Just got back from Phuket and while it was ok .I would not go back . Hotel was very nice Beach was better than Legian but that was where it stopped.
The place is to limited in what you can do as in comparision to Bali ,Prices are higer by a factor or 2x to4x the cost of bali .
Shopping is dear again in comparision and the bargaining is a sham .
Just a few comparisions
Beer outside a hotel SML $3.5 Sprits $5.0 wine $$8 a glass
Massage 1 Hr $10.0 To $55 Dinner for was coatong about $80
Hand bags designer from about $50
Tshirts $8 shorts $12 watches $25 + Baseball caps $8 sunglasses $10 +
These are all min prices after bargaining .
But the main difference is the people and Bali is the place for that . Any way Have tryed Phuket and am now looking forward to go back to bali asap
