Perhaps you\u2019re facing the same dilemma \u2013 the difficulty to choose between these two destinations for a short getaway. Bali is mysterious, mesmerizing, and\u2026 somewhat difficult. Phuket is all about beaches or so, it seems? Relaxing \u2013\u2013 easy. Perhaps a bit too easy. Don\u2019t we love it when travel gets a bit uncomfortable?<\/p>\n

Why Phuket Makes A Good Alternative To Bali<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll give you a few reasons why Phuket will make a good option when compared with Bali.<\/p>\n

Transport in Phuket is generally So Much Easier.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

I really like Bali<\/strong><\/a>, especially Ubud<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s magical.<\/p>\n

But, transport in Ubud is such a bitch<\/strong>. Grab is basically banned by the local taxi-drivers in Ubud. Uber does not exist at all in the world of Southeast Asia. There\u2019s the Indonesian company Gojek with their taxi-scooters<\/a> in Bali, but, I\u2019m definitely not keen to take scooter taxis overseas.<\/p>\n

\n

Honestly, this transport reason was the top reason that once again, I decided to give up planning a solo trip to Bali<\/strong>, and headed to Phuket for a full week instead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\"InDriver\"InDriver

If I\u2019m travelling by myself<\/a>, hiring a personal driver for a full day or a few days will not make economic sense. Obviously I\u2019m not going to walk everywhere. This meant that when I was in Ubud (in 2016) for a DIY yoga retreat<\/a>, I had to be super careful in choosing accommodation options in Ubud. It had to be somewhere that can let me walk to places I want to go, such as yoga studios, or for a morning hike at Campuhan Ridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unless you can ride a bike\/scooter and would rent one in Bali to get around places, otherwise, you\u2019re going to find trouble getting around in Bali, or Ubud, at least. The hassle starts already from Denpasar Airport when you land in Bali, from my last memory of being in Bali. You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re doing a dangerous thing for even daring to take Grab from the airport<\/em>. Oh well, or, you can use Klook to book your airport pickup from Denpasar<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\n

I just want an easy & safe way to get around places. Without feeling like I\u2019m at the mercy of come who may, or else get harrassed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Phuket has Grab (very expensive), and two more ride-hailing apps called Bolt<\/strong>, and IN-Driver<\/strong>. Most of my rides between places were through IN-Driver, followed by Bolt. I didn\u2019t use Grab at all in Phuket.<\/p>\n

So yep, Bali. Guess I won\u2019t be visiting you as a solo traveller anytime soon, unless the transport part gets worked out.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s virtually NO Co-veet restrictions in Phuket!<\/h3>\n

This might even come across as borderline unbelievable (if you\u2019re living in Singapore where you\u2019re always bombarded with how scary Cvd is and will be with new x\/y\/z variants<\/a> and increased re-infections<\/a> and the threat of re-implementing mandates and also the advertising of yet more shots even for babies as young as 6 months old<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/h5>\n

Thailand has displayed practical wisdom in how they\u2019ve dealt with Coweed time<\/em>s. Previously, they had implemented a Sandbox project, then a Thailand Pass system which they scrapped in July 2022.<\/p>\n

When I visited Phuket in Sept 2022, they still had airport staff verify my vaccination status (a screenshot on my phone sufficed), before allowing me to proceed to the immigration counter. (Non-fully-vaxxed will need to produce negative test results to enter.)<\/p>\n

Now, you do not need to be jabbed or tested to enter Thailand!<\/h4>\n

From 1 October 2022, Thailand eliminated all vaccine and test requirements<\/a>. <\/strong>Non-vaxxed tourists do not even need to do any pre-entry tests. This is super awesome.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Indonesia requires a minimum of some shots in order to enter their country. Up till now, I can\u2019t decipher Indonesia\u2019s official websites\u2019 wording on whether Indonesia requires a primary dosage, or primary plus booster. If you know, do leave a comment.<\/p>\n

