We're from Dubai and have been to Patong, Phuket and Phi Phi island last month for 10days, our stay was very awesome and so relaxing. Thai people were very kind and hospitable, never experience to be scammed by them. Arsen is right, try to negotiate(bargain) for prices or fares. Explore the island and enjoy! Looking forward to visit Thailand again by next year.. Khop khun kha!
For Everyone's Information: Transportation in Patong has two standard prices - it amazes me most people have no idea of this - a Tuk Tuk is 200 baht to anywhere in Patong whether 300 metres or 3 kilometers...and a motorcycle taxi is 50 baht whether 300 metres or 3 kilometers...I always jump in(never discuss) and pay on leaving and have never had an issue - never - very simple and straight forward!! Thanks for the vlog and hopefully this helps some of your viewers🙏
Hey arsen , great advice as always, I have transited in Phuket 20 years ago , but have never come back , the scenery away from the island looks amazing , but sadly, it just looks like a tourist trap , a very expensive version of pattaya , may be I will come and stay at one of the islands near by for a few days , maybe phi phi , thanks again arsen 🙏
Nice filming. Guessing you are using a camera not phone. Over the bottle cap effect from phones. Cant even recognise my house when they do a drive by. Well done.
Hello I need some information guys.. Am coming to Thailand on 16june but I want to visit Phuket.. Can I buy the tickets directly to the airport BKK? And how much should be the kg of the small suitcase?
@@vincenzoniglioITALIAINTHEWORLD NOT Patong unless you want a consistent party atmosphere, prostitutes, the women there are not trustable, etc. Hua Hin would be much better to stay long term.
Wow i also stayed in sleep with me hotel, the same you. hotel is in good location and center but its little far from sea. I dont like patong's shape if you stay inside side, cuz there are only 2 main streets to reach to sea, not the same pattaya. You should walk more..
There's a grab outside it's like Uber thank me later I bought a bus ticket but I wasn't gonna wait an hr to get a ride to my hotel .go outside then go to the right it's a green little casita .lol but grab is the way
Please make a video on how to get a Grab taxi from the Suvarnabhumi airport to Sukhumvit or other places because I don't want to take the public taxis.
Why do people say phuket is expensive coming over from the uk i find it much cheaper then if you book to go to Spain the only thing i find expensive about Thailand is getting there once you get there its the best holiday you will ever go on am only back from patong in April and have already booked to go back next march the flights are really cheap to got a flight from phuket to Bangkok for £42 return and remember they are over 500 miles apart from each other so people think about it
@LiveLoveThailand I have been to both and find them both to be around the same prices my hotel in Bangkok for 3 nights is the same price as 1 night in London
I agree to bargain just if they ask way too much. Now for few dollars or euro… im never gonna bargain in a Country like Thailand. You go in your Balmain t-shirt and Hermes hat to bargain with simple workers who try to make few bucks… stay home if you are that poor. You pay at leat 3k to be there and bargain on dollars is so absurd …
Go to the front of Patong walking street not the beach side . On the left side there's a girl name May .she can book everything .did everything through her it was a breeze . If she sees this she really pretty too 😍lol.
Yes rent a bike, and get targeted by the Thai police and roll the dice that drivers around aren't drunk . I think not, I drive anywhere in Thailand but never in Patong. Use your better judgement.

this video was about thai people ripping you off...very hospitable 😂
I've never seen an emirate looking like a Philippino
@@hugoenrique9194 its emirati not emirate.. yes I’am Filipino living in Dubai, that’s why I said “FROM” Dubai, never said I’m emirati ☺️

Welcome
Amazing view, i have a plan to visit Phuket.

