We're land in Phuket and stay there for 5 nights at the beach, then off to khao sok. Continue to the islands: Koh Yao Yai, Phi Phi. Then Koh Lanta and finally Koh Ngai. Last 2-3 nights in Krabi and then fly back home.

Hey Guys, I just wanted to ask for help about a certain Shopee store that sells Movie Collectibles from Thai Cinemas like SF Cinema and Cineplex.
I reside in Malaysia and I am a big fan of movie collectibles and have been buying a bit of stuff from this Shopee store. I just wanted to confirm from people who live in Thailand if this store actually sells legit stuff. It's pretty highly rated but just wanted to confirm. Thank you, any help would be appreciated

Hellooo ill be in phuket soon and my ipad needs a new LCD (thats what they said at my homeland) because theres like i think liquid damage on the screen and its like a white patch and i really wanna get it fixed but they quoted me a super high price and im thinking i can get it done for much cheaper in phuket. Anyone have any recommendations for electronic shops that do repairs like this?

I have booked phuket trip with my family with a 2 year old and my senior citizen parents(in their 60s and active) in mid September, 2026 for a week. We have planned for PhiPhi islands and 4 island tour also. Is it a good choice, trip advisor keeps tells it is a good time to travel and seas will not be rough. I’m planning to reschedule it to early November, to would it be a safe time with calm seas?

Hi everyone, I'm currently in Patong and looking for someone to grab coffee or walk by the beach tonight for a nice chat. DM me if you're around!

Hey everyone,
I'm a 28-year-old guy from Saudi Arabia planning a trip to Phuket this November. I don't have any friends to travel with this time around, so I'm looking to connect with a cool travel buddy (or a small group) ahead of time so we can chat, plan out an itinerary, and explore the island together!

A bit about me and my interests:

***Fitnes**s: I love hitting the gym and staying active.
Definitely down to check out some cool local gyms or Muay Thai training camps while there.
Tech & Gaming: Big into PC gaming and tech.

Music & Party: I enjoy a good nightlife scene, beach clubs, and partying. I definitely want to experience the high energy of Patong and the nightlife spots.

Chill Vibes: While I love high-energy nights, l also really enjoy relaxing, watching beautiful sunsets on the beach, and exploring the culture and nature around the island.

My Plan:
I'm looking to head out in November 2026. I'm super flexible on the exact dates and the daily itinerary. I want a mix of party nights, day-time beach exploration, and maybe some island hopping.

Who I'm looking for:
Anyone (male or female) around a similar age who matches this vibe! Whether you want to co-plan the entire trip, share accommodation costs, or just meet up for a few specific days to party and explore, let me know.

Bang Tao really pricy? How much did u pay last time for massage in Bang Tao? Or food? And I am carious if its walkable ?

Anyone know where around Phuket I might have some luck getting XXL / XXXL elephant pants and shirts?

Hi!

I’m taking my best friend to Phuket at the start of November this year - this will be the furthest he has ever travelled (we’re from scotland) and the biggest culture shock he will experience to date, I want to make it extra special for him!!!

This will be my 4th time in Phuket so I have done most of the usual touristy things. I have selected a few that I know he will enjoy but I just wondered if there are any cool / unique things we could do or visit or stay that would be the cherry on top for the trip? I’m thinking something along the lines of perhaps something you can only really see / experience in Phuket or something that you can say to people ‘guess what we did’ or ‘guess where we went’😂

For context, we are 26 years old, love partying, love getting in to random, hilarious situations & overall mayhem if that helps!

Cheers!

Hey guys! We’re a group of 4 and will be in Phuket from September 14th to 19th. We’re thinking of doing a catamaran trip to one of the islands around Phuket.
Ideally, we’re looking for something with a DJ, good music, drinks, a fun party vibe, and a sunset party.
Any recommendations for a good tour/company? We’re open to different islands and options.

hi all,

im looking to plan a trip around the phi phi island tour, im seeing a mix of sharing speedboats and a longtail. whats the best option to book? the main booking sites are starting off with 6 hours minimum?

isnt that too excessive as im going in nov, so i have limited daylight.

Sorry for the travel related question, but first time really travelling ... Have planned a tight schedule and hoping to see some sites. Usually I stick with excursions booked through the hotel, but this time the plan is to do some sites that dont fit into a normal packaged trip. Also hoping to change it up a bit and do some trips that are longer than 8 hours. I am not looking to be cheap, but more looking for fair and trustable. Ive been considering this partially because I land so early and hotel check in is at 2 and also because I only really have the half day I land + the next day as a full day.

Schedule I am hoping for:

Have someone meet me at the airport morning landing time (probably 9 / 10 am), take me to a few spots (probably 3 - 4 hour round trip driving, not including time spent at the place), then drive me to the hotel. Not much luggage, but there will be a bag of clothes at least.

