What Should I know Before Flying to Phuket?
Phuket is Thailand's top beach destination - enjoy the white sands (Patong, Kallong), the clear waters, and a day trip to nearby islands such as Phi Phi Island or James Bond Island. It's very laid-back here, but there are many things to do: rent a motorcycle to explore the hidden bay, taste street food (Thai fried rice noodles, mango glutinous rice) at the night market, or go to the beach for a massage to relax.
Bring light and breathable clothes, sunscreen and reusable water bottles. Note that it is very hot throughout the year (80–95°F/27–35°C), and monsoon season (May–Oct) brings brief afternoon rains.
- Entry Requirements:
- U.S. citizens: A passport valid for more than six months, plus a Thai visa on arrival (up to 15 days, approximately $30) or a pre-arranged tourist visa (30 days).
- All visitors: Fill out a TM.6 arrival card (given on the plane) and have a return ticket.
- Time Zone: UTC+7. 12 hours ahead of New York (ET), 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles (PT)—jet lag hits hard, so plan to rest the first day.
