thank you [Music]
so recently I've got lots of questions about is it the right time to visit Phuket now or
not well let me give you some real facts and later we will decide if it is or not
before one week I was in Phuket and I have stayed there for only two nights some work some vacation
and as I said I was getting this question a lot how is Phuket now although I had no intentions
to make a vlog about it but I decided to do one after what I saw what's happening in Phuket or
let's say what's coming next so shortly I will give you the negative and positive points and
you will see what's best for you [Music] thank you the first thing I want to mention is that
Phuket recently is very very overpriced yes if you want to compare it into other Province or
Island in Thailand then it's on the top being the most expensive place to spend your vacation
things are overpriced starting from the services Transportation food nightlife and more so let's
break it down before we talk into another major annoying problem in Phuket [Music] if you want
to spend a day in Phuket doing at least the things that you should do you might be spending around 2
000 to 3 000 Baht per day now this includes your meals your activities some nightlife
and more but if you want to add some tours an island trip well you might exceed that
budget this is if you are spending wisely not into nightlife or extra activities [Music]
now I have made an entire Vlog about this and how expensive is Phuket these days you can watch it
on our YouTube channel but let us end this part by telling you if you want to visit Phuket these days
then you better bring some good cash unless you like wandering around and doing nothing
[Music]
let's say you are okay to spend money in this beautiful island but how about the
second problem and that's really annoying which is Phuket is more than overcrowded
now especially if you want to spend around Patong and major touristic areas guys trust
me when I say sometimes even you cannot walk too many tourist people vendors motorbikes cars
tuk-tuks so once you are out for a walk then your brain will pump up for what's going on around you
thank you
[Music]
now what does it mean when it's overcrowded besides that you will pay for things more
than they were because of the high demand you will not enjoy any service the restaurants
are full the massage shops are packed with tourists so you will get the worst massage
the street vendors are busy so no time for good bargain and moreover you could easily get scammed
thank you
[Music]
now Phuket was usually crowded before the pandemic and what most people like to do is
to avoid the busy streets and go to the beach and why not to have some relaxing
moments enjoy the Sun the waves and more here things are getting worse too from the moment
you enter the beach you will be welcomed by jet ski and other service providers so you
will use all your skills till you get rid of them after that try hard to find a quiet spot
to sit and enjoy the surroundings but that also impossible these days since it's just like the
streets of Patong so what can you do go with the floor or go back to your hotel thank you
[Music]
While most of us visit Phuket specially Patong The Walking Street for The Nightlife and yes
we all know that it's a very busy place but what about these days if I want to
describe 90 of the people wandering around from one end of The Walking Street to the
other the girls the service providers the promoters and the scammers are more than
the customers so once they get you you can guess what happens next I have made a vlog
about the scams in Phuket nightlife so we are not going to talk about that but if you
want to experience the worst nightlife then Patong will happily offer you that [Music]
thank you this was about the situation in Phuket now but what's coming next
may interest you too so let me give you the major points [Music]
low season is here and the rainy season is officially
here so if you are coming to Phuket in the coming months till September
then get prepared to enjoy the positive and negative points of the Lost season
[Music]
the activities in Phuket are much related to the weather so imagine low season rainy
season what will happen to the tours especially the boat tours now here you
have two points negative and positive let us start from the positive ones [Music]
the tour prices will go down more than 50 percent so that's cool finally a way to
get some cheap prices in Phuket for example the Fifi Island Tour that is usually more than 2000
Baht it will be less than 1200 but yes same tour same options but wait that's the positive Point
what about negative one the tour will not be so fun as the high season if you are lucky you
will do all the activities if not then some of them it will be impossible because of the
rain and the harsh weather and sometimes even the trip will be shorter because some
islands are impossible to reach anyway let's be positive not all the time [Music] thank you
[Music]
another positive point the prices of the accommodations and their offers will be
insane that's the most thing I love about the low season big rooms nice views free
breakfast and more but wait most of the time you will spend it there why because
it's raining and it's Mass outside okay for me no problem I will enjoy the food and get
some sleep what about you is that okay so think about it unless you love to spend
your vacation in Phuket inside the malls while shopping overpriced items [Music]
thank you [Music]
so let us ask the question one more time is it the right time now to visit Phuket
well the answer is no if you are looking for a great vacation with sunny days cool
weather full activities and more but the answer is yes if you are looking for cheap
accommodation flights and trips so it depends what are you looking for and don't forget how
much you are willing to spend once again this Vlog is not to make you feel down so
that you won't come to Phuket but it's about the facts and of course to get you prepared
what to expect if you are coming to Phuket now as always we love to show you the real picture
