Incredible beaches, crazy discos, excellent Thai cuisine and surprisingly attractive low prices - that's what a trip to Phuket is all about. You can organize a trip to this heavenly place on your own, since you don't have to do anything difficult.
Visa application
If your stay in Phuket does not exceed one month, then you may not receive a visa at all. But there is a condition - the passport must be valid during the entire period of stay.
If you plan to rest longer, then a visa must be obtained without fail. But there are no difficulties here. To apply for a tourist visa, the following package of documents will be required:
- a passport valid for another six months;
- copy of the passport (only the first page);
- questionnaire (filling language - English);
- photo 4x6;
- round trip ticket;
- the presence of at least 32 thousand rubles on the account.
A tourist visa is issued within three working days.
Before leaving for Phuket, it is advisable to take out travel insurance.

Buying tickets
Buying tickets on your own is much more profitable than contacting a travel agency. The price will be significantly less. If you plan to save on air travel, then tickets must be booked in advance. Also, do not forget that a flight with several transfers will cost significantly less than a ticket for a direct flight.
All international flights arrive at the airport complex located on the island (about thirty kilometers from the city center).
There are several ways to get to the city. By bus - you can get to the city for a minimal fee, but this is not always the direction you need. After all, the booked accommodation may not be located in the urban area. Taxi and transfer - directly at the airport there are drivers who are ready to take the client to the desired beach for a fee.
Booking a hotel
Booking a hotel must be done while still at home. There are many resources on the internet that provide many options. All you have to do is choose and book.
Upon arrival at the place, you do not need to pay immediately for the entire period of residence. When checking in, you can indicate the approximate length of stay - but not less than two weeks - and pay an advance payment for the next day of stay. If you don't like the conditions, you can leave the hotel without losing money.
Initially, the room may seem cozy, but bedbugs getting out of their hiding places at night will make your stay here just nightmare. The hotel staff can engage in petty theft.
