Phuket travel tips
Visa and entry
Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Thailand before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.
Health and safety
Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Thailand.
Currency and tipping
The currency is the Thai baht (THB). Not compulsory; leaving small change or 20–100 baht for good service is appreciated.
Best time to visit
November to April. Dry season with calm seas; May to October brings monsoon swells.
Getting around
Domestic flights connect Bangkok with Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and Koh Samui in about an hour. Private transfers are the easiest way to travel between Bangkok and Pattaya; ferries and speedboats link the islands.
Local etiquette
- Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
- Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.
- Cover shoulders and knees at temples and the Grand Palace, and remove shoes where asked.
What to pack
Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and swimwear, a compact umbrella or rain jacket and comfortable walking shoes.
Phone and internet
Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.
Budget
We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
