Phuket Travel Information

By Paula Parker

Our Phuket travel Information page is about passing on all our travel tips so that you can plan your own holiday in Phuket.

From the very first time we visited Phuket over 30 years ago, we knew it was special.

Over the years, we have always recommended Phuket to our friends as a top holiday destination, and passed on as much information as possible. Now we are sharing our travel tips through our website.

When we first started travelling overseas, we didn't really have many options and had to use travel agents to arrange our holiday packages.

Yes, it was quick and easy; all you had to do was pick the location and your accommodation, and they would assist with flights, transfers, and tours.

These days, when planning our holidays, we review what the travel companies have on offer, do our own research, compare prices and book all of our holidays online.

Below is a list of information and travel tips that may assist you in planning your own holiday vacation in Phuket or to other destinations in Thailand.

Phuket Travel Information and Travel Tips

Just follow the links below for more Phuket travel information and our handy travel tips.

The very first thing you need to do before anything else is to read our information about Thailand's new entry requirements.

When travelling to Thailand, it is always good to check the latest visa requirements and always make sure that you have at least 6 months left on your passport from the time of your departure from Thailand; this will save any hassles at the airports.

It is also good practice to get the latest vaccination information for a worry-free vacation.

We always recommend that you sign up for the latest government travel alerts.

Smart Traveller is excellent for Australian travellers; the service is free and provides you with the latest updates, travel advice and news straight to your email. You can also choose to receive an SMS for any critical alerts. Before heading overseas, make sure you subscribe to receive updates.

Many travellers arrive in Thailand through Phuket Airport.

These days there are many flights to Phuket, all of which are very affordable; you can choose between full service carriers or find cheap flights with a range of budget airlines.

We also have information about getting around Phuket, limousine hire and airport transfers.

Check the weather before you book your flights and accommodation to see when the best time is to take a holiday in Phuket.

And don't forget to have a look at our pages on what to pack, with lots of information on packing tips and travelling with children as well as exchanging money and how to save on Travel Insurance.
