Find accommodation
The accommodation options are extensive, from luxury and budget hotels, including Avani+ Mai Khao Phuket Suites & Villas, to resorts, hostels, and villas in Phuket with a private pool. Whatever you decide, pick lodgings that suit your tastes and budget.
Getting to Phuket
Phuket is renowned for having the second busiest international airport in Thailand. Alternatively, you can travel to Phuket from Bangkok via the regional bus service.

The tuk-tuk is also popular, but you have to negotiate the fare tactfully. Car taxis are metered but hard to find. You can also rent motorcycles or hire a motorcycle taxi.
