Phuket Free Travel Guide for Four Days and Three Nights Detailed Edition

Phuket is a very well-known tourist destination in Thailand. It is also the only place in Thailand where an island has been turned into a province. Phuket is located in a tropical climate circle, with high temperatures all year round, but a unique marine climate. It’s not stuffy here, and it’s cooler and more comfortable at night. Here’s a detailed guide to share with you.

For departures from Guangzhou, hotels, air tickets, insurance, and airport transfers are booked through Guangzhou Travel. For 4 people, the price is about 2,500 yuan per person (including: round-trip air tickets, 3-night hotel, and round-trip airport transfers) , insurance, and airport transfer bus tickets were given). It feels safer this way. In fact, you can also order online which will be cheaper.

Baiyun Airport

All flights to Thailand are red-eye flights. There are fewer people and the customs clearance is faster.

China Southern Airlines

The whole journey takes about 3 hours. The small plane will be quite bumpy. Because I feel a little dizzy, everyone should prepare airsickness medicine first. There will be a meal on the plane. The meals on China Southern Airlines I have made so many times are basically the same, rice, noodles, steamed buns, pickled mustard ~ I won’t go into details, ha

Boarding

Arrived at Phuket Airport, the airport It is very small, so there will be more centrifugal force when landing, but I feel that the captain's skills are pretty good this time.

When you arrive at the airport, queue up to go through customs first. In Thailand, customs clearance is a bit slower. There will also be people charging you to take you through customs right away, which costs about 100 baht. Someone will pick you up at the airport with a sign with your English name or pinyin written on it. Phuket Airport is very small, so you generally can’t go wrong. It is popular in Thailand to tip, usually ranging from 50-100 baht, but some people will tip more. But their service is very good. We tipped the driver 100 baht for the pick up and drop off.

It was already past 3 o'clock the next morning when we arrived at the hotel. We stayed at the Patong Holiday By Tuana

I like the Group hotel, which is not very beautiful and has a big swimming pool. It's right next to the seafood market and night market, a 5-minute walk away, and 15 minutes from the beach.

You only need to bring your ID card to check in. It is very convenient. The travel agency will also give you a check-in slip. (Remind everyone to check the address online when booking a hotel, because there are many hotels in Badong with similar names, and you have to read them in English to know the difference)

Download 2-3 navigation guides on your mobile phone. Google Maps can only be used abroad and will be more accurate.

There will be many convenience stores 7-11 near the hotel, including FamilyMart. There are all kinds of daily necessities, food, and drinks available at very cheap prices, so you don’t have to worry about not bringing any daily necessities. In fact, it’s cheaper to buy them here than at home. A small bottle of shower gel and shampoo only costs RMB 2-3, and it’s from a big brand like Rejoice and Pantene.

Wash and go to bed quickly.

I slept until about 8 o'clock the next day. Because I couldn't sleep the first night, I got up early. A buffet breakfast is provided daily. Generally, fruits, fried rice, fried noodles, fried eggs, bread, some vegetables, sausages, etc. all taste good because the ingredients are all fresh.

After breakfast, we didn’t plan any itinerary on the first day. We just wanted to go to an unforgettable place. There is a bus stop on the left and right facing Patong Beach. You can take a car to Phuket Town by yourself. Phuket Town sometimes has a Sunday market. There are only fans on the bus and no air conditioning, but it is not too hot because the sea breeze is not bad.

This is what Ronald McDonald is like in Thailand. There are many cars and tutu cars in different colors in Thailand, and you can negotiate the price. This kind of car is safer.

There just wasn’t one when we went. When you get there, many people will come over, let you get in the car and take you around Phuket. We stupidly got on a black car, and for 500 baht (about RMB 110) we told him we were going to Shenxian Peninsula. Then he took us to visit the shopping spot

It was the first time I saw cashew nuts looking like this. There are many foods and drinks made from cashew nuts here, you can try them. Then we went to the jewelry store. Later, he saw that we didn't like it too much and didn't buy anything. I was sent to my destination.

We were really stupid~ But in the end, we were sent to the beautiful Shenxian Peninsula. Fortunately, we did not encounter any danger. Now that I think about it, I am really scared. So it will be safer if you take a tuk-tuk. Even the heat and sun cannot stop our hearts.

The sea water here has many colors and is really beautiful. Many people come here to take wedding photos. Although you can't go down to see the sea. But it’s really beautiful here, and the wind is very strong, so it’s very comfortable.

The sky is really blue, you really have to come and see it with your own eyes to feel it.

The black car took us back to Phuket Town. It was actually not that dark~haha. We took the tutu bus back to Padang. There will be signs on the cars saying where you are going. You can take a closer look and ask the driver. Tuk-tuks are very cheap at 20 baht each (about 5 yuan RMB).

