PHUKET, THAILAND (2023) | 10 BEST Things To Do In & Around Phuket

[@rossb9984587]

I went Phucket last year, and I thought it was just going to be a place to chill by the beach with some cool nightlife, a nice break between Chang Mai and Bangkok, but I was surprised how pretty the island was. The Old Town was lovely and Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha were really cool.

[@antzw]

Slick video guys

[@vigneshtad6048]

One of the best travel video i have seen without too many filmy over exaggeration, overhyping dumb locations and praising all the places they go as a best and must try this is simple and great thank you for all the recommendations

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for the positive feedback! 😊🙌

[@InvictusNewsService]

Thanks guys! informative video! Great presentation!

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

Phuket is one of my and my sister's favorite place of Thailand. I first visited Thailand in May 2018 for 2 weeks.

Very well presented with helpful tips! I appreciate that you included dress code/etiquette for temple visits. Thanks.

[@Mikestruckingvlogs]

Thank you for your sharing of information looking at heading there very soon

[@tieroneasset678]

One thing to avoid in Phuket is rent an e-foil hydrofoil. It's the latest scam here. The renter will invariably claim you damaged it and demand 60000+ baht in damages! Total scam.

[@jacintagamble-brunson1483]

Thanks for the info

[@AliAA-e4r]

thank you so much. it was very helpful for me to visit phuket for the first time.

[@worldwildhearts]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@km-rc5ue]

wow, such an amazing video! Your cinematography/editing/creative skills are unbelievable! And I had no idea Phuket was so clean and modern looking. I did hear it's crowded and busy... Koh Samui must be one of those 'tranquil' places you mentioned. It was a lot more primitive.

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks! Yes Koh Samui is more relaxed! Phuket might be the busiest of all islands we visited in Thailand. But it’s also the biggest

[@kreepykrawly8866]

Phuket makes you really appreciate Australia's beaches

your video is exactly how a travel guide must be... me and family are going in february...do you suggest we stay in Phuket and Phiphi island or just Phuket as a headquartes? Thank you guys!!!!

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks!! Hmm I think you should try to stay in both if you can. Phi Phi Don is where you stay and explore Maya Bay from. It's still pretty far from Phuket, even though it's often offered as a day trip. We loved the vibe of Phi Phi Don as it's very tiny and has the most stunning scenery. :)

[@bfhwhataboutthecavesdude6162]

excellent and informative video. don't miss it new visitors to Phuket !! ..because you will get a very good , well-rounded view of Phuket rather than just visiting Patong Beach and Bangla Road , which are extremely commercialized and will not provide a complete picture . Of course the whole island is pretty much geared for tourists but this video certainly helps.

[@worldwildhearts]

Yes there's so much else to do besides Patong!

[@leem3255]

I hiked from Patong beach to Big Buddha. Google maps said it would be 2 hours which didn’t seem so bad, it was 4 and a half in the end 😅

[@amandatang6062]

Hi, thanks for the video! Would you mind sharing how much the fine was and what you were fined for? We're going to Phuket this week and renting a scooter for the first time!

[@worldwildhearts]

around 30 USD - once you pay, they'll give you a ticket that allows you to drive for another 3 days without getting another fine (in case the police stops you). We didn't have an international driving license at that time. You're license also should allow you to drive a scooter. In many countries, a car driving license doesn't prove that. Just be very very careful in Phuket when driving. It was probably the most dangerous place we drove in Thailand and we saw quite some accidents.

[@JetskiPhuket]

Sounds good, but I think to rent a jetski safari with us for exploring the small quiet islands of north east Phuket with an new seadoo jetski from 2023 is an amazing experience too

[@worldwildhearts]

We can imagine!

