Remembering the information from past years that we gleaned about Phuket from various sources, my hair stands on end. One gets the impression that those people who talk about Phuket have been to some other island and are not writing about it. Accidentally stumbling upon our answers in old comments, now I laugh that we, too, were confident in something that actually wasn’t there.

“Everything is expensive in Phuket! Phuket is the most expensive resort in Thailand!” - Is it really?

Scrolling through some of our comments in old articles, you may come across warnings against traveling to Phuket. We kept hearing that Phuket is very expensive and warned readers about this. “You live in Bangkok or Pattaya, so enjoy the prices. Everything in Phuket is incredibly expensive”...


Life in Phuket can only be afforded by those who have at least one oil rig

It was precisely by trusting the opinions of others that we did not even consider Phuket for ourselves in the near future. Even for a month. Not to mention coming here to live. After all, Phuket, according to “eyewitnesses”, would simply suck our budget completely and we would remain poor and hungry. Of course, I’m exaggerating, but at that time everything regarding Phuket was perceived that way.

Our dear readers, Phuket is not expensive! I want everyone to know about this.

If you see on any resource that Phuket is expensive, then you can safely close the page and stop reading further. Because either the author of the article was only on vacation in Phuket for 10 days and could not really understand anything about the pricing policy of the island, or it is simply not beneficial for the person for people to know the truth about prices in Phuket. Another explanation is that he simply, like us before, succumbed to generally accepted opinions.

What are the real prices in Phuket? Actual information

Property rental prices

Normal prices in the center of the island, expensive near the sea. Take off nice apartment on long term, in a new condominium with European-quality renovation, a swimming pool and gym possible from 12 thousand baht.


The only caveat is that the apartment will be far from the sea. Phuket Town, Kathu or Chalong areas

The peculiarity of Phuket is that all inexpensive housing is located far from the sea. Without any problems, you can rent an apartment in a cool condominium for 12 thousand baht, but you can get to the sea by bus or bike. And if, for example, you fly to Pattaya even in October, then renting a modern apartment near the beach for just a month for 15 thousand baht is quite feasible, but in Phuket this is impossible!


We found an inexpensive new condo, even in the off-season, in Patong for 16 thousand baht, subject to renting the apartment for 6 months

It is worth taking into account that although prices in the so-called off-season in Phuket fall, they still remain higher than in Pattaya. Prices are significantly reduced for hotels and guesthouses. But apartments close to the beach remain almost as expensive as in the season. If you arrive at the beginning high season, in early November, then you can only rent a good apartment in the center of the island, far from all the beaches.

Alternatively, you can rent a house. But only if you have your own transport. There is a large selection of houses and town houses here. On average, a town house with modern furnishings will cost 15-18 thousand baht at long term rental. More or less decent, simpler houses cost 10-12 thousand baht per month. You can also find very simple tie-style houses for 5-6 thousand baht.

I hope the situation with housing rental prices in Phuket has now become clearer. There are tons of condos and houses here. The choice is great. House prices are normal, but apartment prices are high in any season along the entire beach strip of the island.

Prices for food in stores / cafes / markets

How many times have we been told that food in Phuket will be more expensive than in other cities in Thailand. Complete nonsense! In stores, all prices are exactly the same as in Pattaya and even in Bangkok. Accurate to the penny. For example, a 2-liter canister of milk costs 91.75 baht in Tesco in Bangkok, the same in Phuket in Tesco, Big C, Tops and Seven.


Prices in stores are the same as throughout Thailand

Prices in shopping centers, such as , are no different.

Prices in food courts are cheap. Two people can eat for 80-150 baht. Most dishes cost 40-80 baht. What are food courts we tell you.

You can’t help but imagine a piece of paradise.

That's what Thailand is! Therefore, some people are perplexed when they are brought to Pattaya.

Where is the promised tropical paradise? And he's in Phuket!


Laem Singh Beach

There are many excursions in Phuket. And besides a large number of sea excursions, here you will see temples with Buddhas in all poses, caves, waterfalls, go to the zoo, to the bird park, to the orchid garden.

From October to December the waves can be both small and large, sometimes you can swim, and rain is also not uncommon.

IN winter time year, from mid-November to the end of March, the weather is ideal. Temperature +30C +33C.

Cost schedule for tours to Phuket

conclusions

This is the truth about Phuket. We really hope that we have dispelled some of your fears, doubts and misconceptions about prices, transport, weather and excursions on our favorite island of Thailand. True, for us Phuket is still perceived more as a huge metropolis, and not as tropical Paradise Island. Perhaps due to the fact that we live in Phuket Town, and if we rented a house somewhere in Rawai, the impressions would be different.


Phuket is like a mini Bangkok, only with beaches and islands nearby

All the advantages of being in Phuket not only play into the hands of tourists, but also into the hands of us, long-livers. After all, life in beauty, in nature, with beautiful beaches, in civilization and with normal Thai prices is great.

