Of all the places to stay in Phuket, unless you want to party, why would you recommend staying in Patong? The wonderful thing about Phuket is the different areas offer different amenities in different budgets to pretty much accommodate any type of travel except discount being as Thailand is also feeling global price increases. Patong beach for example is just the same as Pattaya with little shade and too much clutter. If you are one for sun bathing heading south is nicer, places like Nai Harn offer shady areas and relaxing shops to grab fresh Thai food while the beach is clean and accessible. Phuket is great and Thailand is amazing. The coolest thing about it here is the diversity of locations and how close they are to one another.
I’m not knocking your content I just wanted to share this perspective. Great video, awesome quality 👏
100 THB with the Smart Bus, nice sightseeing-tour and not expensive, Phuket is a real Touristic Spot, I love Thailand 🇹🇭, like it more quiet 😊😊and yes the smell at Suvarnabhumi is special 😊, see you and stay safe 🙏🏼🇹🇭
Thank you klaus see you soon 😊
I took the Smart Bus from Patong Beach to airport , took exactly 1 hour 15 minutes , easy and nice views .
Thanks for your sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you too
Hotels in Phuket are relatively cheap compared to western countries, and you dont need 3000 baht a night to have a good time, i can spent around 1500 baht on bangla road and have a good time, the best exchange booth is on the corner of bangla road and beach road the one you showed in the video,they give you the best rates, some things are expensive but ive been going there every year since 2000 and i love it,best to go in off season.
Good for you enjoy and stay safe
This is correct I was able to get 35.20 baht at that same location
May is off season for thailand ?
@@planetfacts2530 November - April are considered peak season. Late summer, April - June is very hot and humid with scattered HEAVY rain showers. Off season (July to October) is monsoon season.
In short, May is the beginning of the off season, but will likely still be busy and also very hot and wet. I'd wait until winter in November for the best tourist population and comfort levels.
I got home yesterday from a two week stay in Bangkok and Patong. Average temp was 34 -35 degrees Celsius with 78% humidity. It was very busy in both locations.
I did not want to leave.
When I return next year, I will wait for Songkran, the Thai New Year celebration April 13-15th.
Great and helpful video 👍
Thank you

Thanks,,Arsen,,another,,great,,video,,😊
So nice of you
Great vlog
👍
👍👍 Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Thank you Arsen!!
Just saved me a massive headache and countless wasted baht.. I will pass on Phuket this trip until things calm down 🤦♂️
I ll be traveling this week to a better place and share here so check it
Nice sum up of Patong brother. Personally, I like swimming at the beach & beach volleyball is fun when sand don’t get in your eyes 😆 It was nice meeting you here in Phuket. Keep up the good work!🎉
Thanks for sharing
Hello, I love your videos so much and they are so helpful. Have you done any videos on Rangsit in Thailand?
Hi Arsen,
Patong Beach is very good for swimming.
The water is great.
Problem is the crowed beach.
Greetings from Mahasarakham Thailand
Thanks for the tips!
Patong is always like that. Now only more crowded. So it depends on what you want. If you’re into nightlife then sure there it is. Looks like Patpong in Bangkok couple years back. But it’s still possible to have a vacation in serene area,
enjoy deep blue sea and relax. How about Koron Beach or Nai harn? There are so much to offer nature and history. See where the good hotels or villas are not nightclub then it’s really different world
Thumbs up 👍 Arsen
👍
Tip for everyone:
If you travel with airasia with less than 7 kg you just need to "check in" in the app and go inside with the mail they send you and passport....no line
In this period there are some jellyfish in phiket...be carefull...
Thanks for sharing
Very good video Arsen. I would normally spend 2 weeks in Phuket on my trips but have been spending only 3-4 days there on recent trips. It has become too crowded, noisy and expensive. Probably will bypass Phuket altogether this August and go somewhere else.
Well watch my next vlog .... and see what's better than Phuket
@@LiveLoveThailand Krabi 😬
Very nice editing, lesson for vlogger. keep it up.