I am so hungry after a day of hard work. Go back to the Banzan Seafood Market near the hotel. Walk a short distance to the left after exiting the hotel and you will find it on the opposite road.

Banzan Seafood Market

The second floor of Banzan Market is a processing restaurant. If you find it troublesome, you can just order it without having to buy it downstairs.

The kitchen of your restaurant has Chinese signs, and the lady boss can also speak some simple Chinese. The processing fee is 20-100 baht (5-20RMB). No, if it’s processed a lot, I’ll give you water spinach.

Your Kitchen

The fruit smoothies at this Pai Pai fruit smoothie on the second floor are delicious and not expensive at 20-50 baht a cup (5-10RMB)

There is a fruit stall on the first floor with all kinds of fruits. Their prices are based on kilograms. For example, 20 baht is 1 kilogram, not our market price of 0.5 kilograms.

If you are not very good at bargaining when buying seafood, it is recommended that you buy from the same store, calculate the total price, and then bargain according to your own price. When we came here for the first time, we were in a group. There was a girl who came here often, so we were very familiar with her. She brought us here to buy seafood after a year. This time I came here, the boss actually remembered me, so I bought here on the second and third days. The price is not expensive, about 300-500 baht per person (about 80-100RMB), but the food is definitely huge. In fact, it is not recommended to eat lobster. To be honest, there is nothing to eat. It is better to eat tiger shrimp and Pipi shrimp.

Big Crab

Pipi Shrimp

The water spinach was given by the proprietress. It tastes very good, and the fried garlic on top is the highlight.

Pineapple fried rice is a must-try. I have never tasted this kind of rice since I returned to China. There are a lot of seafood, nuts, and the rice has a faint taste of turmeric powder. The grains are distinct but not dry. 200 baht (about 45 yuan)

Salt and pepper shrimps are as long as half a girl’s arm. The meat is very sweet and fresh. I forgot how much I bargained for 1,800 baht per kilogram. We bargained in the total price. Anyway, it is 300-500 baht per person (about 80-100RMB)

The chilled tiger shrimp is 800 baht. One kilogram of mussels seems to be 200 baht per kilogram.

After dinner, we walked around and headed towards the beach. There were many bar streets along the road. Most are foreigners.

After looking for it for a long time, it turned out that Thai people don’t eat durian ice cream. Finally, I found it at the kiosk next door to Banzan Seafood Market. 35 baht (8RMB) per piece, it tastes good and has a strong durian flavor. After eating, go back to the hotel and rest.

The next day we booked a one-day tour to Emperor Island (just book online, no problem with Taobao or Ctrip. We booked on Taobao). The service was good. Follow the prompts. Order, if you don’t understand, you can contact customer service. After ordering, there was only a text message and nothing else. At that time, I didn’t know if it was reliable or not. I felt like I was being cheated. But surprisingly, I was not deceived.

We went down to have breakfast at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the driver came in to see us just in time for our departure at 7:30. Just wait in the lobby on the first floor and he will call you by the name you gave when booking.

Today I booked a one-day tour to Emperor Island, ranging from 199-599RMB per person. Check out your favorite itinerary and what it includes.

The driver will first pick you up and drop you off at the pier, and then the tour guide you booked will contact you with a sign. You will know which company you have booked, and then ask if there is your name, and then Go to the pier and get on the boat!

Remember to bring a waterproof bag and personal belongings at sea. Make sure your mobile phone or action camera is waterproof to avoid water intrusion. The sea is really sunny and I can’t see the screen clearly~haha. Please omit the photography skills~~~

The water on Emperor Island is very green and there are many fish on the bottom of the sea. You can bring your own snorkeling equipment. Of course, they also include utensils, but they are just for everyone to use and bite in their mouths.

You must wear a life jacket, the current is really fast, but there is a diving area drawn here, which is relatively close to the shore. To be honest, I can’t swim, but I have the courage to jump into the sea. It’s really adventurous. My heart beats very fast, but when you dive into the water and see the fish on the bottom of the sea, you feel really amazing and happy. I feel like this world is so big, so beautiful, and so mysterious!

After snorkeling, there is a buffet where you can eat some pasta, fried fish, fried rice, vegetables, etc., and then have free time. , the sand on Emperor Island is very white and the water is very clear.

After the meal, there are self-service snacks, drinks, and fruits for free. You can eat whatever you want, drinks, and popsicles. They are colorful and beautiful.

There is a charge for renting umbrellas and chairs. The price was negotiated to 100 baht (about 20-25 RMB) for a day.

