Rawai is THE BEST PLACE in PHUKET? (I've booked 3 more weeks)

[@juliefarrar7236]

My daughter now lives in Phuket Town and works remotely she fell in love with Thailand about six years ago when travelling . I have been once and am staying in Rawai next March.Your video is great and I agree all the Thai people I met were lovely it’s a nice country to live in that’s for sure!

[@josh.onthemove]

I stayed there a couple months last year, it’s a nice spot of the island. I missed the beach being nearby though. Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoy your next trip!

[@kateperry96ify]

I went back to Rawai last year, still as beautiful as ever. Thank you for beautiful video⭐️

[@josh.onthemove]

@@kateperry96ify thanks for the comment, defo one of the best spots in Phuket 🙌🏻

[@Arty-h4c]

Some amazing shots 😍 can’t wait to get back there

[@josh.onthemove]

[@mattiek9836]

These videos make me want to go back to Thailand! Great videos

[@josh.onthemove]

Book the flight 😉

[@BazzaOTW]

Thanks for the tour mate, first trip there coming up and doing some research.

[@josh.onthemove]

Enjoy your trip and thanks for the comment 👊🏻

[@americaninchina4853]

Great vid buddy! I haven't been to Rawai but you may have lured me back to Phuket at some point.

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks big man, you might just like it…

[@northshoreplaid]

Great video...music, video, narrative..!! Thanks. Subbed

[@josh.onthemove]

Appreciate you 🙌🏻

[@northshoreplaid]

@@josh.onthemoveI’ve never been. But the more vids I watch. Especially yours. The more I’m doing my planning!!!!

[@Lottieandtom.travel]

Great video, I think you've convinced us to stay there in October! Subscribed :)

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks! It’s probably been my favourite spot in Phuket, hope you like it there!

[@danielmcdonald9917]

Nice video mate I was out there fighting in 2016 for 5 months, il be back this year in November be good to see u there if your travelling at that time.

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks mate, think I’m done for phuket this year, will come back again next year. Have a good trip brother!

[@larastevens2256]

Thanks. Very excited. Will be here end of November 😊😊😊

[@josh.onthemove]

Amazing 🙌🏻

[@kevd1036]

Weather looks amazing for August

[@josh.onthemove]

The weather has been great recently. Raining overnight and the occasional bout in the day, blue skies 90% of the time!

[@elscotto9551]

Great video, we're heading there in April, can't wait. Is there an easy way for a family of 5 to get around Rawai, staying in Nai Harn?

[@josh.onthemove]

I’d say car or taxi for a family personally. I love riding scooters in Thailand but not sure I’d want to do it with a whole family on two bikes. Download grab and bolt (Asia’s uber). Thanks for the comment 👍

[@anomad6314]

where did you stay? how do you find accommodation?

[@karenanon9156]

Looks amazing, weather not bad either

[@josh.onthemove]

Weathers been great for this time of year!

[@TattoodGringo]

Will be adding it to the places next year.

[@josh.onthemove]

I like it a lot there when I’m in Phuket

[@Midlifehits]

Love rawai, stayed there on my travels last year and it’s exactly as you described. Got everything you need but no where near as chaotic as other parts of the island 🏝️

[@josh.onthemove]

Defo the right combination for me. I rode up to Phuket town the other evening and was quickly reminded how busy it was elsewhere! Lovely spot down here

[@RebeccaDone-vl2ey]

This used to be my home. Miss it so much 😢 will return! UK is horrific

[@josh.onthemove]

The UK isn’t for me either, thanks for the comment 🙌🏻

[@japhyvansan]

Great video!!

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks 🙌🏻

[@kevrushton654]

Brilliant 👏

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks Kev!

[@davidbuckley9307]

Excellent clip Josh, not jealous at all. Rawai, been to a few times, prefer Kamala usually but that clip just look amazing. Hows the accommodation prices there

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks for the comment mate. Never stayed at Kamala so it’s hard to compare prices but I’d say it’s just above average for Phuket here in Rawai

[@stegura83]

​@@josh.onthemoveSurin Beach area is very nice.