Appreciated
We spent 1week in Phuket after 4 days in bangkok & 6 days in chiang mai in jan/ feb. We were in Kata beach which was busy but ok. However we will not do Phuket again . Next time we will explore the more island locations . So much to see
Tx for sharing your experience with us greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭
Great Stuff Arsen. I love 0:28 beached whale. Over priced Over Crowded why go there?
Hehe really
Glad I went to Krabi where it was super chill. I stayed on Railay, which is only accessible by boat, which knocks down the tourism a lot. You can also do pretty much the same boat trips from Krabi, leaving from the beaches there. I need to see what other parts of Phuket are more chill so I can do my next trip from that side and hit other islands.
Exactly
Live Love ThaiLand Love live Arsen ❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍺🍺🍺
The best
Hi Arsen , Really Enjoyed, Very Informative...Love love love Thailand 🇹🇭❤
❤

Is there a place you would recommend to live that is not overcrowded but not far from night light?
What was the alternative city? I couldn't really understand how to spell it.
Is it safe to get a tattoo in Thailand? What are the safety/health standards like there?
Seems like Phuket is becoming a Pattaya !!
Go anywhere but Patong
Thanks...coming Thailand for about 5 years....never been in Phuket......and I think will not go for a long time.....
Many more beautiful places in Thailand
Have fun!
Victim of its own success. Was perfect there in covid.. peaceful
I was one of the lucky ones who could enjoy Phuket during the Pandemic in 2021. I did stay there for 1 year! It was the paradise on earth at that time.
Then I travelled there again in June/July 2023. Even it was low season, Phuket turned into a night mare. It was packed with crazy people (mostly Russians, Indians). In high season it is even more crowded and it becomes extreme expensive. Never will go there again.
Tx for sharing your experience with us us , I agree I was there too couple of times in the pandemic, and yes, I remember walking alone at 9 am on patong Beach ..
😊😊😊😊👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
👍
I thought the food in Thailand would be cheap 2-3€, so not in Phuket 🤔
Not Phuket 😄
Oh, did not know there 's a smart bus! They did not have it years ago when I went. Good to know!
❤❤❤❤
❤️
Very informative video 👍🏻 I''ll be in Thailand in 10 days.. Looking forward ❤
Is there anyplace to store a large piece of a luggage on the blue bus?
Yes in front
Done patong twice so going to leave Thailand out next year and booked new york and krakow for next year to so maybe come back in 2026 and come back in the off low season and do somewhere much different
Good for you enjoy
Thailand is getting very expensive in general. The Thai people are lovely but they’re desperate to get your money. Phuket is a great place to base yourself for a holiday. Plenty of things to do like day trips and places to see not to mention all the wonderful food options. Never had a problem swimming in the sea but the water isn’t the clearest you will see on your trip. You can always find cheaper options and it’s a great place to stay. Bangla Road is a tacky tourist trap but you don’t have to go anywhere near it to have a good time.
Maybe it’s even the time to skip Thailand and go to Vietnam or Laos. First flew into Bangkok more than 35 years ago and it’s clear to see Thailand has changed. Not for the better.
The world is more expensive since covid if you think thialand is exspensive try london or new york thialand ain't exspensive if your sensible with monry
Thailand is nice, but also check out Cebu, Palawan, and Bali
👌
🥰❤️
👍
Kata beach was so much nicer (but still thick with Russians).
Prices lower, tattoos cheaper (Kang's), beach really chill, but still easy to get to Patong. Smart bus is the best.
Don't you normally stay at a resort just north of Patong?
Yes but this time my wife was not with me, so no car , that's why I chose that location
This is why I like Arsen's channel - he asks the hard questions for us so that we don't have to.
Most welcomed stay safe
The entire Phuket island isn’t like this mainly the southern part of the island and the west.But wen u go up to the northern part of the island or even the eastern part of the island it’s different
For day trip from Phuket, is it Koh Phi Phi or James Bond island better?
