Has anyone been to Phuket recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use

I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Trying to decide between this and Germany.

Cheers

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
