Expert Tips

“Spend a day visiting Old Phuket Town. This fascinating historical town is often overlooked as it isn’t on the coast yet there are some great walking tours online to download and follow, and on the occasional rainy day it’s fun and easy place to explore.”

“Karon is a great little resort if you are seeking the perfect blend of action and relaxation. You’ll find loads of quirky restaurants including Mama Juin’s – a family-run local restaurant where the prices are as great as the food.”
