5 Things to Know Before You Travel to Phuket - Your ultimate guide!

As we know, Phuket is a tropical island, and as such, you need to brace yourself for the humidity. The temperature in Phuket on a typical day is somewhere about 30° Celsius, but owing to the heavy humidity, it often feels much hotter than that. It is possible that at first, you may feel a bit uneasy, but if you drink enough water and wear proper clothing, you will feel totally fine.

Although Phuket is large enough to function as its own province, the island does not yet possess the population enough to warrant the establishment of its own public transportation. Having said that, there are many places to visit in Phuket. A private cab is the most frequently used transport to get around. Many resorts like Avani+ Mai Khao Phuket Suites & Villas offer transportation services to their guests. These services are usually convenient and hassle-free, allowing guests to easily explore the surrounding area without having to worry about renting a car or navigating public transportation. There is always a tuk-tuk or Songthaew accessible for individuals who choose to take the local route; however, these modes of transportation are not just less expensive but also slow.

Warm temperatures and insects go hand in hand. Mosquitoes may be found just about everywhere. Naturally, the resorts and villas will have mosquito sprays available for you to use throughout your stay. You also have the option of purchasing an insect repellent, which can be found at almost every convenience shop on the island. They are quite effective, and there is a wide range of options available to you.

If you are going to be staying in a resort or hotel, the room will provide "complimentary drinking water" for you to use. The reason that the hotel is giving you such a luxury is not that they are trying to be kind to you; rather, it is a means for them to let their customers know that the water from the tap is not drinkable. You won't have any trouble finding cold, fresh, and clean water to drink here, and it won't cost you too much either. Convenience shops often have a wide variety of drinking water options, including carbonated, still, and mineral waters, all of which can typically be purchased for very reasonable prices.

Phuket is no exception to the rule that sunny days and rainy days are always to be expected on a tropical island. As a result, the climate in Phuket is generally mild, and the island may be visited at any time of the year. It is possible that there may be rainfall, although this kind of weather is typical for a tropical island. To ensure your beach holiday doesn't end up being a soggy affair, proper planning is key. Don't forget that September and October are the rainiest months in Phuket, so steer clear during this time if you want to stay dry and sun-kissed.
