What should you avoid doing in Phuket?

While visiting Phuket, it is important to be mindful of a few things to avoid and ensure a pleasant and respectful experience. Firstly, it is advisable to refrain from engaging in any illegal activities, as Thai laws are strictly enforced. This includes drug possession and distribution, which can lead to severe penalties. Additionally, it is important to respect local customs and traditions. Avoid disrespectful behaviour towards religious sites and symbols, such as Buddha statues, and dress modestly when visiting temples. It is also wise to be cautious of scams and overly aggressive touts that may try to overcharge or deceive tourists. Finally, be mindful of the environmental impact and avoid contributing to the pollution of the island's beautiful beaches and natural attractions by disposing of trash responsibly and participating in sustainable tourism practices by not collecting corals/ shells if you see them. By being aware and respectful, you can enjoy a memorable and harmonious stay at any luxury hotel in Phuket the likes of Anantara Layan Phuket Resort.
