Guidelines for a 4-day trip to Phuket Island How much does a 4-day trip to Phuket cost?
Phuket is located in Thailand. It is a tourist resort with a suitable climate. The natural environment here is very beautiful and the marine ecosystem is well protected. You can experience the most exciting diving and floating sports here. Here are the Let’s share the detailed travel guide and price information for a 4-day trip to Phuket.
The sea is blue. Growing up in the hilly area of ??southeast Zhejiang, I always thought so. During the Spring Festival when I was eight years old, I went to the beach with my family for the first time, to the beach in Zhoushan. The moment I saw the sea, I almost wanted to cry, because the sea water was like the river next to the construction site, mud-colored.
I have always regarded myself as a "wise man" because I love water and will be very excited when I see the rippling blue water of the lake, not to mention that I have been in Dalian, Xiamen, Zhoushan, Xiangshan, Hong Kong's Repulse Bay and MacLehose Trail. I have seen the "sea".
This time, I finally had the opportunity to see the closest blue sea in my dream in Phuket Island and Similan Islands, Thailand.

Because it is a company trip, air tickets, hotels and visas are handled by the company's outsourced travel agency. , very worry-free. The itinerary was three days and four nights, two of which were spent on the plane and on the way to catch the flight. One of the three days was spent sleeping in the morning and having a meeting + team building + dinner in the afternoon. The second and third days were all free travel.
Flights:
It’s a red-eye. There’s nothing I can do about it. Generally, company travel only allows for four days before and after (two working days + weekends). I comfort myself that this time is better than last year’s trip to Taipei at noon. Going back in the afternoon, we have one more day to have fun in the local area.
Of course it is a red-eye flight
Tips for red-eye flights:
1) Prepare toiletries and contact lens solution in advance and remove makeup before boarding the plane Wash and remove invisible work;
2) Prepare neck pillows and ask for bed sheets and pillows in advance so that you can have a better rest;
3) Prepare iPad to download movies so that you can spend a long time A long night (_, I didn’t fall asleep the whole way there. After trying to fall asleep to no avail, I watched two episodes of Walker T_T)
Hotel accommodation:
This time, the company gave me We booked Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort in the southwest of Phuket and north of Karon Beach.
Arrived early in the morning, my first impression of Phuket after getting up early
This hotel experience provided me with important suggestions for booking hotels for my future free travel on beaches and islands.
I remember that when I planned a family trip to Xiamen two years ago, I stayed at a farmhouse in Zengcuo_. The accommodation was simple. After staying in a resort hotel this time, I still found that it would be better to book a beach vacation. A resort hotel is necessary.
First, the transportation is convenient and the ride-hailing service is convenient.
We went to Patong Beach for three kilometers, and the 11-seater car from the hotel cost 400 baht, about 80 yuan. The driver communicated privately and said that if you call me when you come back, it will be 300 baht.
The hotel has its own beach
Second, the hotel has its own beach, swimming pool, gym, sauna, tennis court, golf course, shooting range and many other recreational facilities.
If you want to be lazy and don’t want to go out, you can completely relax in the hotel.
On the first day, we arrived at the hotel at five o'clock. We slept until after 9 o'clock, and went to have a buffet breakfast. We couldn't stop thinking about it, so we strolled around the hotel beach, and then went to the leisure area. Playing table tennis and golf are fun.
On the morning of the last day, while waiting for our teammates who got up late, we were still high in the swimming pool, and we saw many friends carrying flamingos to have fun.
The hotel swimming pool is full of tropical style
Visa:
Because the trip was booked around July, it was just in time for the Thai government to impose restrictions on China and other countries The visa fee (approximately 230RMB) is temporarily waived for tourist visas from February 28, 2017 to August 31, 2017, so most of us have applied for our visas in advance in mid-to-late August.
A small number of people don’t have time, so they apply for a visa on arrival. Note that the price of a visa on arrival is relatively high (about 400RMB) and requires Thai baht cash.
Immigration:
The flight arrived at Phuket Tongka Airport in the early morning. I was groggy because I had not had a good rest, so I followed the crowd after getting off the plane.
One thing is very strange. The flight attendant did not give us entry cards on the plane. We entered the lobby and were reminded by someone before we looked around in confusion for the entry cards. During this period, some colleagues met local staff. It is necessary to charge Thai baht for the immigration card.
Not only is the entry card missing, but the pen is also missing (a weak reminder that it is a good habit to carry a pen with you).
The back of the immigration card
A group of us had never done any homework before, so we filled out the immigration card on the spot and asked each other for advice.
It was not difficult for us to fill in the name, date of birth, arrival flight number, passport, visa number, etc. on the front. But when we got to the first question on the back, flight type Charter (charter flight), we were confused, Xiao_.
