What is the most unusual meal you have seen in Phuket?

Hi Guys, What should I do in Phuket?

  • I am going to Phuket and staying at Patong beach from the 25th November unto the 3rd December, from previous experience what should I do? I want to do quite a bit of shopping (I've been to Bali and seen most of the markets) I want to go to markets but at the same time actual shopping centers. My friends also say you can go watch kickboxing in local gyms? is that possible?

  • Answer:

    Hi!!!! Patong is a great place to shop, you have a really cool shopping centre called jungceylon, that has tonnes to do there and you have to see the water ship show while your there, not sure of the times but you can check when there. There are stalls and small markets everywhere selling all kinds, just remember to barter well, as they often charge 4x the price they want lol. Remember if they are not happy with a price and not going to make any money then they wont sell :p Nov/Dec time is the best time to visit, and the similan islands are open, one of the best places to visit in the world, you have no excuse not to go,..... You can get a day island hopping with lunch and drinks for 2000 bht p.p. it takes a while in the bus to get to the pier, but will leave you with unforgettable memories :) ben there everytime i went to thailand :P Also there is the usual... phi phi isalnd, krabi, ko lanta, coral island is good too, it has a great beach and tonnes of fish.... For the perfect phuket experience, try a night camping on bamboo island, there will proberly be no one else there other than the rangers and a few fisherman.... It's expensive from phuket, but barter.... and you will get a good deal :) Try a evening show at fantasea, it was ok but i thought it must be cruel for the elephants, and also the simon cabaret....was the 3rd time i was in phuket before i went, but really enjoyed it. Try a day trip white water rafting with the A.V. option, leaves you pretty tird, but good fun..... The fact is your options are limitless, and one time in phuket, will never be enough :p Enjoy!! i have many times :)

In Patong you can shop till you drop everywhere. Jungceylon is a hugh shopping center. Kick boxing classes/courses are found almost everywhere on Phuket. But apart from these activities I would also visit nearby islands to go snorkeling or scuba diving or visit the big Buddha on the top of the hills in Chalong. It's really impressing but go on a sunny,clear day in order to enjoy the great views.

All of the people that answered you as to Phuket being lame are correct.I know that they sound pessimistic but it is true,for all of us that live here in Thailand,we all understand the country especially those of us that travel alot here.Phuket is way over rated,too expensive,too touristy and just like Pattaya or Pat Pong but with a beach.Maybe 20 years ago it was good but not now.I know from 1st hand experience because when I first moved here I stayed in Patong for months and now I have no intention of ever going back.Krabi,yes,Phuket,no. I always say this and it is true. for me.Koh Chang is the best/most beautiful island in the country.It 2nd only in size to Phuket but is a 100x's better in every way shape and form other then the ocean is a tad bit clearer in Phuket but that is tiny compared to how much better Koh Chang is than Phuket.
