Guest User: Our family had a wonderful stay at OZO Phuket. The room was small but always clean and cozy. The best part for us was the fantastic swimming pool and slide—our kids absolutely loved it! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The location is perfect, with the Kata Night Market, 7-Eleven, restaurants, and massage shops just across the street. We highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a convenient and fun stay.

Guest User: The design of the hotel is crazy beautiful, there’s a feeling like you live in a Thai temple. The room was big enough and we had an access to the pool that was very convenient, because the beach is a bit far and we didn’t really like it. The breakfast is ok, can’t say much, there was always something to choose from for me, some fruit, 3 kinds of cheese, and some hot Thai dishes. And of course coffee. Things that I didn’t like are the price (it was a price of a 5 start hotel but I knew what I was booking) and the beach. I really don’t understand why Kata beach is so popular and so many people recommended me to go there. There are no beach bars or restaurants and it’s super crowded and everything is overpriced there. But it’s not the problem of the hotel.

Room 👍🏽Smart TV ❌ No full length mirror in the room If you prefer sleeping in or a more quiet room note that the room opposite the pool bar is subjected to people playing in the pool.

Guest User: This is a new hotel, very clean, and they even provide disposable razors (which many hotels in Phuket don't). They offer laundry and drying services and deliver clothes back to your room, which was super convenient when we were out and about. The front desk staff member spoke excellent Chinese! The location is right on Kata Beach and very close to Karon Beach. You can rent a scooter directly from the hotel, so you don't have to worry about getting ripped off. There are supermarkets and night markets nearby, making it very accessible with lots to explore.

📍Trip Overview This trip was purely for work! #worktrip
Kannya, a newly opened restaurant, focuses primarily on authentic Phuket cuisine, including some rare and unique dishes, as well as its own original recipes. The restaurant is decorated in the style of a traditional Phuket house, with wooden tables and chairs, colorful tiled walls and floors, and the characteristic arched windows and doors found in the old town. Beautiful wall art adds a touch of vibrancy. The menu offers a wide variety of choices. We tried a few dishes, including: 1. Phuket Local Dishes · Crab Curry with Betel Leaves: The curry paste is rich and flavorful, with fresh and firm crab meat. The taste is well-balanced yet spicy. · Braised Pork (Moo Hong): A well-known local dish. The Moo Hong is braised until tender, with a rich and flavorful broth. It comes with a side of slightly unripe pineapple, which is recommended to eat together to prevent the flavors from becoming overwhelming and allow you to enjoy more. · Fish Balls (or "Auan" as the locals call them): These bouncy, chewy fish balls are steamed and served with a spicy seafood dipping sauce, which enhances the mild flavor of the fish balls. 2. Recommended Dishes · Crab Roe Tofu: This was our favorite dish. - The flavors are mild and easy to eat, perfect for the rainy season. The crab aroma is strong, and there's a generous amount of crab meat, which pairs very well with the white tofu. · Yam Kanya: Crispy fried cowslip flowers served with a spicy seafood dressing. Delicious as a snack or with rice. · Fried Pomfret with Garlic: Although it's a simple dish, they fried it really well. The fish is fresh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant garlic aroma. It's very aromatic when eaten with hot steamed rice. Even though I've eaten at many Phuket restaurants and tried similar dishes... But for us, the taste is very similar to the food we ate as children. In addition, for those who like to drink, they have special drinks to choose from to pair with the food. · *The portions are large, suitable for coming with friends or family in a large group so you can try many different dishes.** · *Open daily:** Monday - Thursday: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM Friday - Sunday: 10:00 AM - Midnight 50 Thepkrasattri Rd., Talat Yai Subdistrict, Muang District, Phuket 83000 #hello365daysreview #Hello365Days

