Any advice on Phuket? I haven't seen any properties that look particularly compelling to me - I need to be there for a work event for 3 days, considering skipping spending any additional time though and just going to Bangkok for longer.
Based on the advice above about how to avoid hookers in Bangkok, the equivalent advice in Phuket would be to never leave your resort
I’m not a huge Phuket fan in general and certainly not for any of the big chain hotels. The real attraction of Phuket (assuming you’re not into the aforementioned oldest trade) are the higher end resorts which are relatively good value in Phuket (e.g. Trisara). Obviously what Bangkok can’t get you is time on a beach.