If you want to take a shower, it costs 20RMB per person, and only going to the toilet costs 5RMB.

Blow the comfortable sea breeze and take a boat back to the pier in the afternoon, then take you back to the hotel. The whole journey is picked up and dropped off, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost!

It’s about 5 o’clock when we get back to the hotel. After taking a shower, we go out for a walk. There is a bar street next to the hotel with some small handicrafts.

When you come to the night market, you will find the Banzan Seafood Market store. Around 6-7pm, many vendors will start operating. It’s densely packed and full of delicacies that will dazzle your eyes. The average price per person is only 50-60RMB, so you can eat it all.

The barbecue must be the leftover seafood in the market. We ordered some squid and forgot about the price of prawns. They were not expensive.

There is a brine pig farm, pork liver, pig feet, etc., which are very fragrant after brine and then grilled.

Everything about the fruit smoothies, they are all pure juice, without water, added with ice. It is super fragrant and has just the right sweetness. I recommend mango ice, watermelon ice, lemon ones are too sour, haha.

These skewers cost 5-50 baht each (about 1-10RMB), and they taste very good. Isn’t it super cost-effective!

Of course you have to eat durian, they are sold here 1 kilogram costs 100 baht (20 yuan RMB), which is 10 yuan per pound. It tastes sweet.

The next day, we booked a one-day tour to Dandao and PP Island from sea

star. This tour was really good and we picked them up at the hotel in the morning, so everyone should be early Have breakfast and wait in the lobby. Departure is usually between 7 and 8 o'clock. Please communicate with customer service when making reservations.

Wear a bracelet every time. This will make it easier for the tour guide to identify you as a member of their group.

We will have a meeting first to explain some safety knowledge to everyone. The tour guide is very humorous. Then we set off to the pier next door and took a small speedboat. There are three crew members, and it usually takes about 30 minutes to get to the destination. This group was much better than yesterday. We ate and drank along the way, drinks were constantly delivered, fruits were cut, and the tour guide also performed. Everyone was very happy. There are many Chinese tourists in a group. It feels so safe to find someone of your own in a foreign country.

First we came to Egg Island, but this island is very small and shaped like an egg, so it is called Egg Island. I don’t recommend everyone to come. There are so many people and the health condition on the island is very poor. The sea water is not too clean either. Fortunately we only stayed for 30 minutes. There are some souvenirs you can buy here.

But there are really a lot of fish here, and you can feed them very close, right on the shore.

You can check the snorkeling equipment here first to see if there is any water in it, and you can replace it in time.

Remember to adjust the life jacket properly and tie the rope on your thigh, otherwise your whole body will float out when you are nervous. Especially since we can’t swim, the water in the snorkeling area is very deep. Among the four of me, two cannot swim, one can, and the other can swim a little. It's actually quite dangerous, but nothing happened, so take safety measures.

When I went to Wandan Island, I came to DPP Island to dine. It was also a buffet style. Generally, buffets are eaten in Thailand. There are also some noodles, fried rice, fried fish, fried meat, vegetables, fruits, etc.

After you have eaten, you can walk around the island. You are not allowed to wear shoes in some places, and there are many coconut trees~will be there at any time There is a risk of being shot in the head, so it is recommended to walk quickly, haha~

We came to Xiao PP, a super beautiful place, everyone must come, the water is very clear, and the sand is so white. It’s beautiful no matter what you take.

Snorkeling in the middle of the sea off the small PP Island, the water was generally deeper than yesterday. It's really deep and there are lots of different fish species all around you.

May to November are typhoon days in Phuket, so it is best to come here from December to March. Suddenly the weather started to change. We swam over the shark net, and it was a very small shark. The tour guide asked us to get on the boat quickly. They asked us to leave in advance before the weather was about to change. But some group members refused to leave. As a result, we encountered strong winds and waves on the return trip, and flew up to a height of 3 meters, facing strong waves and strong winds. The originally 30-minute journey took more than an hour, and it was really painful. Everyone vomited at that time, but only the four of us did not. Because we were sitting at the back of the boat. Then looked at the clouds in the distance. If you encounter a storm, you really need to listen to your tour guide. Then sit in the back.

Finally back to shore~very tired, but what an adventure. I was really scared at the time because I couldn’t swim and the current was so fast.

We found a restaurant in the bar street near the hotel, at the side entrance of Jiangxi Leng Shopping Mall, where there were more foreign friends. I forgot the name, but there are a lot of food models at the door. This is the only one that has them, and everyone will recognize them at a glance.

The shape of the rice here is like this. I ordered a piece of Thai fried pork with rice. The lemongrass and galangal are rich in flavor, sour and spicy, which is very appetizing.