🌴 Experience this stunning oceanfront hotel in Phuket where the pool is right outside your balcony! We're checking out Zenmaya Oceanfront Phuket, a beautiful seaside retreat located on Kalim Beach. During our stay, we booked the Deluxe Seaview Pool Access room. The highlight for us was definitely having direct pool access right from our balcony. Whenever you feel like a dip, you just change into your swimwear and step straight into the water—no need to hike all the way to the main pool! But the real star of the show is the view from the pool. You get an uninterrupted, panoramic vista of the ocean. During golden hour, the atmosphere is absolutely magical. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves photography or just wants a relaxing getaway where you never have to leave your room. For dinner, we headed to Zeascape, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. We enjoyed some fresh seafood and drinks while taking in the sea breeze—it was such a vibe. We also had breakfast there the next morning, fueling up before heading out for the day. In our opinion, the best part of Zenmaya is the combination of pool-access rooms and those incredible sea views that make your stay feel truly special. If you're looking for a Phuket hotel to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you. 📍 Zenmaya Oceanfront Phuket at Kalim Beach, conveniently located between Patong and Kamala, Phuket. 🍽️ Zeascape Restaurant: Offers all-day dining whenever hunger strikes.
Visited Phuket many times before, but this time we decided to experience the island differently by staying on a small island. During the low season, we booked an independent loft for just over 1000, which was highly affordable. With a pool directly accessible, a living room, and two large beds across two floors, our family of four stayed very comfortably. The pier is near Phuket Town at Leam Hin Pier, where the hotel has a dedicated lounge. Showing your reservation allows you to take a free shuttle boat, a short 10-minute ride. Staff picked us up upon arrival and took us smoothly to the front desk for check-in. We booked a two-bedroom villa with pool access, highly recommended for families with children. It’s spacious, convenient for swimming, and incredibly cost-effective during the offseason. Since it’s an island, we mostly dined at the hotel. Opted for a two-day package with meals for four—it included breakfast buffets and a choice of three courses (appetizer, main, dessert) for lunch and dinner. The variety was decent, and we felt full with just one or two dishes each. However, options are somewhat limited, so many Western guests went off the island for a change in dining experience. Island life was calm and serene. Guests were few, meaning the pools were almost always empty. With direct pool access from our room, it felt like having a private pool every time. The hotel has two pools—the Shell Pool’s design is stunning and often occupied by foreigners reading during the day, so we went less often. The villa area pool is larger with sections and even has a slide, making it ideal for kids. The beach is shaded by big trees, and lounging on the chairs feels very breezy. Plenty of beach activities are provided, like volleyball, soccer, taekwondo lessons, and exploring the shore with provided tools. Hermit crabs were everywhere, much to the delight of the kids! There’s no kids’ club here, so they simply enjoyed swimming and the beach. Evenings were often spent playing at the pool. During our stay, we also tried the spa. I chose Thai massage, and my mom picked the oil massage—both were good quality, though on the pricier side. However, it’s worth trying if you have time to spare on the island. Two nights on Coconut Island felt just right, with a true sense of being away from it all. It’s a great spot for city-dwellers to unwind and families looking for a peaceful getaway from the crowds, enjoying a slower pace of life.
This was our second time staying at Four Points by Sheraton in Patong, Phuket, and for good reason. There are plenty of highlights that keep us coming back! The breakfast is incredibly well-prepared, the atmosphere is tranquil, the design style is appealing, and the restaurant serves fantastic food! Located at the quieter north end of Patong Beach, the hotel offers a peaceful vibe but remains within walking distance of busier areas, all at a fair price. What truly stands out is the architecture – modern and minimalist with a resort-like feel. Artistic touches are everywhere, from wall murals to sculptures, adding a unique charm. The murals display elements from Chinese culture, like peonies, fans, and tea canisters, which felt familiar and comforting every time we passed by. We booked a king-size room. Although not particularly large, it felt cozy and aligned with the hotel's harmonious design concept. The swimming pool is surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for both family fun and quiet relaxation. Near the lobby is the stunning Deck Pool, with its infinity design and expansive views. Accompanied by upbeat music, this spot had the perfect vibe each visit. For the kids, the "Little Sea Gypsies" club was a hit. Activities like pirate ship slides, block play, and DIY crafts kept them occupied endlessly. Our candle-making workshop was enjoyable, and the reasonable fees made it even better. Another highlight was the dining experience. Breakfast featured a rotating menu full of surprises. One morning, there were assorted rice balls (tuna, beef, shrimp, and more), while another day offered mini sandwiches with varied fillings. The option to make freshly squeezed juice added a nice touch. The effort and detail truly set this hotel apart. Although a bustling commercial street is nearby, we found ourselves dining at the hotel’s SEARS & CO restaurant thrice! Their burgers were a standout – thick, juicy, and wonderfully American. The Thai dishes like curried fish, Korean-style fried chicken, and pasta were equally impressive with reasonable prices. Our daily schedule felt blissful. After breakfast, we’d head to the kids’ club, enjoy lunch, relax a bit, visit the pool, have dinner, and stroll along the beach to the bar streets. Every day was just so relaxing! ✅ Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort 📍 Address: 198/8-9 Thawewong Road, Patong

