Phuket Trip
I read from one of the article that the best time to go Phuket is on December when there is always sunny days. Month of December is their summer time.
But to my surprise i check the weather report is telling me that its gonna be cloudy with some rain shower is expected during our stay. Well, we hope for the best.
This is our first time to go to Phuket. We didn't pack our days with a lot of activities this time as we wanna chill on the beach.
PRE-TRIP TRAVEL BOOKING
1. Flight ticket
Our round trip for each person is around: $220
We took Singapore Airlines / Silk Air for our round trip from SIN to HKT.
This is consider a great deal in this holiday seasons as most of the airlines are increasing their fare including the budget airlines. When we checked the price of the budget airlines + the extra baggage cost, it almost equals to the full service airlines for that period.
2. Foreign Currency Exchange
Thai Baht currency to SGD, 1 SGD = 22.17 Thai Baht. Here in Singapore you can find Thai Baht almost in every money changer.
3. Hotel
We booked our stay from Booking.com.
3 days 2 night at Phuket City, Phuket city apartment and residential.
4 days 3 night at Patong area, U Zenmaya hotel.
The apartment is actually not recommended as there is a big sign right after we enter the premises. Although nothing happened to us, but we feel restricted and can not freely use the facilities.
U Zenmaya is a great and quiet hotel at the Patong area. It is not really close to the Patong beach because u need 10 mins ride by car to the beach. But it offers us quiet and beautiful view of the Andaman Sea + sunset.
Address: 181 Soi Krathu 6, Kathu, Kathu District, Phuket 83150, Thailand
4. Airport Transfer
The receptionist from our stay at the apartment offers us the transport from airport to the place. It is 45 minutes from the airport with traffic. The traffic is not that bad that only in certain area is congested. They pick us up using a big van, Toyota commuter that can fit up to 12 persons, which is commonly found everywhere in Phuket.
