Phuket travel websites could be your saving grace

Phuket is high on many travellers' lists of places to cross off. The island is home to some of Thailand's most stunning beaches. There's diving, surfing and nightlife, plus Phuket has numerous places to eat and go shopping. Rather than going in blind, it makes sense to consult at least one of the Phuket travel websites offering information about the island.

Do a Google search for Phuket and you'll see thousands of Phuket travel portals all claiming to offer much the same thing. They all have information about Phuket hotels, beaches, islands, nightlife and restaurants. Knowing who to trust can be a difficult decision.

The first thing to look for when consulting a Phuket travel site is how old the site looks. Some of the websites about Phuket look hideous. People living in Phuket often decide to put together some kind of website offering information about one or more sides to island life.

If a website looks old and dated, it probably is. Why should you trust a webmaster who can't even take care of his or her own website and make it user-friendly and pleasing on the eye? You'll find numerous Phuket travel websites about nightlife that fit this bill. They contain old information and a few pictures of go-go dancers.

Some of the best Phuket travel websites can be found in the form of forums. Got a question? Ask the forums. Expats and travellers alike will be all too willing share their knowledge with you. Check out Lonely Planet's Thailand forum or the Phuket form on Thai Visa.

The island's news websites generally aren't much use for getting travel information. The Phuket Gazette doesn't even report much news these days, leaving the gate open for Phuket Wan to become Phuket's primary news resource. You can get a good feel for current affairs from Phuket Wan, but you won't find much to help the casual tourist.

The big Phuket travel websites such as Phuket.com and Phuket.net contain a wealth of information. Phuket.net has one of the most modern and easily accessible interfaces of the lot.

There are also a large number of niche Phuket travel websites containing information about everything from surfing and diving to yachting and kayaking. Google is your friend in terms of finding these.

You'll soon discover that Phuket travel websites can help you break the island down into bitesize chunks, which makes planning your trip a whole lot easier. Don't take everything you read as set in stone and bear in mind that bars and restaurant close as frequently as new ones open.
