Phuket Nov 1–18 🇹🇭 | 28M Solo Traveler – Looking for Fun People to Hang Out With

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m 28M from Saudi Arabia, traveling solo to Phuket from November 1–18, and looking to meet some fun, outgoing people to enjoy the trip with!
I’m really into nightlife, beach clubs, parties, exploring new places, trying new activities, and spontaneous adventures. Basically, anything fun and exciting!
I’d love to meet like-minded travelers who speak English comfortably so we can easily communicate, hang out, party, and plan some cool activities together.
I’m chill, open-minded, easygoing, and always up for a good laugh. Whether you’re traveling solo or with a group, I’m down to join!
If you’ll be in Phuket around those dates, drop a comment or DM me. Let’s get a fun group together and make some unforgettable memories! 🌴🍻🔥

Recommendation Recommendations and advice please

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! ☀️🌴

My partner and I are visiting Phuket from 20th November to 6th December, and we’ll be staying at Diamond Resort in Bang Tao! 🇹🇭
We’re looking for recommendations on the best things to see, do and eat while we’re there!
We’ve already got a few things on our list, including visiting temples, exploring night markets, an elephant sanctuary, Monkey Hill, and watching the sunrise and sunset. 🐘🌅
There are also a few places we’re considering, but we’re not sure whether they’re worth visiting:

Carnival Magic
Jungle Xtreme Adventure Park
The Rabbit Hole
The Hidden Café
Thai fight
Thai cooking class

Has anyone visited these places? Would you recommend them, or are there better things to do?
We’d also love to hear about any hidden gems, beautiful viewpoints, fun activities or places that you think are a must-visit!

Also is it best to book while you’re there in person or book in advance?
We’re open to pretty much anything and would love to make the most of our two weeks! 🥰
Thank you in advance! ❤️

27F | First international trip – Need help with Phuket, Krabi & Phi Phi itinerary

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm 27F from India, planning my first international trip to Thailand this November for 8 days.

Thinking of covering Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi, but a bit confused about how to split the days and what all to include.

Would love some suggestions on must-visit places, fun activities, hidden gems or even things I should skip.

If you've been there recently, please share your experience or itinerary. Would really help. Thanks! :)

Question Heat acclimatisation is said to take 10-14 days of regular training. If you train on Phuket, how long did it take you?

1 Upvotes

The figure I keep finding for heat acclimatisation is 10-14 days of regular training. Until then the body sweats less efficiently and loses more salt in sweat than it will a month later.

For scale: the ACSM range is 0.5-2 litres of sweat per hour of exercise, and a morning class in an open-air gym at 30 °C with humidity over 80% sits near the top of it. For someone at 80 kg that can mean 1.5-2 kg down on the scale after an hour, even when drinking during the session.

So two sessions a day in the first week looks like the most reliable way to end up feeling bad "because of the heat".

For people who moved here or come back every season: how long did it actually take before training stopped feeling brutal, and what made the first two weeks easier for you?

Question Counsellors you'd recommend for mental health issues?

1 Upvotes

We're quite aware that mental health takes a backseat here. I'm diagnosed ADHD and BPD and getting my regular meds is another pipe dream.

I'm looking for a non-judgmental therapist you'll personally recommend. Sometimes Google reviews feel forced.

Do you have a psychiatrist or a counsellor to recommend?

My DMs are open, and if you message me, I'll send you a picture of my cat.

Thank you so muchies ❤️

First time in Phuket with a toddler: Which area for a quiet family stay?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We're a group of 6 adults and a 3-year-old, and we're flying to Phuket in March. It'll be our first time in Thailand. Our flights are already booked, and now we're looking for accommodation. Since we have no idea which area would suit us best, I'd love to get some advice from you.

We'd like to avoid parties, loud music and strange smells (which, according to Google, is the case in Patong).

What we're looking for: beautiful beaches, a family-friendly area, restaurants, a gym and food delivery.

We're staying for 12 nights. Also, which islands should we definitely not miss?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Question Budget Phuket/Krabi

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m going to Thailand with my girlfriend for 13 days — 8 nights in Phuket (Kata Beach) and 5 nights in Krabi (Ao Nang).
We’re trying to figure out how much money to budget per person for the whole trip. We’ll eat at local restaurants most of the time, have drinks and alcohol a few times, and do some tours and activities, including the 4 Islands Tour in Krabi. We’d also like to have 2–3 nicer dinners, maybe at restaurants by the sea, but we’re not planning to eat at expensive places every day.
How much would you recommend bringing per person for food, drinks, tours, activities and local transport for the 13 days? We want to enjoy ourselves without being too cheap, but we don’t need luxury either.
Thanks! 🙏
