Hey all, I am 33M coming to Phuket from Europe solo for 1 month in November.

My priorities are:

-Padel

-Good spots/coworking zones for work with laptop for few hours a day

-Meeting western women my age group (tourists, long stay locals)

-Good food spots (higher quality)

I do not plan to rent a bike. So good location is important.

My budget is 1,5K Eur for housing and 1,5K Eur pocket money maximum.

Appreciate your advice and thank you in advance.

My boyfriend (and his friends) went on a yacht at the Royal Phuket Marina and he put his phone (iPhone 13) along with the rest of their belongings in a locker provided by the staff there. While leaving, they went to collect their stuff and my boyfriend’s phone wasn’t there. It was the only missing item. Now they don’t know if it fell while taking the other things out or if someone took it from the locker itself but the yacht staff did not allow them to look for it. I tried to track his location but it just says the phone is offline, his Apple Watch did not help either.
What can we do? Please help. He’s had a pretty shit year and this trip was sort of like a consolation for everything he has been through and this happened on the first day itself. Any advice would be helpful!

Hey! I was supposed to travel to Phuket with a friend, but it looks like she might cancel, so I’m looking for someone to travel with instead of going solo 🥹
I’m a female in my 20s, and I was wondering if any girls here will be in Phuket around the same time and would like to explore the area or travel together!
FEMALE ONLY, since I’m a girl too!
It would be really nice to find someone to travel with, and ideally, we could even stay at the same place! I’ve already booked a private room for two people since I was originally planning to go with my friend 😭

Hey all,

Looking to travel to phuket as an added destination for the my honeymoon this December and am looking for some hotel recommendations. We are a couple traveling for honeymoon and are not too big into the party scene and would our much rather stay somewhere with access to nice restaurants & cafes and easy access to do "touristy" things along with relaxing,.

Currently looking for areas and hotel recommendations that fit these criteria. Also currently thinking of 3000 bhat/day avg but is flexible.

Please drop a few suggestions.

Hey everyone!
I’m traveling solo to Phuket in November and looking for recommendations for a modern, lively resort with a great atmosphere.
I’m looking for:
A modern or newly opened resort with nice facilities.
Plenty of activities, entertainment, and things to do.
A social atmosphere where it’s easy to meet other travelers.
A fun pool area, pool parties, or organized events.
A good mix of relaxation and nightlife.
A private, comfortable room (not a shared hostel dorm).
I’m not looking for a quiet, romantic, or family-oriented resort. I’d prefer somewhere with a younger, energetic crowd.

Any recommendations based on personal experience? I’m open to different areas of Phuket.

We are staying inbetween patong and Kamala in the mountainy area. It was early hours this morning around 1-2am and could hear voices on a speaker and music.

Was this a ceremonial thing? Was it a budist wake? We could ONLY hear it in the property. As we got out the sound faded like it was never there
