Explore the North of the Island
Most tourists are concentrated in the south. The northern beaches, such as Mai Khao (where you can watch the planes land) or Nai Thon, are much quieter and unspoiled.
Visit the Phuket Town Weekend Market
Known as Naka Market, it is a huge and vibrant market where you will find second-hand clothing, souvenirs, and a spectacular food section. It is the best market experience on the island.
Respect the King and Religion
Monarchy and Buddhism are two pillars of Thai society. Never speak ill of the King or the royal family (it is illegal) and dress respectfully when visiting temples (shoulders and knees covered).
Don't touch anyone's head
The head is considered the most sacred part of the body. Avoid touching anyone's head, even a child's, as it is considered disrespectful.
Travel Insurance
It is absolutely essential. The healthcare system for tourists is private and expensive. Make sure you have insurance with good medical coverage.
Mosquito Repellent
Use repellent, especially at dawn and dusk, to protect yourself from bites and diseases such as dengue.
Do not Rent a Motorcycle without Experience
Phuket roads are dangerous. If you don't have experience riding a motorcycle, it's not the place to learn. Use Grab or the 'songthaews'.
Rental Scam (Motorcycle/Jet Ski)
Before renting, take detailed photos and videos of any pre-existing scratches or damage. When you return it, they could try to blame you and charge you an exorbitant amount.
