Quick question for the Phuket regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
