Voice of Travelers to Phuket
A family day in Phunket
When we decided to go to Phuket for a family day out, we never knew that it would be that stunning. We traveled by air using Air China airline. We had a fantastic flight with very friendly and pleasant staff. The pilot kept us updated at all times. The flight was smooth and comfortable, we would recommend it to anyone traveling on a tight budget as their ticket prices were reasonable. We visited the beautifully decorated Wat Chalong temple, Phuket FantaSea Show that was so entertaining. Finally, we ended the day by attending a wrestling match (Phuket's traditional sport) at Saphan Hin Stadium.
A trip to the Phi Phi Island in Phuket
My two best friends and I decided to meet in Phuket for a reunion after five years since campus. I went to Phuket with Bangkok Airways. Both the ground staff and cabin crew were pleasant and helpful. There was meaningful inflight entertainment, and they served us snacks. The flight was on time, we actually arrived at Phuket 15 minutes before the scheduled arrival time. We spent our first day at the famous Phi Phi Island. Our holiday was inspired by the movie, "The Beach" which was shot in Phuket, Phi Phi Island. The stunning island that is 40 km away from Phuket city center, had too much to offer. We first enjoyed one hour of snorkeling at Maya Bay. We then proceeded to explore the Viking cave. Finally, we had a fun time at the Monkey Beach.
