Packing for a trip to sunny Phuket can certainly be thrilling. The anticipation of chilling-out on those sandy beaches and swimming in the ocean are enticing indeed. Here's what to take along.
This number must include a basic tank top and two comfortable t-shirts which you can accessories and dress up in some trendy shorts or even a maxi-skirt. Additionally take along a long sleeved and short sleeved top or t-shirt, which you can wear on your temple visits and treks to the rustic little villages. Consider a long sleeved top, which can also be worn on the beach, when you feel you need a break from the beach. Pack a good combination of tops which can be paired with shorts and long skirts or pants.
Denim shorts are chic and stylish while being the perfect beach outfit. They are comfortable and easy to wear and can even be bought for cheap in Phuket. Even if you are not into denim, consider a durable pair of shorts in a neutral colour, to team up with your tops. Remember if you are going to be staying at the popular Phuket luxury villas Thailand has to offer, you will want to look relaxed and chic around the resort. Many like Kata Rocks offer easy access to the beach and its surroundings, which means you will be leaving your resort to enjoy leisurely walks along the coast, and nothing is comfier than a good pair of shorts.
A maxi skirt is the perfect ensemble to dress up an outfit, for maybe those popular evening beach parties, or even for visiting the conservative temples. Take along one in a neutral colour in order to match your tops. Check out the markets and shops, around town or further inland, and you will discover a pretty good selection of maxi-skirts at very nominal rates.
Yes, a sundress is an essential accessory for a beach holiday, cool and comfortable, it offers that breezy, stylish look that works well for all those photos you will uploading on social media. Find one in a neutral shade, which can look great on the beach, at a beach party or when you tour the town. Add a scarf and you can dress up your look, for that perfect chic chilled out island image.
Sandals and loafers are the perfect combination while flip-flops are best for the beach. You can pick the latter up from the local markets. A good sturdy pair of walking shoes or loafer will be comfortable, take one in a good breathable fabric to keep your feet cool. Avoid heels, even for evening wear, instead, a good strappy pair of sandals will look stylish with any outfit while serving a practical purpose for exploring nightclubs on the beach.