InterContinental never disappoints; every stay brings surprises that exceed expectations! 🌴 📍Thailand · Phuket \ 🏨InterContinental Phuket Resort I discovered a resort in Phuket with a very distinctive architectural style! Compared to the typical blue skies and seas of island destinations, what attracted me more this time was the hotel's Thai-style architecture and the atmosphere of the courtyard at night. Especially after the lights come on, the whole scene really has a great sense of depth. ✨ 🌿 01 | Thai architecture is truly photogenic As you can see from the photos, buildings with Thai-style roofs are distributed on both sides of the courtyard. The layered eaves, the surrounding greenery, and the walkway extending through the middle make the overall scene both rich and orderly. The main building in the distance is particularly striking and is perfect as a subject for travel photography. 🌙 02 | The night atmosphere is absolutely stunning This night view is my favorite! With the dark night sky as a background, warm yellow lights outline the contours of the buildings. Looking down from a high vantage point, the spatial layers of the courtyard are particularly clear. Instead of deliberately pursuing exaggerated colors, the lines of the architecture itself and the lighting are more appealing. 📸 03 | Photography tips If you want to capture similar architectural night scenes, you can try: ▫️ High-angle perspective: Include both the building layout and the courtyard walkway in the frame. ▫️ Symmetrical composition: Use the central walkway as the central axis of the image. ▫️ Evening hours: Try shooting when the sky has not yet completely darkened. ▫️ Architectural close-ups: Focus on recording the eaves, lighting, and architectural details. Actual shooting locations should be subject to on-site open areas and photography regulations. 🏝️ 04 | 3-day, 2-night leisurely Phuket itinerary reference Day 1 | Arrive in Phuket Arrive at airport → Head to the hotel area → Check in → Free time in the evening → Enjoy the night view Day 2 | Island leisure day Leisurely breakfast → Explore around Kamala Beach → Afternoon rest → Shoot architecture and island scenery in the evening Day 3 | Relaxed departure Breakfast → Pack luggage → Arrange departure according to flight time The itinerary can be adjusted based on actual accommodation location, weather, and traffic conditions. 💡 05 | Practical tips ✔️ Views and configurations may vary by room type; it is recommended to confirm before booking. ✔️ Night view effects are affected by weather, lighting, and shooting location, and may not be exactly the same every day as in the photos. ✔️ If you plan to specifically photograph the hotel architecture, it is recommended to check in advance whether the relevant areas are accessible. ✔️ Hotel facilities, services, and opening hours are subject to official information. ✨ Final thoughts The charm of Phuket is not just about beaches and sunsets. Sometimes, a distinctive building or a courtyard walkway illuminated by lights can become an impressive scene during your trip. Friends who like Thai architecture, resort hotel design, and night photography might want to check out this hotel. 📍InterContinental Phuket Resort \ 📍InterContinental Phuket Resort
Upon arrival at the camp, staff greeted us and, after verifying our tickets, we were able to interact with the elephants. The camp has restrooms and convenient parking. The staff patiently taught us how to feed the elephants and introduced each one. The elephant we fed was 54 years old and had a very calm and gentle temperament. After interacting with the elephants, the staff explained that the next interaction, the Capibala, was at the coffee shop. Our package included a drink and a small canvas bag. The drinks were freshly made, including coffee and milk tea, and were very delicious, but be sure to ask for less sugar. The Capibala are in a separate area outside the coffee shop; they are very lively and adorable little creatures. Be careful to move slowly, as moving too quickly might frighten them. Overall, it was a very good experience.