You must order Tom Yum Goong when you come to Thailand, each restaurant has a different taste. There is a lot of seafood here, not much sourness, a bit spicy.

The satay skewers are paired with bread. I feel that this dish has a relatively light taste, not strong spices, and not heavy gold flavor.

The taste is generally not full. When walking to the beach, I found a roadside shop selling Thai rice noodles and noodles. Although it is a roadside stall, the soup base is indeed made from chicken bones. It is very fresh and rich. The pho is delicious because it is a Thai specialty. The soup base is like drinking a bowl of Laohuo soup, you won't feel thirsty after drinking it.

There are many more, such as sour mango, snack shrimp crackers, squid, etc. you can buy and try.

Thailand is also really colorful and crazy. There are parade cars all over the street, with foreign beauties dancing on them.

You can also arrange a transvestite performance. There are serious and informal ones, it’s up to you! But the transvestite sings very well and is also very beautiful. At the end of the day, you have to pay 20-50 baht for taking photos. It depends on whether the ladyboy is very popular or has won any awards. It will be more expensive.

The boxing gym also came out to promote it.

It is also a good choice to go to the bar, sit down, order a drink and watch the show.

It’s the end of the trip so quickly~ I’m very reluctant to part with it. I saw a rainbow when I went out today ~ it was formed by the reflection of sunlight.

Go to the nearby Jiangxi Leng Shopping Mall to buy some souvenirs, your favorite things, and souvenirs. There are two large shopping malls just across from Banzan Market. There is a Big

C supermarket inside, just like Jusco and Carrefour in China. There is everything to eat, use and play.

Clothes and shoes are super cheap. There are also digital products, which are 1000-2000RMB cheaper than domestic ones. UnionPay cards can be withdrawn from tellers with the UnionPay logo, and you can get them directly in Thai baht, which is very convenient. Finally, certain products can be tax refunded at the airport.

Finally, let’s go for a walk on Patong Beach. Thai cars like to use bright colors.

Find a hotel nearby for dinner. P.S. The taste of this restaurant is very good. You can try it.

Address: No. 157, Rat-U-thitSongRoiPi Road.

Green curry chicken is relatively light, not spicy, with corn shoots and chicken.

Tom Yum Goong, the shrimps have been peeled. The taste of this one is great, better than last night, with lemongrass and south ginger aroma and enough sourness.

Green papaya salad, super appetizing, sour and spicy, and crushed peanuts.

This satay chicken skewers is also delicious. The sauce is sweet and spicy, with a strong peanut flavor and then spices.

This mango sticky rice is a must-try. The coconut milk is very fragrant, the mango is very sweet, the glutinous rice is glutinous but not sticky, and the sesame seeds on top are the finishing touch and body fragrance.

After eating, I took a walk and found a Thai massage. I relaxed and enjoyed the journey before returning to my country.

It’s hard to tell the specific address. It’s on the left and right facing Patong Beach. The lady boss looks like this.

The store looks like this. You can go in first to have a look at the environment and negotiate the price before proceeding. This is a full body massage for 300 baht per person (about 60-70RMB) with small private rooms.

First of all, I will wash your feet. They are all kneeling, which is very embarrassing. Then I changed my clothes and started. The pressing was quite comfortable and the strength was good, but my auntie was so fat when she pressed it for me. There was one movement where she pressed her whole body, haha. I felt very relaxed after pressing the button, and you can leave a tip. I don’t think I did, and I don’t know if my friend did.

After pressing the button, go to Patong Beach for a walk. There are beach motorcycles and parachutes to play with.

Because the hotel has checked out at 12 o'clock and the luggage is stored on the first floor, so Didn't play.

This place is so beautiful that I don’t want to leave.

Finally, we came to Banzan to have another meal before returning home. I still buy seafood from the same store and process it.

Everyone must drink smoothies. They are all pure fruits, which are rare in China. They always add water. Mango flavor, coconut flavor, cola flavor, lemon flavor.

Still doing it in your kitchen. I ordered a Tom Yum Goong, which was different from the one in the hotel. The one here is more refreshing, sour and has more coriander flavor.

My favorite pineapple fried rice.

I bought some squid, which has a lot of seasonings. It tastes good because it is fresh.

The scallops are relatively small, have a strong garlic flavor, and I think the taste is average.

In the end, it was also an evening flight. The same driver came to pick us up at around 8 pm. He was also waiting in the hotel lobby, so we had to wait early. Because there are often traffic jams on the road to the airport. So the driver usually arrives early. The journey ends like this. When we went back, the flight was delayed for a long time, and it was already dawn when we arrived in Guangzhou. I just happened to take pictures during the day and saw the sunrise!
