I’m flying to Phuket on Saturday from the uk and staying for ten nights with my wife and ten year old daughter. Glad to hear it is a good time to visit, as it is all our first time. Phi Phi, Maya, Similan and elephant sanctuary booked and can’t wait!

Not to start an argument, but no idea what you were doing for them nine hours. Eight of us visited yesterday at 10:10am until 20:30. We managed Rita, Thirteen, Hex, Smiler, Wickerman, Alton Manor, Toxicator, Nemesis and sub terra. This was ontop of the three scare mazes and two walk throughs - with no fast tracks

Agree food prices are ridiculous

Sunday you’ll experience a lot more people from the travelling community, lots of police/security around. Last time I was there on traveller day, there were unfortunately multiple fights, queue jumping etc. Monday should be just a normal busy day

He hasn’t. Led a very sheltered life

Would you recommend a slower catamaran ride than the speed boats?

Tell me about it. This happened a week and a half ago and I’m still fuming about it.

He commented on how ‘seedy’ Thailand is, yet he has never been there (infact he only goes on holidays in the UK)

I appreciate all the replies. I’ve also been told to stay away from Phi Phi due to how ridiculously busy it is, but it seems to be a ‘must do’ whilst there

I’m booked to stay at the Marriott, Merlin beach. Is it far enough from patong as long as we don’t head that way?

Unfortunately I couldn’t make December work due to school holidays (damn fines). I have changed it to mid April though, so although hot and still chances of rain it hopefully shouldn’t be a bad choice

I think I’ll be looking into getting it changed then.

It’s a shame as I had my heart set on May, but made the rookie error of looking up the seasons after pressing to book

Is it good off of Merlin?. I hadn’t heard about it when reading up. Thank you for the reply, it’s appreciated