Both are good deoends in you
@@LiveLoveThailand ok. Thank you
Been 4 times. Never had to wait to be seated in a restaurant.
We are arriving Bangkok next week and need to get to Jomtien, can you recommend the most convenient way to get there?
Take the bus 🚌 from the airport or ekkamai bus station
@@LiveLoveThailand Thank you!
Take airport bus service from BKK to Jomtien around THB 150 per person. You can also book a private cab for around 1200 THB for a group of 3
Another Great vlog 👍
Bro do a video on 48hours in Bangkok at weekend (cost of hotel, food, nightlife & transport).
Will try
👍@@LiveLoveThailand
Such a shame.i went to Phuket 40 years ago and it was much less developed. Bangla road wasn’t this madhouse.
Phuket is so different to how it was even just 3 years ago, I lived there for 7 years and it was a dream. It’s changed so much and it’s a real shame, it’s becoming how Bali has become 🥹🩷 it’s such a beautiful place but just full of too much going on
Even in low season? like July?
Not just Phuket, but all of Thailand and all of Southeast Asia is getting overrun by tourists. The word is out now how great it is in Southeast Asia thanks to TH-cam. So be prepared for prices to go up, queues to be longer and and just tons of tourists everywhere now.
It has nothing to do with youtube, there are thousands of other videos about more beautiful places, Phuket is corrupted since long time
exactly. I never knew until recently due to YT videos arriving unsolicited
It's not that it is so great, it's more that the west is turning to shite.
Arsen should offer his services as a guide
Guide ..... 😄
The title of this video should be "What to do when Leaving Phuket"
Good suggestions, but I have mentioned the things that you should know about Phuket Patong along the way
lol brilliant
How Phuket in September?? That when we going . So we can miss all the crowd . Thanks for the video and have fun be safe.
Ok but could rain
@@LiveLoveThailand yeah we check the weather of that time . We just wanted to know how it is in September. ?
Just look at the news, Phuket having too many issues with Farang acting badly...definitely not as good as it once was.
No issues with vaping?
Nope
Usually not!! But it's highly illegal in Thailand to vape and can attract a large fine and time in jail according to the law!! Anecdotally,you wouldn't know it😅
No hotel names ?
JB green PATONG
Phuket is a big island. It's not just Patong.
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
👍
It’s over and done.
👍
When you will learn to speak Thai brother, u live there!? 😊
Phuket is not near the top of my domestic travel options …
Surely Thailand has much better to offer
Hope all is ok not had a vlog from you for a while .. 🙏
Give me Patong over Samui and Krabi
Take it 😃
I was in Phuket in January…way too many Russians.
Now more ...
Too many
draft dodgers
At our resort in Kata, 90% of guests are russians, same on beach / anywhere else. It doesn't feel like Thailand anymore. Local people are talking to you Russian words to entertain you and sell you stuff..
@@PantherD12 (((( wonder how long before pootin claims theyre being persecuted and needs to annex the region.
Ohh they do sell disposable vapes on the street?
Yes
@@LiveLoveThailand but best to bargain right? Coz i heard the seller quote you 500baht.
@@LiveLoveThailandremember to dispose of it before you fly 😅
Promo SM 👏
The watered down drinks there is a joke. They earn a lot from tourist
Where was your wife?
In the south, will meet her there ... catch the vlog 😄
Why go to Phuket especially Patong chose anything else in Thailand🤮
I've heard nothing decent about this place or you're Russian...no thanks!
Thank you for your comment, if you watch the vlog amd my opinions about the things , you might reconsider your comment
sorry...my comment was supposed to read "unless you're Russian".@@LiveLoveThailand
No problem, but I mentioned that this place is getting from bad to worse ...
Soon, I will upload a vlog from a place that much better thank Phuket and Pattaya.
No need to be sorry we are here to share our opinions
You are awesome!@@LiveLoveThailand
I'm leaning towards Cambodia in November
