Patong nightlife is not suitable for children.The heat and sun can be very intense for the little ones.

Generally safe, but requires a high degree of caution. The greatest danger is traffic accidents, especially on motorcycles. Scams are common.

Violent crime against tourists is very rare.
Thailand has one of the highest traffic accident rates in the world.Scams with the rental of motorcycles or jet skis (pre-existing damage).Thefts on busy beaches.Danger of strong currents in the sea during the rainy season.

Cleanliness

70

Variable. Main beaches and resorts are kept clean, but rapid development and mass tourism are creating waste management problems in other areas.

The most popular beaches are cleaned regularly.Large hotels and resorts maintain high standards of cleanliness.
Plastic pollution is a visible problem on some less touristy beaches and in the sea.In party areas like Patong, the streets can be dirty in the morning.

Tips for Family

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.