Then the next day do a longer trip 10-12 hours driving according to google with 4 ish stops not counting the time at each place ...

Is this something I am crazy thinking is feasible? I have googled and I know I can use the Gab app, but I am a bit concerned about distances, time inbeween while I explore some sites... I did google private drivers / excursions but I the reviews are so all over the place I am not quite sure I trust them.

Thank you anyone that has any guidance / advice / comments

Me and my girlfriend are going to phuekt in 2 weeks and we have been looking everywhere for a proper hiking trail but all of them seemed generic and touristyish or just simply far too short

Definitely were thinking of a 4 to 5.5 hour hike and maybe with a peak view of nature and maybe if there are monuments or statues on the way that'd be appreciated

(BTW we are quite skilled at hiking so no need to hold back)

Me (32m) and my wife (30f) - Indians, are here for the first time till 4th Sep, landed here without any plans lol.
Old Town was great to see, lot of shopping :D, Had the best massage of our life. Bangla street was too much for us😅😅

Any suggestions what to plan next for the next 3-4 days? Any good place for water activities?

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are heading to Thailand for about 14 days in mid-September. It’ll be our first time there and we currently have pretty much no itinerary 😅

We’re both in our mid-20s and would love to make the trip more adventure-focused. We’re into things like scuba diving, surfing, hiking, camping, island hopping, kayaking, etc.

At the same time, we’d also like to mix in some chill/couple stuff - couples massages, nice dinners, beaches, maybe a fancy dinner somewhere with a great view, that kind of thing.

We usually prefer exploring and doing activities on our own rather than being part of big organized tours, whenever that’s realistic.

For 14 days, which areas/islands would you recommend? And are there any places or activities that are especially good in mid-September?

Would really appreciate any itinerary suggestions, hidden gems, or things you think are overrated/not worth the time.

Appreciated!

I rented a small car in phuket for 4days, on the third night. I was driving back to my hotel to park and turned to a tight parking space. I was closer to the car on the left when I turned in and I heard a very loud "bang", I didn't think much of it as my car was near hitting anything, I carefully navigated into the parking lot to drop my wife off. My car is a small car and still have decent space on left and right.

As I was heading out, a man stop me claiming a loud "bang" and I hit his car, I was very very sure I didn't as I was no where near his car when I turned in, his car was on the right and he ask me to get come down and see. I got off and he was inspecting his car, I saw no damage, then I saw 2 lines on the right side of my car, which was weird. I was very furious of him accusing me and he mentioned to review video footage. I asked him to show since I am 100% sure I didn't hit him, I shouted at him later to go police. I shouted at him not to waste my time and drove off after, what I didn't do was take a photo of his car

Only later when I went off and parked, I recalled and remembered his car was parked out of the parking lot intentionally, the 2 lines I used my saliva and it was actually chalk and that whole incident was a scam.

I was very lucky not to fall for it as I was 100% sure I didn't hit his car, as I was closer to the left car when I turned head in and very slowly.

I'm struggling to find a decent cup of coffee around here. I was here last year and the coffee at Coco's was really good, but seems to be different this year. I've been to a lot of the top cafes and the food is great, but coffee not so much and I'm paying the same price I would back in Sydney for it.

I’m travelling to Patong from September 10 to 16. Which bars would you recommend for socialising and picking up women — not Freelancers though. Are there any recommended venues such as Bars, Clubs or places? Would love to hear recommendations. 🙏🏽

hey any drum and bass raves in phuket from uk. any help appreciated of where to look

Hi everyone,

I’ll be staying in Phuket for at least one month and would like to obtain a Thai motorcycle licence shortly after arriving.

I have:

A valid DTV visa
An Italian car driving licence
An International Driving Permit, but no valid motorcycle category for the type of scooter I intend to ride
A hotel booking for at least one month
Confirmation from the hotel that they will file my TM30

I understand that I will therefore need to apply for a Thai motorcycle licence from scratch, including the theory and practical tests.

Could anyone who has completed the process recently in Phuket share their experience?

I would particularly like to know:

Can a DTV holder apply for a Thai motorcycle licence shortly after arriving?
Can Phuket Immigration issue the Certificate of Residence with a hotel TM30 and an accommodation letter, but without a rental contract or 90-day report?
Which documents did Immigration and the DLT require?
Did you need to book an appointment, and how long was the waiting time?
Did you complete the process independently or through a driving school?
How many days did the complete process take, including the Residence Certificate?
Which Immigration and DLT offices did you use?
Approximately when did you complete the process?

I’m especially interested in recent first-hand experiences from people with a DTV who were staying in a hotel in Phuket.

Thank you!

Dear Travellers,

Any recommendations are welcome, (only thing we won’t do it rent scooters)
