⚠️ Conseils de Voyage Essentiels Phuket
Use Bolt or Grab Instead of Tuk Tuks
Phuket's bright red mini-trucks ('Tuk-Tuks') are famous for extortionate prices. Always use ride-hailing apps like Grab or Bolt to ensure a fair price.
Take the Early Phi Phi Tour
If booking a speedboat tour to the famous Phi Phi Islands, pay extra for the 'Early Bird' departure (leaving around 6:00 AM). You will beat the thousands of other tourists to Maya Bay.
Be Careful of the Monkeys
Macaques are common around certain viewpoints and temples. Do not feed them, do not touch them, and keep your shiny objects/sunglasses hidden. They bite.
Southern Food is Very Spicy
Southern Thai food in Phuket is significantly spicier than food in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. If you want it mild, clearly say 'Mai Phet' (not spicy).
🛡️ Assurance Voyage Recommandée
Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
