Phuket in Thailand is an interesting place to visit. Besides its numerous breathtaking attractions, you
will find plenty of amazing things to do in beautiful Phuket. Here are some packing tips if you are still deciding what to pack for your trip.
While paying more attention to your physical items, make sure to spend some time preparing these logistical and administrative items. The first would be travel insurance. From missed flights, lost bags to other travel annoyances there are plenty of instances where a good travel insurance policy can help you while holidaying in Phuket. When you arrange your visa, it is always recommended to check updated requirements online. Be mindful of a valid passport, travel document scans and flight details. Even though booking ferry tickets in advance is not a must, it is good to check ferry times and prices online to avoid last-minute hassles.
Always keep in mind that Phuket is a large island, therefore it is mindful to carry quite a few items. Waterproof packing organizers, a good pack and travel cubes will make your days easier here. A good 15-20L travel daypack will be sufficient to travel around since it offers the best mix of portability and storage. Having a toiletry bag is an invaluable accessory. It will help to keep razor, toothbrush and such essential items c=safe and clean. Since Phuket is a humid and hot island you would probably want more clothes than you would at home. Having a laundry bag will help you to keep dirty clothes separated from clean clothes.
Doing a bit of research about the island before your travel will not waste your time. A good Phuket guidebook will come in handy when it comes to finding attractions, things to do, cafés and restaurants. When you are looking for accommodation options, you can refer to online sources as well. Many Phuket real estate entity such as Layan Residences by Anantara, provides exclusive facilities to explore magical discoveries in Phuket. Once you arrive at the Phuket airport, buy a local sim card and use Google Maps to navigate.
Knowing that Phuket has tropical weather, it is good to have a selection of cotton and lightweight summer dresses, T-shirts etc. for a comfortable experience. When visiting beaches, it is good to have a pair of hiking sandals. Lightweight hiking shoes will be a good option for hike enthusiasts who wish to explore scenic spots in Phuket. If you have no space in your baggage to pack your swimwear, you will have plenty of shops selling affordable swimsuits here. Are you afraid of getting tanned? Do not forget to bring a good quality hat and sunglasses to shade your face while exploring the island.
Thailand often has type O and B/C travel adapters. Therefore, it would be best for you to bring a universal travel adapter that will help you to use your electronic devices while in Phuket. Since you will be spending most of your time out of your hotel room, do not forget to bring a portable power bank. If you are an avid reader and do not like to waste time without doing anything during long bus tours or boat trips, having an Amazon Kindle is a good way to pass time!