[@danielplatt6638]

Monuments at promthep cape are a tribute for Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse also known as 'The father of the thai Navy'

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks brother, I didn’t want to talk about things I had no clue about

[@kevd1036]

Love rawai. Ya Nui beach is bliss ❤

[@josh.onthemove]

It’s paradise mate!

[@pitbullgav]

Been going Rawai for 17 years and back in December for 2 months

[@opulent1]

I live in Thailand and I'm thinking about spending the month of December in Phuket, Preferably Rawai. Any reccemdations on a nice place to stay?

[@josh.onthemove]

In Rawai there are about 4 condos by the Rawai beach road that are pretty good judging by pictures and reviews. I just stayed in the title in a one bedroom apartment and it was nice enough 👍🏻. If it’s a holiday and you’re going solo I’d probably pick a hotel though

[@mikeroberts9911]

Can ya give us an idea of the mosquito situation?

[@josh.onthemove]

Good Q - there’s a lot more at this time of year but nothing unbearable. I try not to standstill for too long outside with my skin exposed in the evening and then it’s fine, I get bit a few times per week, sometimes worse than others but it’s not too bad or a dealbreaker

[@SpicyRightWing]

Been 3 times,never to that spot! Maybe back in 2025

[@josh.onthemove]

Such a nice spot of Phuket!!

[@Jeff-sm8of]

Which are you, pusi prowler or Gary glitter?

[@josh.onthemove]

Which are you? You sound like a combo of both.

[@justinenglish3660]

Phuket Old Town is best

[@josh.onthemove]

I once thought that but I’ve changed my mind!

[@luceinbattaglia9425]

It was.. 15 years ago!😉May be not now..

[@josh.onthemove]

Where do you prefer in Phuket now?

[@MJY3692]

As an Australian I found Rawai dirty and underwhelming

[@josh.onthemove]

Fair. Everywhere can’t be for everyone, it’s not 10/10 but I like it

[@gajner]

Do you have a special interest in Russians? That would explain many things.

[@josh.onthemove]

Intelligent guy

[@opalguys9158]

Not any more now that you have ruined it.

[@josh.onthemove]

Lol and I’m sure you found it on a map and sailed the high seas to get here before anyone else was here

[@kurtduerrduerr1696]

Voxtours did that already 15 years ago.

[@kr4559]

Looks awful 😆. I went to Phuket for a 10 day holiday 2 yrs ago… 2 yrs later, I’m married to a beautiful Thai lady made dozens of amazing friends. I was 38 when I first came here and will say anyone out there who for the usual reasons are sick to death of this ‘life’ in the UK / most of Europe now… LIFE IS SHORT. Get OUT. You’ll never regret it. When I return to UK to visit friends / family I find the country worse and worse. I feel bad for some people in uk cus if they saw life over here they’d NEVER go back just like me. Others I think are just mentally blocked and aren’t bothered by the political system the msm the roads the weather and most importantly the prices… I’m a very lucky man in this area and have done relatively well, BUT after living in Thailand I will NEVER pay the prices in the uk. The fuel, tax, car prices the waiting for dentists/ doctors, prices of a beer / restaurants and then you have the abysmal night life surrounded by dangers that come with it… no thankyou. Thailand up till this point (41) has made me happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life. (And I had a ‘good’ life in UK when the world was slightly more normal shall we say. That time is unfortunately LONG gone. And as I said my advice. Life’s too short. Grab your loved ones and get over and your eyes will be open. 👍👍👍

[@josh.onthemove]

Haha, if you’re the happiest you’ve ever been, that’s all you need to know you made the right choice. Fair play, what a place 🙌🏻💙

[@wardiya3arbiya]

What do you do for living in thailand? How you Finance your life there? Serious question. Someone I know has a flat in Rawai but still works as GP in the UK. I am a nurse practitioner. How can I move permanently there?
