Phuket VS Bali, still struggling to choose where to travel? The difference between them is that ......

Location: They are all in the tropics.

First, let's look at the locations of Phuket and Bali through a map.

Phuket is the largest and earliest developed island in Thailand, located in the southwest of Thailand, on the Andaman Sea.

Many people think that Bali is a country, but it is not. It belongs to a province of Indonesia, located in central Indonesia. Bali is bigger than the average Southeast Asian holiday island, and its area is close to the whole of Shanghai.

Bali is hot and rainy all year round.

Bali is located near 8 south latitude and belongs to a typical tropical rainforest climate. April to September is the dry season in Bali every year, and it is also the most suitable season for tourism. The temperature in Bali changes greatly, and the temperature in Ubud or mountainous areas is lower than that in the seaside. Friends who plan to go bring thin coats.

The temperature in Phuket is high all year round, with dry season and rainy season.

Phuket has a tropical monsoon climate near 8 north latitude. The daily temperature is between 22℃ and 30℃. Now is the best time to go to Phuket, and many limited islands are only opened at this time.

Better price: Phuket.

Reason: fun, the climate is more pleasant.

Visa processing: visa-free, but landing visa

Bali visa-free

At present, Bali is visa-free, visa-free and visa-free. It is important to say it three times. After enjoying the visa-free policy, the stay period is 30 days, and the departure tax is levied with the air ticket. So as long as you have a passport valid for more than half a year, you can go at will!

Phuket needs a Thai visa.

Thailand needs to apply for a visa in two ways: visa on arrival and visa in advance. From the point of view of saving money, landing visa is recommended, because the mailing price is around 300 yuan, and landing visa is temporarily free until 2065438+April 30, 2009. However, considering that landing visa is free, there will be more people waiting in line. Guests who don't want to queue up can also choose to issue visas in China in advance ~ ~

This game is a tie.

Seascape scenery: all belong to the Indian Ocean.

Bali-Devil Island

Bali is located in the Indian Ocean. Two famous scenic spots, Errenzhuan and Haishu Temple, can see the endless Indian Ocean, especially the afterglow of the sunset in the evening shines on the silent sea, and it can be seen far away under the golden light, as if it were integrated with the scenery. Judging from the color of the sea, the blue of Bali is deep and quiet. Most beaches in Bali are yellow millet-shaped grains of sand. If you like walking on the beach, I'm afraid it's not satisfactory However, the sea is very rough, so Bali is a good choice for surfers.

Phuket-the Pearl of andaman islands

Phuket is located in the southeast of the Andaman Sea and belongs to the Indian Ocean, but the seawater and beaches here are far better than Bali. Emperor Island and Smilan Island, which have been welcomed by more and more tourists in recent years, will be pleasantly surprised after landing; The water is really beautiful, just like mint green jelly, and even in some places, you can see tropical fish when you look down; The beach is as white as fine sand, which is a paradise on earth. So when you come to Phuket, you must go out to sea to play once!

Better price: Phuket.

Reason: In terms of the clarity of water and the fineness of the beach, Phuket is slightly better. In particular, Smilan Island, which is only open for half a year, is definitely a place worth coming once in a lifetime. Whether snorkeling or deep diving, the crystal clear water is a pleasure.

Humanistic style: Ubud and Phuket Town

The local area of Bali is deeply influenced by Hindu culture, and people wearing traditional costumes will be seen performing religious ceremonies there. Every household will also offer sacrifices to the gods, and there will be a dance "Kochak" adapted from the traditional Indian epic "Ramayana" in the two lovers' scenic spot. If you want to feel the local culture, you must go to Ubud. If you visit palaces and temples, you can go to Ubud Palace and Shengquan Temple. Go to the art market to buy gifts, and then go to Ubud Art Center and Ubud Market.

Compared with Bali's strong religious atmosphere, Phuket does not seem to see much historical atmosphere, but it is not difficult to choose a chartered day trip to find the cultural and historical imprint of Phuket. You can visit the famous Buddhist shrines such as Chalong Temple and the Giant Buddha on the Peak in one day, and you can also go deep into Phuket Town, a weekend night market frequented by local people, or taste snacks or buy souvenirs. In Phuket, you can feel the simple and friendly Thais and their accumulated street and night market culture.

Bali, who likes cultural atmosphere, and Phuket, who likes lively street culture.

Highlight: Each place has its own unique local culture, so you can choose according to your own preferences. One thing to note is that when you are in the local area, whether you enter a temple or a palace, you should remember to abide by the local customs and do as the Romans do.

Accommodation options: first-class hotels and diversified hotels

First-class Bali hotel

As we all know, Bali is the first choice for many celebrity weddings. Over time, people's impression is that Bali has become a gathering place for many five-star resort hotels, no matter international brands: Bulgari, Intercontinental, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Banyan Tree and so on. Villa hotels are favored by many tourists, such as Ayana Villa Resort and Alila Villa Hotel. If you want to stay in a hotel with a good view in Bali, there is no upper limit on the price. The hotels here are famous for their privacy and luxury.

All-inclusive hotel in Phuket

Compared with high-end hotels in Bali, hotels in Phuket are characterized by diversification and high prices. You can choose domestic four-star hotels around 500 yuan, with the same "24-hour" star rating-Creste Swimming Pool Villa Resort 5 15 yuan/night, and online celebrity hotel-Tanya Dashanpo Hotel 4 16 yuan/night, without swimming pool.

This depends on everyone's pockets, but I think high-end hotels in Bali must experience it when they have the opportunity.

skill

From February to March, 2065438+2009, the price of going to Bali will be lower than usual, while Phuket is at the peak of travel, and landing visa is just free, so more people will go.

After chatting for a long time, do you have a clearer understanding of the two islands? If you want to play more, choose Phuket, which is relatively close and expensive to eat, live and travel. If you want to enjoy a leisurely holiday, choose Bali. You can choose from many high-quality hotels.

Of course, children make choices, the adult world, that's-
