I was in Phuket February 2020 ,phuket is paradise Island it's like marmarees city in Turkey,,thank you alina for all your wonderful useful videos,,

[@poshmasterpiece888]

Unfortunately, it was a very quiet time too. Many things have disappeared almost a hundred percent. I wish you happiness and experience the beauty in the peace of Phuket. But it is another kind of beauty that has never happened before. I can only hope that you will find happiness in the serenity and tranquility from all the international hikers. /......... I'm here in Hua Hin

Awesome video Alina! Love the way you pieced this one together, showcasing all the cool, vibrant places Phuket has to offer paired with a choice of music that compliments it all perfectly. Promthep Cape looks incredible!

[@lifeinasia4769]

Nice! I loved the place! Wish I could visit there sometime! Thailand is such a lovely country! Thank you for the tour of Phuket! :)

[@jimross7648]

Alina wanders through Phuket Old Town catching the known and the lesser known with stunning visuals and seamlessly includes great places to eat. A girls got to eat, and she has the ability to find great food and restaurants wherever she wanders.

[@johnsharplin]

Phuket City looks gorgeous! Who knew they would have world class pancakes, that's a nice surprise.

[@briannabee812]

I am very envious of you Alina! I have only heard nice things of Thailand from people who have actually been there and your channel is one of these.

[@nontawat5483]

If you are going to travel to the Thai sea, you must come before Songkran.The sea is very beautiful, the waves and the wind are calm, but if you want to visit the waterfall, you can travel during this time or want to travel to the mountains, it must be at the end of the year, it will be very beautiful 😊

[@zhalvia]

The restaurant with the big lobster on the wall (named Tu Kub Khao) is one of the best traditional Southern Thai cuisine in Thailand. They also has been listed on Michelin Guide, Must try Phuket fish balls !!! (Blue Elephant is also very good) The one with papaya salad is kind of local Phuket seaweed

[@AlinaMcleod]

Interesting! Good to know, thank you!

Totally agree hey, Greetings to u and Alina

[@palmermarsh8275]

Old Town Phuket is one of your best videos; great job as it gives a perspective of Phuket I have not yet seen. You are very good at that. You being part Baltic, you will explore there. Do not overlook Finnland as the SamI or Lapp Culture extends to the south on the Baltic Coast. Hundreds of tourist flock to Tallin by the hour by plane from Norway, and Sweden, as well as by ferry from Finnland . The Baltics are your heritage and they will blow your mind. Happy trails!

[@boeasy3015]

Another great post Alina... that sunset at the end though ...WOW. 🙏

[@jasbeergill3556]

Love the information you provide in your videos.

[@jmurray212]

I feel better after this normal format video. Colorful street and shop edits, sightseeing drive aboat, and dining. Your live walk the other day was sad; to see so much clearly shut down for extended time. Great hat btw.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you! Yes, it really ranges from district to district here in Phuket. Unfortunately a large majority is empty compared to usual but the places where more locals live is wonderful.

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! Thanks for the enjoyable visit to it old-town Phuket! Well-crafted video with interesting content! Because I am watching at late morning, your fine-dining experience has encouraged me to have lunch at my favorite Thai restaurant in Omaha. Thanks for the dining temptation, Alina!!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Wonderful, enjoy!

[@huboftruthbymichael1921]

Great tour, Alina! I loved your music choices especially the horns. I play the saxophone and I probably replayed that part 5 times. LOL!! I noticed the colorful buildings and surrounding area before you even mentioned it. Looked a little more action going on there and that was encouraging also. You did a wonderful showing of your talent in keeping us interested especially the sharing of your wonderful dinner. As you know, I always love that part of any video's you share with us. Be safe and never lose your smile. Cheers!!!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks, Michael! Much more action going on in Phuket Town!

[@rahulrasam]

Amazing video! Really enjoyed the cinematography and music in this one. Sadly missed out on visiting Phuket during my last trip to Thailand so will definitely be sure to check out these attractions on my next one👍🏼

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks, Rahul! Yes, next time definitely make a visit here because it's a huge island with a lot to see!

the green things on top of the papaya salad are sea grapes I believe.

[@roywalker4K]

Expect to see a lot of Sino-Portuguese style shophouses on each side of the streets, small and colourful shops, some excellent local Thai restaurants, and lately a lot of young coffee shops. Walking around town will also be a chance for you to visit both Thai temples and colourful Chinese shrines, as well as a couple of Museums and some beautiful old mansions.

[@jlcgu11]

My first visit to Phuket was in the early 1990s. Not so well-known back then. Liked it then and still do (minus the hoardes).

Your video shows us a good deal of Phuket tourists miss. There’s a good deal more to life in a foreign country than the tourist traps. I hope people will be inspired to get out and see the unknown Phuket you saw for themselves. Looking forward to your next adventure!

On the top of papaya salad , they put “grapes seaweed “. ( normally we don’t put it )

[@tripreporter6096]

Swasdi Alina, real good work again. Such a shame to see Phuket with less, close to no people around. Hope they will find a way finally to re-open the island. Well done, looking for more. Stay safe and healthy, take care, always.

[@mrraiarj]

Waw ..Phuket old town ... in term of "Phuket" , in my imagine , they were only sun, sand, sea, beach , sea food , scuba . Thanks for showed to me that part of the city. Also just notice you're looking good in a light blue shirt , white short pants and a Panama hat.

[@johnmumford5619]

I’m giving this video a WOW factor of 10! A must see for anyone wanting to travel there. Absolutely amazing! I’m curious you hired a driver for the day do they have Lyft and or Uber there and how much? Also curious about merchandise prices like your nice hat. The Blue Elephant and the food looked amazing! I couldn’t stop drooling over my plain Cheerios cereal. Thanks for the tour I loved it!

[@AlinaMcleod]

haha glad you enjoyed it! They have an app called Grab which is basically the same as Uber, but Phuket is kind of an anomaly for expensive taxis (in comparison to anywhere else in Thailand, even Bangkok). I've found that the prices on Grab are even more than calling a registered taxi through my hotel. A half hour ride will usually cost about 400-500 baht ($15 USD give or take). I hired a driver for a 6hr tour and it was only 1200 baht ($40 USD) but that's because we are making more of a day of it. The cheapest way to get around is to get your own scooter or wave down scooter 'taxi's' if you don't have luggage. With them you would just negotiate a fare. As for my hat, $5 USD at a market in Bangkok!

Hey Alina, I’m pretty certain that mural at 3:25 is by famous Thai street artist Alex Face. You should try to contact him for an interview...you’ll see his work all over Thailand. He’s great!

[@jshous]

I bet a cooking class would be interesting. That restaurant was worth a visit.

[@AlinaMcleod]

It sure is! Would be cool to learn a recipe that's far out from what I usually cook.

[@proevosham4923]

Outstanding meal, wow! Worth every penny I would say, different class food.

[@tomkrebs5959]

Good sunset footage at the end! Well, I can't imagine a worse start to the video: with tourist traffic waaaaaaaay down, along comes one dressed like 100% tourist, but she's walking and talking into a camera = won't be buying anything from the local merchants. Could just imagine the looks on the merchants' faces...

It's a great video and well made video, but everywhere is just totally DEAD. (it's the same even here in Bangkok) I was thinking to fly to Phuket or Krabi, but I read there is mandatory PCR testing at the airport on arrival, I don't want that. (imagine being asymptomatic (like most people are) and be forced spending your holiday at a hospital instead of on a beach? - No thanks!) Thanks for the update, and please keep posting!!! ^^ Hi from Bangkok... Thomas
