I have been researching my next holiday to Thailand and we have decided on travelling to Thailand’s largest island, Phuket.  The best time to travel to Thailand is between November and February so we will travel sometime between these months.  There is such a wide variety of Phuket hotels to choose from and although I would love to stay in a five star luxury resort, I am going to look for a more budget option of which there are plenty.  I am travelling with 2 other girlfriends.

We chose Phuket because the beaches are stunning, the weather is nice and warm and the culture is so different which will be amazing to experience.  We have heard that the Thai people are so friendly and warm that they really make the difference to your holiday.  Phuket is also famous for its nightlife which I am sure we will take the time to enjoy.
