To me, one of the nicest things about Phuket is swimming at Karon beach. The water was pretty clean, and if one turns around you can see the top half of the big white Buddha atop the hill. To me that was serene, exotic, calming
yes, 5-7x expensive than all other city in thailand ,and all city have all same what phuket have, why go phuket because all same you can see and be in ewery city. but lot cheapen.
Nice video, however phuket is the most expensive place in Thailand, if you had your experiment in Chiang mai( North of Thailand) you will find out that $ 100 has a lot of value!!
tourist go lot more money than expats. i live 2 year in thailand wery good and no newer has problems, 500$/month. i has all what i need and no need be stingy newer, eat in restaurant 3 time/day,sleep good guality apaprtement 3100 B/month, drink beer and take woman when need. what more normal men need, ofcourse beach and little trip somewere sometime, fishing and relax in park, meet peoples, all, now i live last 4 year retiree and my salary have lot better than before, 1500$/month i live than king and no newer have lack of anythink, all have what i need and can ewery month orden my hobby elektronic stuff,woodwork tools,and wood, metalwork tools and metall, many many many, and travel anywere i want, just has in vietnam, before cambodia, and singapore whit wife shopping, 2000-4000 B can buy flyticket many country cheap and fast go korea,vietnam,cambodia,malaysian,philippines,bali, etc, china has expensive, fly back. but thailand have best good base camp if want looking around asian many country, best live and stay thailand , ihas looking 25 country but alltime go back thailand because have simply BEST, cheap and easy and good, world better street food,say all master chefs in world.
So brilliant, i wish i could lie on the beach while i'm sitting in front of the computer after a long day's work. Thailand is a more and more tourist spot for people all over the world, because its food, beach, temples, massages ,hospitality of locals, i must go there one day.
People saying this is expensive. My hotel in Key West was $600 per night and the cheapest weekly rate hotel I found in ft Lauderdale was $1200 for 5 days for decent accommodations. This is much more beautiful and exotic. Parking hit me for $6-20 per day when going to various beaches as well. Hard to find free parking in tourist areas. This is a dream.
Sadly Americans are banned from Thailand during the pandemic but there are other cheaper countries in SE Asia available. $100 gets very little these days in Thailand. It's not inexpensive as you imply. Food and many clothes are cheaper in the UK. Renting accommodation is no longer dirt cheap. Fibre optic internet is incredibly fast but nearly £19 without calls. Average electricity bill with moderate air con use is £50 per month. I've been here 15 years and it sure isn't cheap.
ive been to phuket samoui and bankok and my best experience for relaxing and having a good time is samoui, phuket is more if you wanna do activities, personally bangok is the best for shopping but i enjoyed it the least
Phuket is the most expensive place in thailand. All prices set for tourists. You will find similar staff if you go to other provinces in Thailand. Believe me I’m Thai.
Phuket is the one place I wish I NEVER went to while in Thailand. People told me to skip it but I didn't listen and now I tell everyone else to skip it. It's a mini Bangkok and overly expensive compared to the rest of Thailand. I highly suggest you avoid Phuket on your travels through Thailand. The main area is small, extremely busy and did I mention expensive in comparison. Do yourself a favour and go see other places.
Wow. I already visit this place back at 2018. I must agree with everything that you share :) Must visit phi phi island when you're in phuket since it takes 2 - 3 hours only.
Karl Bryant you mean the oversalted deep-fried meat prepared by a dude with unwashed hands. No thanks. Thailand is a great place, but some vendors don't understand the basic hygiene rules.
I am a half Thai and I have been 7 times at Thailand i have been 7 times in Chiang mai good food like Kau soi kai and 1 time on Bangkok and 2 times Pattaya. Pattaya not recommended for children and teens. But Pattaya and Bangkok has terminal 21 I have only been on Pattaya terminal 21 it was cheap and fun
The big Buddha place doesn’t have that much stairs there is this one mountain in Thailand too and it have 1.5km of stairs to get to the top I recommend everyone to go there because it has such an amazing view.
100 bucks can get you 10 oil massages or 15 foot massages, 100 bucks can get you a few short times dates or a long time. It can get you 10 days of not fancy but decent Thai street food, rice dishes, noodle soup, etc.
Craig Pork in Thailand is safe to eat but there are some pork from neighboring countries illegally smuggled into Thailand. There was news reported sometime ago when police successfully arrested the smugglers. I don’t think there are anything to worry about at all.
Because there's little nutrition in the food, particularly vegetable protein. Wheat - pasta, wholemeal bread - is loaded with protein in the way that rice and noodles aren't.
money in Thailand is strange due to the immense wealth gap and Western tourists thinking in terms of EUR/USD/GBP. You can spend $4 on a meal for two or $400. For me 3 and 10 are an important numbers when dealing with Thai Baht. GDP per capita, PPP, is about 30% of the US, so this tells me I can buy about $3 worth of stuff in Thailand when the same amount of stuff will cost me $1 in America. With $1 being roughly 30 Baht with today's exchange rate it makes pricing things really easy, as everything then becomes some multiple of 10. For example if a street meal is 60 Baht, although direct conversion will result in about $2 or so, you can roughly equate that to 6USD when accounting for PPP. 10 Baht will buy you about $1's worth of goods and services in Thailand, 100 Baht will buy you 10 bucks worth of stuff, and so on. Same goes for luxury things. A five star hotel costs something like 6000 baht. Although direct conversion results in $200, dividing that 6000 by 10 gives you 600. $600 sounds about right for a 5 star hotel. Thinking like this will make things SUPER easy when determining whether something is a rip off or not. Just divide all the prices by 10 for your USD/EUR/GBP purchasing power.
why only one week ? why not stay one month than normal all men have ???? because, one wekk in tourist travell office trip and own diy buy flyticket and looking on to road hotell have same cost, same cost travell office one-two week and you go diy one month. lot cheapen go internet buy fly ticket go thailand looking hotell were city go no matter alltiem havbe free hotel ewerywere, and apaprtemen lot cheapen one month trip. 70-150$ one month rent have, lto cheapen than 120$ hotell/day, or about 35$/day
Love your videos! I lived in Thailand for 10 years and met my wife there (we now live in the USA). We can't wait to come back after covid-19. We just subscribed and hope you'll reciprocate. Keep your great videos coming!! Gar and Ann

Phuket has the highest cost of living of any province in Thailand.

so thats considered the most expensive place in thailand?? everything is still %80 percent cheaper than where im from lol. looks like i need to move!

As a Thai, phukhet is the one of the most expensive provinces in Thailand!
my self would consider the province as pricey as living in one of the European countries.

How is that fact fun?
