The guy at the place I was staying at (Coconut Resort @ Nanai Rd) offered bike rental around Patong so i didn't even have to fish around for 'em. They had 2-3 bikes that can be rented at only 200 Baht (that's 20 RM for me) per day. Hell yeah I rode it all around Phuket, north south east west :P This...
26 Reviews Well, this happened to my friend during my last trip...(for ppl who think i dunno what i am talking abt it was 16th trip to pukhet), since it was his first time he got bedazzled by the relatively cheap prices and the wide array of goods, hes a watch freak he ended up going to this bloke who owns a...
24 Reviews Be sure to avoid the firm Siam Sea Canoe. They offer the typical tours Phi Phi, Raya, Coral Island, etc. You will find their fancy brochures in your hotel and at tours booking counters which often state "Quality Service" on the front cover. We had a very bad experience with Siam Sea Canoe during the...
37 Reviews As a local I should really be keeping this a secret but I don't think many people will visit my page, so I am considering this as a prize for those who do stop by and end up using this tip. http://www.knowphuket.com/Articles/20071027-secret-beaches.htm
11 Reviews probably not really off the beaten path, but well worth a look in. lots of exotic birds and other things to check out. one noticable difference to western zoos, is the abscence of any barrier cages. you can walk straight up to an enlosure and put your hands through the bars,( watch out for the...
38 Reviews In May'05, my wife and I took a daytrip scuba diving excursion from Phuket to Ko Racha Yai, a small island to the south. We used South Siam Divers, who offer a 2 dive package for only 1,900 Baht per person. The dive boat was comfortable and the facilities were adequate. Breakfast and lunch were...
26 Reviews Hi live in Phuket and can appreciate your feeling. Patong is a massive tourist trap, with higher prices, busy, dirty, and not the most spectacular beach. Great for a night out or for a group of young travellers but not the best beach location. If you go north of Patong you get some nice beaches like...
12 Reviews Personally, one of the best way to discover Phuket is to hire a car, in my case it was a little jeep, drive around the island and visit every popular beach. It is an interesting experience especially when Phuket is a hilly area and does pose a challenge when driving. I started from Patong, up to...