Arsen..thanks..for..the..tips..as.. always.. taking..notes..!!!😊😊
I always wait for your video
Starting Friday, you can now use Grab ride share for pickup at Phuket airport so there is (finally!) another way to get to your hotel.
Yes hopefully it will work 😀
I was there in Phuket on one of the cruise stops, and we used Grab so much cheaper than taxi

You missing important information. You can get relatively cheap transport via grab or bolt. I just took a moto taxi via grab the other night.
Where is the best place to exchange money in phuket? Should I exchange from airport or from Patong beach area exchange counters ?
Around patong is ok
😅wasn’t there for two decades or more, maybe next year, who knows, it’s a nice island but expensive as you mentioned, see you😊✌🏼 and stay safe 🙏🏼🇹🇭
Next time!
Third, but still on the podium - just😂😅🤣

Thank you for another informative video.
What's the name of the restaurant that you were at, the foods looked delicious 😋.

Indeed

I just spent 6 months here, I get shivers seeing all these places again 😂
Nice. So where you advice to live long term? PHuKET?
@@vincenzoniglioITALIAINTHEWORLD NOT Patong unless you want a consistent party atmosphere, prostitutes, the women there are not trustable, etc.
Hua Hin would be much better to stay long term.
How late are the money changers open at bkk arriving at 10:30pm
24/7
Wow i also stayed in sleep with me hotel, the same you. hotel is in good location and center but its little far from sea. I dont like patong's shape if you stay inside side, cuz there are only 2 main streets to reach to sea, not the same pattaya. You should walk more..

Hey Arsen I'm travelling to Phuket 27th December what's the best way to Patong from the Airport please 🙏 😊
Take the airport shuttle bus best way its outside if the airport you can check in my vlogs
I am coming to Thailand Bangkok 10 oct.where can I get original cosmetic (face cream,lotions) in cheap price
You could just buy from your home town then u pack them up😅
What about the golden tulip hotel in pukket
Good
Bro, show budget hotel and how much?
We have already made that you can check it on the channel
Please make a video on how to get a Grab taxi from the Suvarnabhumi airport to Sukhumvit or other places because I don't want to take the public taxis.
I'd be wary about eating the street food. I love seafood but I'm not trying to get sick.
Well eating at the street is much better than eating at 5 star restaurants, don't worry no one will get sick
Hotel name send
I found shoping in Phuket cheaper than Bangkok. Did anyone else have the same experience?
no way bangkok is way cheaper if you know the right place
Hotel names send
Which hotel you stay in phuket? And which floor?
All the red flags and surprising the authorities are not on top of it!!!
Nobody "does" a mistake. We make mistakes.
Why do people say phuket is expensive coming over from the uk i find it much cheaper then if you book to go to Spain the only thing i find expensive about Thailand is getting there once you get there its the best holiday you will ever go on am only back from patong in April and have already booked to go back next march the flights are really cheap to got a flight from phuket to Bangkok for £42 return and remember they are over 500 miles apart from each other so people think about it
It's expensive compared to other provinces of Bangkok, we can't compare Phuket to Las Vegas for example
@LiveLoveThailand I have been to both and find them both to be around the same prices my hotel in Bangkok for 3 nights is the same price as 1 night in London
I agree to bargain just if they ask way too much. Now for few dollars or euro… im never gonna bargain in a Country like Thailand. You go in your Balmain t-shirt and Hermes hat to bargain with simple workers who try to make few bucks… stay home if you are that poor. You pay at leat 3k to be there and bargain on dollars is so absurd …
Go to the front of Patong walking street not the beach side . On the left side there's a girl name May .she can book everything .did everything through her it was a breeze . If she sees this she really pretty too 😍lol.
One of the most common fail:
To believe the woman you meet there actually loves you for you, and not for money or fair-skin
Faite attention à ne pas vous faire arnaquer,les filles là bas sont toutes des menteuses, ne faites confiance en personne
Yes rent a bike, and get targeted by the Thai police and roll the dice that drivers around aren't drunk . I think not, I drive anywhere in Thailand but never in Patong. Use your better judgement.
Hehe
Wear a helmet and have an international driver's licence and police will not can not fine you .Young punks on power bikes flying around def an issue
70% is foreigners,,,,, 30% is Thai in Phuket✌️✌️🤟🤟👌👌
Single s stay away 😢😮😢