It's time to stop loading you with so much information, but the flow of thoughts about Phuket does not allow me to stop. And in addition to the above, I would also like to add that the island has a convenient location.

Phuket location

Previously, I was sure that only Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin had a favorable location. But I was wrong. From Phuket you can visit a large number of islands, resorts and neighboring provinces. Just 2.5 hours by minibus and you are already in Krabi. At least ride every weekend. You won’t be able to afford this from BKK.

Khao Lak with long beaches and national parks.

If you want something exotic and colorful - here's Burma right in front of your nose. All you have to do is book a tour and they will take you there. Or take the bus yourself and get to this country.

Phuket is the closest route to Malaysia. You can get to our favorite island by ferry or by bus. You can also get to Penang.

Well, that’s it, it’s time to wrap up, otherwise we can tell you so much more about Phuket that you will buy a ticket today and fly here tomorrow to relax or live

That's probably all for today! If you have something to add or disagree with something, write in the comments. Thank you all for your attention!

Phuket is amazing. Despite the fact that it is considered one of the most respectable resorts Thailand, where families with children rush to vacation, “ping-pong games” from go-go girls are practiced here no less often than in the “mecca of debauchery” Pattaya. The main thing on this picturesque island is to find a place for yourself, otherwise there is a risk of never falling in love with this country. For example, Patong is suitable for revelers and revelers; people come here not so much for swimming (the beaches are so-so), but for entertainment, sometimes of an overtly sexual nature. A completely different picture on Kamala beach is an exceptional idyll of nature and man, where everyone tired of the noise and bustle finds rest and peace. We can recommend Karon Beach to actively minded vacationers, and young people in general: here the parties are on a high level, and you can master surfing. In general, there are many beaches in Phuket, and each has its own character, the best are on the west coast. Ideally, you need to rent a scooter and visit everywhere in person to form your own opinion. The capital is Phuket city.

Transport Phuket

Phuket is a large and relief island. It is good to move around on foot within the confines of your hotel and the nearest beach with restaurants and massage parlors. If you want to get to know the nature and culture of the province better, then you can’t do without transport. You can learn more about all the ways to get around the island on the “Transport in Phuket” page.

Communications and Wi-Fi

The demand for Phuket has a positive effect on the local infrastructure and services. There are practically no problems with communication or Internet access on the island; the network is lost only in mountainous areas and on remote islands. Moreover, we advise you to purchase a local SIM card immediately upon arrival; they are distributed to tourists arriving at the resort by representatives of the largest Thai telecom operators. It's easy to understand, convenient and inexpensive to use.

Beaches of Phuket

Historically, when speaking about the beaches of Phuket, visitors mean certain areas of the island. From the point of view of geography and toponymy, this is not always and not entirely correct. But it’s understandable.

It’s easier to explain to new friends on a sea excursion that you live in Surin, and not in the Cheng Tha Le area of ​​the Tha Lang district. And it’s better for a taxi driver to give a clear and intelligible beach-oriented address, rather than try to reproduce authentic names of streets and districts in Thai, which no Thai will understand. Otherwise, he will smile, nod and take you to the other end of the island. We have collected all the most popular beaches of the resort on one page - read, choose and decide on your future location: “Districts of Phuket”.

Diving in Phuket

Phuket is a real stronghold of diving in Thailand. Dozens of schools, dive centers, specialized shops and rental points are scattered along the coast of the island; the water area of ​​the resort town and nearby areas are full of sites for divers of various levels - from professionals to completely green beginners. Here you can get initial training and discover incredible world underwater wonders, upgrade your specialization and increase your level, or go on a multi-day safari tour of the Andaman Sea. Discover "Diving in Phuket"!

Phuket Hotels

Phuket is democratic. Don't believe those who call it exclusively expensive resort. There are always hotels here to suit every taste and income: a free villa with a luxurious garden, a private pool and sea views, a good three-star hotel or a guesthouse with a bed and a window for 350 THB on the funniest street of the island. It is important to understand not only how much you will have to part with when renting a hotel for your vacation, but also where to stay in Phuket.

What to bring

Phuket is one of those mystical places, where you need to go with a huge suitcase, even if it contains swimsuits, a hat, flip-flops, shorts and several light T-shirts. After all, a few days before the return trip you will have to rack your brains over the question of what to refuse, what to eat on the spot, and what to try to take with you. Spices, spices, souvenirs, art objects, healing pills and magic oils - we will try to answer eternal question“What to bring from Phuket.”

What to try

Cafes and restaurants in Phuket

The continuous flow of tourists from all over the world has done its job - now it’s easier than ever to find a cafe or restaurant with native and familiar Russian (Italian, Japanese, European grill - choose the one you need) cuisine on the menu. But go to exotic country and there are dumplings with borscht - a real bad manners. After all, here a whole world of new, unknown and tasty is open to the gourmet traveler. You just need to decide where to eat in Phuket.
