About PhuketTravel.com

An independent guide to Thailand’s biggest island, written for people who want to choose well rather than choose fast.

PhuketTravel.com exists to help you put a Phuket trip together: which beach suits you, how to get around, when the sea is safe, and which of the many tours on sale are worth your day.

What we cover

  • Sixteen guides to beaches, sights and day trips — from Patong to Mai Khao, the Old Town to Promthep Cape, Phi Phi to Khao Sok.
  • Getting to the island and around it, with honest advice on taxis, apps and scooters.
  • Seasons, sea safety, national park closures and fees.
  • Tours ranked on their merits and updated as ratings change.
  • Where to stay, area by area.

How we research

Seasons, park rules, transport and prices change, so we cross-check national park announcements, operator timetables and recent traveller reports, and we say so where something is uncertain. Tour ratings and prices are read from GetYourGuide’s partner feed; hotel scores from Trip.com. Where we give a figure it is a guide, not a guarantee — always confirm before you travel.

How the site is funded

We are a GetYourGuide affiliate partner and link to hotels on Trip.com. If you book through our links we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That income keeps the site free and free of pop-up advertising. It does not decide what we recommend; see our affiliate disclosure.