RizfyaHanuman World is definately a place to go to for half a day of fun. The best was the roller zipline. i thought it was safe and normal but it was exhilarating. half of the time i was hanging onto my dear life. The luge was fun too. for those who like to race with friends, the luge is a fun way to do it. If u have time, the unlimited rides would be very worth it. Being afraid of heights, the skywalk was the scariest for me.
ChilliPadiChanI had an excellent day at Andamanda Phuket Waterpark. The park was beautifully designed, very clean and well maintained, with a great selection of slides, pools and attractions. There was something to enjoy throughout the entire day.I also booked a private Wave Cabana for the whole day, which was a great choice. It provided a comfortable and relaxing private space where I could rest between activities and keep my belongings safely nearby.The staff were friendly, helpful and professional, and the facilities were excellent. Everything was well organised, and the whole experience offered very good value for money. I had a fantastic time and highly recommend Andamanda to anyone visiting Phuket.
_TI***t2Tickets: Buying early is recommended for more choices; VIP tickets are highly recommended for a clear view of the front rows. Time: 4 shows daily, 18:00/19:30/21:00/22:30 Show Tips: The entire show lasts one hour, and photography is only allowed during the first act, so act quickly. The entire performance is song and dance, suitable for children. The choreography is clearly very well done, featuring dances from various styles including Russian, Japanese, Korean, traditional Chinese, and Hawaiian, ensuring there's no boredom. Photo Tips: After leaving the stage, you can take photos with the performers. Choose any of the rows outside; they're very cooperative and posed for photos. They are all beautiful, fair-skinned, and have long legs, so be prepared!
Anna ShangIt was a wonderful experience with the tiger. The area looks so precious. A good place to chill with friends, family or even as a solo traveler.
Shahrukh Shahriar BDShows was perfect and interesting. Just the mist on fans before the show a bit annoying. We enjoyed the show and performance.
Smithy WangThe show was incredible, food pretty average but huge selection, also Halal available. Not a fan of the elephants for rides and not sure how I feel about how they have been trained for the shows either...all the animals actually. Trapeze was the star of the show...still great show though
Mere n MaraeaGreat experience, totally worth the amount I paid for it. I purchased the general admissions ticket + buffet dinner for £8.87!! I didn’t think it was legit when comparing to the other ticket prices being closer to £40 but I arrived and everything was so smooth and easy. Really cute and fun night out. Really good for families, nice to experience as a solo traveller too.
Anonymous userI really enjoyed my time at Patong Beach. The beach has a lively atmosphere, and there was always something happening, from people playing in the water to vendors selling snacks and drinks. The sand was clean enough for relaxing, and the sea was warm, although it could get crowded during the afternoon. I stayed until sunset, and the view was beautiful with the sky changing to shades of orange and pink. After that, I walked around the nearby streets where there were plenty of restaurants, shops, and places to enjoy the evening. It was convenient because everything was within walking distance. If you prefer a quiet beach, this may not be the best choice, but if you enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with lots of activities, Patong Beach is definitely worth visiting. I would happily come back for another relaxing evening by the sea.