Remember to keep the other half of the immigration card as it will be needed when you return and leave the country.
A colleague lost his other half and was asked by the staff to replace it and paid 100 baht. As for me, there was damage in my passport. When I left the country, the immigration officer was very cold-faced and asked me why this happened.
I thought that my behavior had damaged the dignity of other people and the country, so I apologized continuously. As a result, I discovered the truth in people's vague English pronunciation (a little hidden and hard to explain clearly): tip.
On the one hand, I was dissatisfied with this behavior, and on the other hand, I spent my last baht before entering the airport, so I continued to act stupid and continued to talk nonsense, and finally I was shamelessly let go.
Eat, drink, and have fun
Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, rambling so much, I finally want to start introducing the main topic, what to play and what to eat.
The highlight of course is roaming around the Similan Islands. Here is a picture of the barefoot climb on Similan No. 8 Island:

I just wrote the word roaming, and suddenly I felt that these two words are so subtle that they are very suitable to describe this short one-day trip.
Itinerary from a certain treasure
This is really a long day.
Go back and rest as early as possible after the company dinner the day before, because you have to meet at the hotel at 5 a.m. that day.
Several groups of our colleagues have booked this itinerary, but the 11-seater nanny car used to pick up and drop off is selected based on pre- and post-registration, and the destination is the same.
I was drowsy and caught up on my sleep along the way. After three hours of sleep, I stopped at a service area to use the restroom and went into a FamilyMart convenience store to buy things. Surprisingly, there was also a FamilyMart store here, and the prices were quite affordable. .
After arriving at Tapulamu Pier, we waited for almost an hour for the entire boat of tourists to arrive before we started setting off.
When we boarded the speedboat from the pier, our shoes were put away because it seemed that it was not allowed to wear shoes on the beach for fear of pollution.
The beauty of Similan comes from its isolation
Similan Island is only open for half a year (October to April of the following year) and is located in Anda, 90 kilometers northwest of Phuket, Thailand. In addition to the nearly 3-hour drive to Manhai, "it takes another 3 and a half hours after getting on the boat."
When we heard this from the Thai tour guide who could speak Chinese, we were so excited that we were so excited. The whole day was spent going back and forth. Later, the little brother explained that this meant 90 minutes, which is one and a half hours, and I felt a little relieved.
I felt the sea breeze from all directions on the sea. I fell into a drowsy sleep all the way. When I woke up, I finally saw the color of the sea that was different from the pier. The kind of blue was a blue that I had never imagined. The ubiquitous blue of the sea in "Zhao Li" made me excited to dive in even though I couldn't swim. Of course, it just happened to be the right time for snorkeling.
The place where I snorkeled for the first time in my life
The sea and sky are vast, and people are really insignificant in it
Oh, I almost forgot to say in excitement, this is My first time snorkeling, my first time without knowing how to swim. I have been reading posts on the Internet for a long time, and I spontaneously thought that it was okay, there is always a first time in life;
A certain treasure bought a snorkeling treasure and added it to the shopping cart, but finally didn’t buy it and put it on for public use. of. So I went like that. I was still scared when I entered the water. As soon as I entered the water, I yelled that I wanted to get in. My colleagues laughed at me all day long.
Seeing those friends who could swim freely "flying", I could only take the float held by the tour guide and the captain to look at it occasionally. I didn't use the three treasures correctly, so I drank Several mouthfuls of sea water, it’s so salty.
Well, as for underwater, it doesn’t seem to be as rich as what you see in the aquarium.
Before going, everyone said it was possible to see turtles. In the end, after snorkeling twice, I only saw a few groups of small colorful fish. The corals were all the same color, just like the bare trees in winter. I didn’t have enough equipment and didn’t take much photos. Trust me, the sea water is the most beautiful there.
White sand beach, this is the standard of the sea
Looking at the sea
After snorkeling, we went to Island 4 and had about half an hour of free time. .
I did something I have always liked, sitting on the beach and surfing. Looking out was the sea with several colors. The waves came one after another, and I could hardly sit still. After the tide went out, The sand moves, and it really feels like you own the whole world.
Walk on the waves
Beach
Near noon, we went to the highlight of the whole trip, Island No. 8. Near Island No. 8, the tour guide said that we can have lunch here and also suggested going up the mountain to see how many colors the sea has.
The tour guide started selling beach shoe covers, and they were sold out when I arrived. I was barefoot and thinking about whether to go up high. When I learned that it would take half a round trip, I immediately felt like going up. Fortunately, I had a colleague to accompany me, so I embarked on my first barefoot climb and it turned out to be worth it.
