"It's hard to describe how lucky we are to have been able to work with Stephanie in planning our honeymoon to Japan. From the very beginning, Stephanie was friendly, flexible, and an absolute wealth of knowledge. We had several meetings with her leading up to our trip to come up with the perfect itinerary. Throughout this, Stephanie was mindful of our budget, without sacrificing anything. During our trip, Audley was available at all hours to help with anything and everything which was such a relief to know we had that resource available to us. I truly cannot imagine having planned this trip without all of Stephanie's guidance and knowledge- and cannot imagine taking another big trip like this without the help of Audley. Thank you again!"

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

What travelers are saying

"We've taken over 10 group tours using Cosmos and Gate1. This trip last month, 9000 was not very good. -During booking, incorrect information was given about airport-hotel transfers -The whispers (listening devices) didn't work from the get-go, so no whispers were used during the 13 day trip. - Porters are no longer hired to bring your luggage to and from your room. (Very elderly had to handle their own luggage. Our friends had to help many of them.) -A few days into the trip one couple left. At the end of the trip we found out they had covid. Cosmos did not let us know; a few people weren't feeling well and two of our friends then tested positive. -One hotel was awful and not even up to "budget" standards -Many of the stops had castles, churches... but were not included, so be sure to count that in when pricing.  don't plan to use Cosmos ever again. Gate1 is the best in my opinion. When my husband's passport was stolen, they assigned someone to go with him to the embassy, translate, etc...It was above and beyond what we expected  "

What travelers are saying

"BUYER BEWARE!!! This company has a policy that if THEY cancel your trip…THEY get to keep your money and you get a credit the company. They cancelled my first trip..found out the hard way about their policy. Booked a trip…then had left over money so booked another…which they cancelled…again. Surprisingly…this time they offered a refund, but only gave me back the money I had put down…not what was left of “my credit”. So now I am forced to do business with a company I no longer wish to, that picks and chooses when to follow their own policy!! There are plenty of other travel agencies with similar tours…don’t give these guys your hard earned money for them to keep."

Phuket Tour Selection Trips

  • Phuket is quite large. It is possible to see the main attractions over a few days, but try to give yourself some extra time to enjoy the beaches and not rush.
  • Weather in Phuket is typically warm and temperate, but it can get stormy between May and October.
  • While a lot of the beaches do get crowded, it’s still very possible to find less well known areas to enjoy a secluded beach day. Ask your tour guide for advice on the best hidden beachs.

Additional details

Where is Phuket?      

Phuket is the southern province of Thailand, consisting of the largest island of the country with the same name and other small 32 islands. Lying on the western coast of Thailand with the Andaman Sea coastline, the island is connected to the north through Sarasin Bridge in Phang Nga Province.

Getting to Phuket      

There are three ways to approach Phuket; by air, through the bus, and on the ferry. There is only one airport in Phuket with one terminal for international flights and one terminal for domestic flights and is hence very crowded, especially during peak season. The airport is located in the north of the island while most of the tourist beaches are towards the south, so you have to take long rides to reach there.

You can hire a metered taxi right at the airport, but the better way is to have a pre-arranged taxi by your hotel or diving center. A cheaper way is to get into a shared minibus that will cost you four times less than the taxi but will first take you to the travel agent who tries to convince you to get into their accommodation.

For budget travelers, long distance buses are a good method of traveling, especially the night buses. If you book a daytime bus, you get the advantage of enjoying the surrounding scenery and local areas on the way. The bus terminal is in the main city, within walking distance of many hotels and guesthouses. You can hire a taxi to go further toward the beaches.

Phuket is an island, so another way to reach there is through a ferry. Not from all the places, but you can get ferries from Phi Phi Island, Koh Lanta Island, and Krabi. Located towards the east of the city, Phuket ferry terminal is not accessible on foot, but if you make an advance booking through a travel agent, they include your hotel to terminal transfer in the package.

What to wear

To have relaxed and entertaining Phuket tours, you need to pack something light and comfortable to deal with the tropical heat. During selecting your dresses, you need to be very careful about certain things. Because people here are really modest about their dressing. Your appearance and choice of dressing have an effect on how you get treated in Thailand.

Avoid wearing revealing clothes like spaghetti strap shirts, sleeveless shirts, etc. It is considered very inappropriate if your dress is revealing your cleavage or butt cheek. Swimwear is good only on the Phuket beaches, but as soon as you get out of there, you need to cover yourself with a cardigan or sarong, or can even change the dress.

When visiting a temple, make sure your shoulders are covered and legs to the knees. Locals are very strict about the dress codes in the temples.

Is Phuket safe?

Phuket is overall a safe place to visit like many other places in the world, and the crime rate towards the tourists is also rare. Most frequent are pick-pocketing and drinking scams that you can avoid by following simple precautions.

  • Avoid walking alone in dark alleys late at night.
  • Don't try to argue with any drunk locals.
  • Don't rent jet ski equipment as it is prohibited legally.
  • Never travel without travel insurance to avoid any accidental expenses.
  • Follow the dress code, especially entering religious buildings and temples.
  • Insulting the government or royalty is illegal, so be sure not to say anything about that.
  • Stay away from the drugs in every manner, or you might have to face heavy penalties and imprisonment.
  • Avoid mingling with strangers and taking helping offers from them.