In one day you can cover 3-4 islands

[@nadimdhurowa7672]

[@miriamramstudio3982]

Great video. Amazing list of links and resources. Thank you so much. Any advises about renting scooters (weekly, daily, easy, expensive)? 👍

[@worldwildhearts]

thanks! It's easy and cheap to rent a scooter (maybe 5$ per day), but just be very careful with the traffic on the road! And make sure to bring your international driving license if you have one... the police will ask for it if they stop you

@worldwideheart : quick question , how long were you in Phuket and then in Bangkok (basically want to understand how long did it take for you to cover the ppaces you showed in the video) I saw both of your videos and i am planning a trip to Bangkok and Phuket. Hence the question. And thank you for these wonderful videos. They are really helpful for the people planning their first trip ❤

[@worldwildhearts]

We spent about 5 days in each!

[@iramz1984]

Hi I have a question about the toilets in Phuket. Is there a separate or built-in washing hose (hand held bidet) inside (or beside ) the toilet bowl ?? Similar to what we see in Bali toilets

[@DiaryOfMuhib]

Love your videos! Short and informative. Btw, can you tell me about their drone policies? Not just Phuket, but Phi Phi and Krabi as well. Did you face any issues while flying drones?

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for watching! It’s not allowed to fly the drone in any national park. The famous Maya bay at Phi Phi is for example not allowed. Phuket and Krabi allow to fly in most places, but definitely do some more research before going. Attractions where it’s not allowed usually will have a sign… like temples and religious / historical places

If you were to choose between the two.... Phuket or Krabi?

[@earthtrekker1]

Very well made video 👌 I was in Thailand for 3 months in 2008, koh Leipe didn't even have roads or mopeds back then, and the viking resort on koh phi phi Don was just starting their amazing tree houses, looks so busy now, my wife and I are going back there in October next year, but we are staying in kamala beach up from karon beach, thanks for uploading such a great video guys 😁

[@worldwildhearts]

I want to go quite Thailand beach, so Yan Nui or Freedom Beach.

[@atlant2566]

So where do you guys stay for night resorts? And also how do you plan those just travel yourself on scooters or there is packages you can buy. Its hard to decide how to all figure it all out. Planing to visit with my wife but we always went to cancun so this one is different animal.

[@worldwildhearts]

We usually book our hotels on the go. Booking has lots of options in Thailand. We sometimes rent a scooter to visit places, sometimes take a taxi around. The Grab App is very convenient, just like Uber and very cheap in Thailand. So it’s the easiest and safest way to get around. Be careful when renting a scooter, there are many accidents 🙃 there are also lots of tour agents in every town that can book a tour for you. Or some tours you can prebook online!

[@atlant2566]

@@worldwildhearts just came back from thiland i would not ride personally a scooter in actual phuket way too crazy but we were on small island and it was great no traffic slow and yes i actually used bolt instead way cheaper than grab.

[@km-rc5ue]

I would add... whenever driving in Asia anywhere... follow the rules but expect most others won't. Don't be surprised to see a vehicle traveling the wrong way on a one way, or on sidewalks, or just randomly pull in front of you. Getting cut off is pretty normal, and the general 'unwritten' rule is that the larger vehicle has the right away and will just expect you to yield. It's super scary. That being said, Koh Samui was an island more populated by expat Europeans (mostly Germans) that actual Thai people... and I guess Phuket might be similar? In fact the best/most authentic German food outside of Germany I found was Koh Samui.

[@worldwildhearts]

Agreed with the “road rules” 😅 The south of Thailand has many expats indeed. For a more authentic Thai experience, central and northern Thailand are better!

[@darinajawie1171]

Did you apply for the drone permit before flying it there? I’m planning to come to phuket this march but i heard application for permit takes so much time

[@vrabierobert5031]

i did it the other way round with The Big Buddha and Kata beach.. climb down to the beach and it still was a sweaty trip 😅

That’s probably a better idea giving the extreme humidity and heat 🤣

[@teddybean9948]

We have an one year old. Which hotels would you recommend that have all the amenities for mother and children? 5-star hotel is overkill.

[@worldwildhearts]

I would take a look at the quieter areas of Phuket, like Kata Beach, Karon Beach, Kamala Beach, Nai Harn, ... There are many hotels in the area so it's best to check on a platform like booking.com to see whether they have all the facilities you need!