Climbing up to No. 8 Island
Climbing up and looking into the distance
The Chinese food is relatively simple, the taste is average, and the dining environment, well, it is like fighting guerrilla warfare, because from time to time A lizard crawled across.
After climbing up the mountain with bare feet, I was really moved by the beautiful scenery. I took photos casually, and almost every photo was on my desktop.
At that moment, my illusion of arriving at the beach really came to fruition and turned into a sense of solidity.
Before the end of the trip, we experienced snorkeling for nearly an hour.
Once again, I realized that I had to seize the opportunity several times before it was over, so I stayed underwater, following the almost motionless floating board, which was not exciting, and asked the tour guide to take me around, huh? , the captain was swimming in front, holding a floating board. I wore a life jacket and walked around with my hands on the floating board, and finally had fun.
The return journey was as long as the outbound journey. I slept during the 1.5-hour boat ride. After arriving at the dock, I was excited for the 2-hour return journey. I chatted and posted on Moments. It's been a long day, and that's true, because we still have a lot to plan when we get here.
Next, we go back to the hotel to change clothes, and then take a taxi to Patong Beach for food, our seafood dinner, and nightclub partying.
Seafood dishes cost 100RMB per person, but of course it’s much more than that
A lot of us don’t usually like to go clubbing. After going to Taipei last year and getting interested in going to the bar, we are planning to do so this year. With this plan, a group of colleagues can be taken care of when they go out, which is a kind of travel experience. So we went around Patong Beach to experience it, and finally chose a seemingly larger ILLUZION, and bought a ticket for 800 baht (RMB160) including drink refills.
After entering, I discovered that it was on the list of the top 100 nightclubs in the world. Of course, my friends said it was not as exciting as Shanghai, but it was still a dancing experience.
Dancing in the nightclub
We ended our happy hour at about 2 o'clock and returned to the hotel to rest.
After a long day, we planned the last day's itinerary relatively loosely. I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning. The young people in our room naturally woke up at 9 o'clock, so after breakfast, I started playing table tennis golf, and by the way, I finally went to the swimming pool that I had been dreaming about.
Wouldn’t it be a pity not to have a pool party with such a beautiful view?
After spending a whole morning of leisure time, a bunch of people packed their luggage and stored it at the front desk at noon, and set off again to the bustling city of Patong. , eat to your heart’s content at Banzan Seafood Market, experience a Thai-style horse-killing chicken at Let’s
Relax, and shop for snacks at Jiangxi Cold Goods.
Banzan Seafood Market, the first floor is a real market, and the second floor can help with processing. With the help of our bargaining experts, we had a cost-effective meal, 70RMB per person. We got all kinds of crabs, lobsters and shrimps.

Price list:
We chose a 2-hour massage at 1,200 baht
Let's
Relax is a mid-to-high-end Thai massage parlor in Thailand. It has two branches on Phuket Island, both near Patong Beach. We made an appointment in advance for a 2-hour Thai massage at 1,200 baht (240RMB) on the official website (space is limited, it is recommended that you make an appointment in advance, either on the official website or by phone two days in advance).
This was really two hours in heaven. It was raining heavily outside. We were in a comfortable room, enjoying the exquisite skills of the masseurs. By the way, I also had a satisfying nap, and I was so excited to return to Shanghai. I must go to Thai Massage again. Of course, the price/performance ratio is not as high as over there.
Then we went to Jiangxi Leng, the largest shopping mall in Phuket. The famous shopping malls in Thailand are latex pillows, bras, medicines (Thailand law stipulates that there cannot be fake medicines), coconut oil, and snacks (such as Little Boss seaweed).
We had a clear goal. We bought the British N07 ice cream mask, a large box of vitamin C, tiger patches, and various ointments at Boots; then we looted snacks, coconut oil, etc. in the supermarket.
I bought a 250ml bottle of extra virgin coconut oil for more than 70 yuan. I used it as body lotion and hair care when I got home. Now I always regret not bringing more bottles.
In the evening, we casually found a Western-Thailand restaurant in the shopping mall, wandered around and then returned to the hotel. We left for the airport around 11 o'clock, cleared customs, and went home.
Although it was a short four-day and four-night trip, it may be because we had a relatively full schedule and it was a red-eye flight, so it felt like we had been away for a week.
This trip made me feel that four or five days on the beach in Southeast Asia is actually quite sufficient.
After this trip, and comparing my mother’s wish to go to Hainan, I plan to organize a family trip next year and take my parents to an island in Southeast Asia. Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam are all good ones.
In a word, this time I finally discovered that the other side of the mountain is not a mountain, but the sea; the other side of the sea is still the sea!
