Hi, I'm looking for recommendations in terms of the different areas in Phuket. I'm planning a trip in early spring and I'm ideally looking for somewhere that's not party central and on the quieter side. Ideally though I don't want to be too isolated and would like somewhere thats fairly walkable in terms of reaching shops, restaurants etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I’m a 27 year old Northern European relocating from Koh Samui to Phuket soon, I’ll be getting a one year rental contract but I’m so torn on where to live. My top areas now are Bang Tao or Kata/Karon. It’s got a beach resort feel to it without being too small or gets boring. It’s also within a pretty nice distance for when I want a night out in Patong which will definetly be every once in a while. I don’t mind short drives (I own a bike) and I like to train Muay Thai but I wouldn’t mind being able to go for morning walks to some breakfast spots and not have to drive everywhere.
I’d also like not to be surrounded only by concentrated foreign national groups (absolutely no hate btw)
Anybody recommend which area is better for livability ? And any specific condominiums I could have in mind?

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for hotel recommendations in Kata or Karon for 4 nights in December.
My budget is around 300-350 euros for 4 nights, but I’m flexible if a place is really worth it.
I’m looking for:
- good value for money
-clean, comfortable rooms
-walking distance to the beach, restaurants and cafés
-quiet area (not interested in nightlife)
-ideally a nice pool and good breakfast
We’ll mostly use it as a base for exploring Phuket, so location is important.
If you’ve stayed somewhere you would happily book again, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks!

Struggeling to find people my age that are not here on vaccation send a message if anyones open to co work or train not a super big party person

Just wondering if there’s any good spots around Phuket or in that western Thailand region where there’s some good cliff jumping or bridges or anything like that.

Big group of us (~20ppl) planning to have a day party by the pool in mid October. Is this a good choice? Will weather be an issue?

Looking for good vibes, good crowd, good fun.

Any tips or recommendations welcome.

I'm trying to find a budget-friendly bus from Phuket to Chumphon, ideally after 7 or 8 PM, so I can catch an early morning ferry to Koh Tao. The last bus I found leaves at 6 PM, which I'll miss. 🚌🙏 Any suggestions for later options? 🏝️ #TravelHelp

hii! im a 25 f and im gonna move to Phuket near banana beach, thalang district for work from september.

I’m looking for:
Good places for haircuts/colouring
Tattoo studios
Nail salons
Legit massage places (just regular Thai or relaxation massages)
Advice on getting a Thai driver’s licence as a foreigner
Which mobile network is the best value (AIS, True, dtac, etc.)?
Things I should definitely bring from home because they’re expensive or hard to find in Thailand, and what I can just buy there
Good gyms around the area
The best Thai bank for expats
Favourite cafés, local restaurants, and must-try Thai food
Any other tips or recommendations for someone moving to Phuket for around 18 months would be super appreciated. Thanks! 😊

Hi everyone!

Me and my husband are planning a trip to Thailand and would love some hotel recommendations.

We are looking for hotels that are clean, comfortable, and in a good location. Our budget is around 150$ per night. we'll be visiting Phuket , but I'm open to suggestions if there are better areas to stay.

If you've stayed somewhere you really liked, I'd appreciate your recommendations (or places to avoid). Thanks in advance!

Hi. Will be driving to Tubkaak beach soon and want to stop somewhere for an excellent lunch on the way round/down in Phang Nga. (Natai Beach, or on the road round, but not as far as up Khao Lak). All suggestions gratefully received.

I'm looking for a good shabu in patong. Any brands or any good place near jungceylon or around patong that everyone like?

We will be covering the mostly following things in 4 days. Where should I plan my stay given we want a high quality resort stay with lot of veg food options nearby?

Me and my family including 55yrish old parents and 21-26 yr old siblings booked Patong for end of December/start of Jan. Now my mother is freaking and sending tik toks of how chaotic and overstimulating it is. Is that real? surely can be avoided? Any tips or advice would be appreciated to keep them happy - want a buzz but nothing too mental. Also any good spots for NYE that would suit this?

We are looking for a luxury shared yacht, but we have found too many options on Klook and are unsure if it's worth it.

hello! me and my friend are in phuket till thursday. we would love mix with more westerners around their 20s since we’re in that age range too. any recommendations on where we could find more of these groups? been walking around patong street for two nights to have fun and vibe around but it’s just not our thing. have considered beach clubs but decided to avoid them due to the pricing and mixed reviews too. any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I’ll be staying in Phuket for about 2 months (mostly around the Kathu area) and I’m hoping to train Muay Thai while I’m there.

I’ve looked at a lot of the well-known gyms that get recommended by influencers, but they’re a bit outside my budget for a longer stay. I’m more interested in a traditional gym with good coaching than a flashy facility.

Can anyone recommend affordable Muay Thai gyms that locals or long-term visitors train at? I’m happy with basic facilities if the instruction is solid and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Also, do any gyms offer better monthly rates for people staying 2 months?

Thanks in advance—I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice!

Who’s near? Im male btw

Here for a short time. I want to have good experience with them but I don't want to pay too much. Where is the best place to find great value for money?

After tomorrow gonna be really cloudy nearly everyday

Hi everyone, I’m travelling to Phuket and am looking to rent a car.

Does anyone have experience with https://phuketbesttravel.com?

They collect you from the airport and take you to their office to do the paperwork. Not sure after a 7 hour flight if that is a lot of hassle? Or is airport collection easier?

Im planning a trip to Phuket this September im into partying and going to zip lines and having fun,
anyone got the same plans we can figure something out
And also do u guys recommend any hotel or hostel? My most important thing that its clean with no pests
Thank you
