Phuket and its Region: Voyage Experience

By Cristina Rebiere

Welcome to your new Voyage Experience guide: "Phuket and its region" which we hope will help you discover a part of this gorgeous country, an authentic pearl of Asia with paradisiacal beaches, breathtaking landscapes, welcoming people, wild nature and a culinary richness that will enchant your taste buds. A mix of culture, nature, and history that we have enjoyed very much during several unforgettable trips, which we would like to share with you.

We returned to Phuket and explored the area for a month at the end of 2023, and we still love it. We have included our new discoveries and updated some information that has changed since our last visit to the region.

 

We will also take this opportunity to prepare a more detailed guide to Krabi and its beautiful surrounding islands, as well as another one for the Khao Lak region, which we will be visiting right after.

Welcome to your new Voyage Experience guide: Phuket and its region which we hope will help you discover a part of this gorgeous country, an authentic pearl of Asia with paradisiacal beaches, breathtaking landscapes, welcoming people, wild nature and a culinary richness that will enchant your taste buds. A mix of culture, nature, and history that we have enjoyed very much during several unforgettable trips, which we would like to share with you. We returned to Phuket and explored the area for a month at the end of 2023, and we still love it. We have included our new discoveries and updated some information that has changed since our last visit to the region. We will also take this opportunity to prepare a more detailed guide to Krabi and its beautiful surrounding islands, as well as another one for the Khao Lak region, which we will be visiting right after.

I’ll provide a concise overview of what you can visit in Phuket and its nearby region, whether it’s for a week or a whole month. If we were to write about all the places we visited, it would fill books of hundreds of pages, and the cost of printing in color would make the prices of our Voyage Experience guides prohibitive. Currently, paper versions are still preferred over electronic versions. Therefore, we always aim to highlight the most significant sites and synthesize as much information as possible. This paper book is based on an ebook that you can get for free on your smartphone or tablet (see at the end of the book the modalities) and where you can use all the features explained in the following section: How to use the eguide. The eGuide offers you another approach to travel, between logbook and classic guide. You can imagine that we don’t have a team like Lonely Planet, so you will not find in this guide full of addresses of accommodation or restaurants. We share with you our own travels, discoveries and personal experiences. We hope this will help you discover new destinations and make you want to visit them. Note that the electronic version works almost like a website and doesn’t need to be used with an Internet connection (unless you want to access OpenStreetMap and the other hyperlinks we give you throughout the book). If you own an Android smartphone and want to save money on data, use the free MapFactor Navigator app that we warmly recommend, tested and approved on the roads around the world. The maps are available for free download to allow users to benefit from the offline mode and browse without a permanent Internet connection.

Sincerely,

Cristina & Olivier

Formalities

If you are a French or European citizen, a visa is not required if your stay is less than 30 days. However, this duration may change and return to 45 days or every 3 months, as it was before the COVID health crisis. Check the validity period of your passport, which must be at least 6 months from the date of entry
