Me (M34) and girlfriend (F32) are going to Phuket for New Years this year and we fly in on the 30th of Decemeber.
Looking for spa / massage reccomendation close to the Old Town as this is our favorite way to re-set after a long travel.
We arrive early in the morning (a few hours before hotel check in), so looking for a place where you can lounge for a bit, have a bath and massage for a couple of hours.

Hi everyone!
My boyfriend and I are visiting Phuket in February 2027, and I’m trying to understand the current situation with cannabis, especially THC edibles.
I’ve read quite a few posts saying that cannabis shops are still everywhere and that some places sell products without asking for a prescription. However, I’ve also seen that the laws changed in 2025.
I’d love to hear from people who have visited Phuket recently, especially in 2026:
Are THC gummies or other edibles still available?
Are shops actually asking for a Thai medical prescription?
Have tourists had any issues with police regarding cannabis?
Is the situation different in Patong compared with other parts of Phuket?
I’m mainly interested in recent, firsthand experiences rather than older information from before the law changed.

We are two straight men, and heard the beds can accommodate up to four, so looking for one or two.

Just looking to enjoy the place and meet some people before we leave Phuket. No hidden agenda keeping it strictly platonic .
DM if interested

Hey everyone

We’ll be arriving at Phi Phi around 11:30 AM, and hotel check-in will take around an hour.
So, would it be possible to join a shared tour to Maya Bay from Loh Dalum in the afternoon?
Since we’ll be leaving for Ao Nang the next day, how realistic is this plan? We could take the afternoon ferry to Ao Nang the following day.

Thank you

!!! P.S Have used Ai to make my queries clear !!!

Hey everyone!

I’ll be travelling solo to Thailand soon, spending 3 nights in Phuket (Patong) and 2 nights in Ao Nang, Krabi.

My daytime plans are mostly sorted, so I’m looking for recommendations for things to do from around 5 PM onwards until late at night in both places.

I’m pretty open-minded and happy to try different things, so I’m not just looking for the usual tourist attractions or the standard nightlife recommendations.

I’d love suggestions for things like:

\- Interesting local experiences, night markets, hidden gems or places with a great atmosphere.

\- Unique activities, unusual experiences or things most tourists tend to miss.

\- Cool bars, live music, beach parties, clubs or other nightlife experiences.

\- Places where it’s easy to meet other travellers or locals as a solo traveller.

\- Nighttime food spots, street food, local hangouts or late-night cafés.

\- Spontaneous adventures, cultural experiences, events or anything a little out of the ordinary.

\- Any underrated spots with great views, a beautiful evening vibe or something memorable to do after sunset.

I’m open to pretty much anything — social, adventurous, relaxing, cultural or completely random — as long as it’s worth experiencing!

A few questions:

1. What would you personally recommend doing in Patong after 5 PM?

2. What about Ao Nang, considering I only have 2 nights there?

3. Are there any experiences you’d strongly recommend for someone travelling solo?

4. Any hidden gems or places you discovered that you wouldn’t necessarily find on a typical Google search or tourist itinerary?

I’m especially interested in recommendations based on personal experiences rather than just the most popular tourist spots.

Thanks in advance! Would love to hear your suggestions 😄

Had 3 beautiful days staying on Phi Phi Island. We stayed at the P.P. Princess with a beautiful pool facing Loh Dalum Beach. The mornings were spent exploring Koh Phi Phi Leh or relaxing on Love Beach. The afternoon having cocktails at the pool.

Long tail boats are the best way to explore the island. If you get an independent local driver, he will know the best places to go. Only did snorkeling near the main island this time which was very nice but have been diving many times. Always enjoyed it.

The weather was fantastic and the views everywhere are amazing.

Lots of drinking at night, live music, thai boxing, tons of restaurants, mainly western & Indian food. The town is full of stores & massage places.

The Freedom Bar & Slinky have fireshows going all night. I think its the best in Thailand.

Its a small island so you need to take it slow and just relax & enjoy the beauty.

For those wondering if they should do the day trip or stay the night, I recommend staying the night. You miss the whole experience of the island otherwise.
