Phuket Trip - Need Your Advice
My wife and I are planning a 10-day vacation in Phuket, Thailand this
winter to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary, and would be obliged if you could share your experiences on the following: 1. This is our first trip to Thailand. Is Phuket overcrowded in December? We are looking for a calm and quiet beach area. Any recommendations? 2. Can anyone without experience of snorkeling/diving try their hand at it? 3. Is a trip to the PhiPhi islands worth it? What are the costs involved and does one need to book the trip in advance? 4. Are budget accommodations available in Phuket during December, since we plan to use the hotel only for keeping our luggage and be out most of the time )? How soon does one need to book in advance? 5. How are the distances in Phuket? Any places where one hire a motorbike and zoom around town (as in, say Goa, India)? 6. Does Phuket have a Disneyland-ish kind of place? We've heard about Phuket Fantasea? Any good? Any other recommendations on fun things to do? Thanks in advance! ) Pipson and Uma. |

We are looking for a calm and quiet beach area. Any recommendations? If you want somewhere really calm and quiet, consider Ko Chang. 2. Can anyone without experience of snorkeling/diving try their hand at it? Snorkeling you can do right away. You need a certification to dive. Most places that offer diving will also offer a training course that gets you that certification, but it takes a few days. If you want to try diving, you might try to get certified before you leave so you wouldn't have to spend half your trip in dive training. |
