Spending few days in Phuket can be very easy and comfy. If you have enough days, I recommended to cover all above mentioned lists. Locals over there are very friendly. They always willing to help you out. I must say that Thai nationals are very welcoming. Another important thing is that most of Thai people don’t speak English. Sometimes it can be very hard when we communicate with them. Installing a translate app on your phone can be very helpful before you travel there.

Night life at Phuket
Spending a night in Phuket is absolute cheerful. If you are not tired after daytime activities, go out at night to enjoy the wonderful culture. Every Thai personal is super nice. They get together in most weekend and sell delicious Thai streets food.
When we were in Phuket, we got a chance to visit a night market. Here is my experience about Phuket Night Market.
Actually we didn’t know there was a night market to our nearby hotel. Luckily our hotel manger told about the event on the same day. The event is not far from the hotel. We reached there within 5 minutes. Whole night was enjoyable. People are singing, toasting, selling food and dancing in every corner of a decorated narrow street. Street was full of locals and foreign crowd. The day was the last day of our tour in Phuket. We spend most of our Thai Baht to eat foods that we never ate before. It was a grate travel experience to both of us. We enjoyed it well.
Here are some pictures of the night at Phuket, Thailand. “Nightlife in Phuket – The Best Places to Indulge in Phuket’s Nightlife! ” article telling you about the night market places in Phuket.
