Search the Web for the Best Phuket Websites

Whether you’re an expat who has lived on the island for 10 years or a tourist who is planning a one-week visit, there are a large number of Phuket websites that have information relevant to your needs. Whatever you want, be it tourist information, details about the party scene or the latest news scoops from the island, there’s a Phuket website out there that covers it. Perhaps the biggest Phuket website is www. phuket. com, which claims to get traffic in the region of one million visitors every month. With such a premium domain name coupled with the large amount of content on the website, those figures are certainly possible, although they may actually represent page views rather than unique hits. On phuket. com, web users have access to a vast quantity of information about the island, including travel information incorporating everything from overviews of the beaches to articles about things to do in Phuket. The design of the website isn’t particularly 2. 0, but there’s lots to keep readers glued to their screens. For news about Phuket, there are three websites that are worth bookmarking. www. phuketwan. com is a web-based news service that is regularly updated. Likewise, the website of the Phuket Gazette, www. phuketgazette. net, keeps its homepage turning over with updates. The website of the Phuket Post, www. phuketpost. com, is also worth a look from time to time. The busiest Phuket forum on the Internet can be found at www. thaivisa. com/forums. There are a handful of new posts daily, including discussion about everything from recent news stories to the best place to eat pizza on the island. There’s also a decent Phuket forum at www. phuket-info. com/forums, although it isn’t always overflowing with new content. The forum at Asia Web Direct, http://forum. asiawebdirect. com/ubbthreads. php, gets a lot more visitors. On the subject of phuket-info. com, this website has done a good job of collecting information for travelers, with lots of content related to beaches and nightlife. A popular website that focuses on restaurants in Phuket is www. wheretoeat-phuket. com, the website of the Image Asia magazine Where to Eat, which can be found all over the island and is available for free. The website www. phuket. net is similar to www. phuket. com, although the content is a little thinner. It is still worth visiting to get a more general picture of the island. The design of the website is better than most of the others mentioned here. There are a few blogs written about Phuket and they tend to give a more honest impression of life on the island than the commercial websites. One that stands out from the crowd is www. jamie-monk. blogspot. com, which is the home of Jamie’s Phuket. Jamie is a long-time resident of Phuket and he regularly updates his blog with pictures and stories of restaurants, hotels, temples and more. As you might expect, there are several websites that cover the naughty-nightlife scene in Phuket. These websites tend to look old and tired, but if you want information about bar girls and go-gos, they may have something to offer. There are so many Phuket websites that it’s really just a case of using Google to find the ones that are most relevant to you. New Phuket websites tend to appear often, but most don’t last much more than a few months.
