Local Tips for Phuket
- Download Grab app for reliable taxi services - it's cheaper and safer than tuk-tuks for longer distances

- Book island tours through hotel concierge rather than beach touts to avoid scams and ensure safety standards
- Respect temple dress codes - cover shoulders and knees when visiting Buddhist temples like Wat Chalong
- Negotiate tuk-tuk fares before getting in, or use songthaew (red trucks) for budget local transport
- Try authentic Thai dishes like som tam (papaya salad) and gaeng som (sour curry) at local restaurants
- Visit Phuket Old Town on Sundays for the walking street market with local crafts and street performances
- Book spa treatments at hotel spas for authentic Thai massage - prices are still reasonable compared to UK
- Carry small denomination Thai Baht notes for street vendors and local transport
- Stay hydrated and use high SPF sunscreen - tropical sun is much stronger than UK, even on cloudy days
