Phuket, beautiful beach city

A small city, if you compare it with Bangkok. Phuket offer different kind of attraction from Bangkok. You will find more tourist here. This fun island provides an unbeatable combination of perfect silky soft white palm-lined beaches, superb hospitality and great value of accommodation.

You can rent a car or motorcyle if you are going here in a group. I rent a big van with reasonable price, about 2000 baht for full day (get discount about 300 baht, so it's 1700 baht). It's 12 seater van. The local driver is very friendly although he can't speak much English. There is 3 type of attraction in Phuket:

- Island tour with fast boat (preferable)

- City sightseeing around temple, city view point, local mall and souvenir shop

- Popular local places that offer you to watch their performance. (Siam Niramit, Phuket Fantasea and Simon Cabaret)

 I think you can plan and do all of this within 3 days. I suggest it will be like this:

- Island tour from morning to afternoon, (back to hotel) and prepare to watch night attraction like Siam Niramit or phuket fantasea. 

The most popular island tour consist Phi phi island, Sea kayaking, James bond, and many more) The price is diverse, and they offer you buffet meal as well, so you don't need to worry that you will have empty stomach while buying a tour package. As far as I can remember the price is from 1500-2500 baht/person/attraction. The more person you have, the more you can get discount, so you need your bargaining skill here.

You can strolling around Phuket by foot or using public transportation. The most popular shopping mall in Phuket is Jungceylon near Patong. Don't forget to experience the night life in red light district area (around Patong Beach)

You can have a half day city tour in a van for about 1500-2000 baht (depend on the type of car). The driver mostly will bring you to souvenir shop, selling tea, silk or honey.