There is NO mask policy in Thailand!<\/h4>\n

Masks are totally not required in Thailand! If you see someone masked up in Phuket, they\u2019re either Thai staff at work. If not.. extremely worried\/concerned\/afraid travellers. If you see masked people at the beach (yes I really saw!), They Are Definitely Tourists.<\/p>\n

\n

I spent a full week in Phuket without having a mask on<\/strong> at any time (my mask was already off since Singapore Changi Airport onwards). It was SUPER REFRESHING to constantly breathe properly.<\/p>\n

It seems Indonesia currently only allows masks off in outdoor settings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Thai food can be enjoyed every day, while Indonesian food tends to be too heavy for me.<\/h3>\n

Thai food can be quite similar to Chinese food, so it suits my palette very well.<\/p>\n

\n

Even if you can\u2019t take Thai food everyday, the restaurants in Phuket, near the more popular areas also cater to a wide range of foreigners. You won\u2019t have trouble finding places that sell pasta, or burgers, etc.<\/p>\n

In Bali, Indonesian cuisine tends to be too strong &\/or salty in flavour for me.<\/p>\n

| Read all my Bali posts here!<\/a> |<\/h4>\n

Even if many cafes in Bali commonly offer what\u2019s popular among Caucasians since there are a lot of Caucasians in Bali, such as salad bowls or whatever bowls that comprise a lot of fruits or raw veggies, they don\u2019t sit well with me, especially since adopting a TCM-led lifestyle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Bali is famous for beaches, but Phuket also has a lot of beautiful beaches.<\/h3>\n

Well I didn\u2019t go many beaches in Phuket (just Kata and Patong), but Kata Beach at Phuket was pretty. Nice sand, lovely sea waves. Rent a beach chair for 100baht and sit there for as long as you want.<\/p>\n

There are also many other beaches that require a bit more effort to get there. Or you can just buy island-hopping day trips on Klook<\/a>! I visited Phi Phi island etc when I was young, and also tried all the parasailing at either Phuket or Pattaya.<\/p>\n

\n

There is no lack of massage \/ spa places in Phuket.<\/h3>\n

I went Let\u2019s Relax Spa<\/strong> at Patong 2nd Street<\/a>, Let\u2019s Relax Spa<\/strong> at The Sis Hotel Kata<\/a> (very new outlet), NARA Massage<\/a> at Kata area. Compared to street massage shops\u2019 prices, these places are relatively more expensive. My favorite was foot reflexology at Let\u2019s Relax at Patong 2nd Street.<\/p>\n

Foot massage, aroma massage, Thai massage, body scrubs, you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

The energy field in Phuket is generally \u2018brighter\u2019, compared to Bali.<\/h3>\n

Not sure if you feel anything different, but to me, compared with Bali, Phuket feels \u2018brighter\u2019, with a lot of hot sun (monsoon seasons do exist), the beaches are always near.<\/p>\n

\n

Phuket genuinely welcomes everyone!<\/h3>\n

Travelling solo? Or a couple? In a group of friends? With family? Man visiting with wife? Man on honeymoon with LGBT male partner? Young? Old? Elderly Caucasian with a young Asian? Matured lady with young man?<\/em><\/p>\n

No matter which, Phuket doesn\u2019t judge, and welcomes everyone. I went from one hotel where majority of hotel guests are solo travellers, to another where I didn\u2019t spot any solo hotel guest. Never at any time in Phuket did I feel discriminated by the locals. Massage places, restaurants, food courts, cafes patronized by locals \u2013 all made me feel welcome! It was great!<\/p>\n

\n

Travel Tips to Know Before You Fly to Phuket!<\/h2>\n

1. Arrange for airport transfer on your own instead of using hotels\u2019.<\/h4>\n

Klook<\/a> offers very reasonable rates (the trip to my hotel took an hour and it was just S$24.95 per trip). Klook only sent me the confirmation, with no pickup details, but no worries. All airport pickup drivers will be waiting at the pickup area (after exiting the custom, at the main airport terminal, turn right and walk straight towards the exit).<\/p>\n

\n

2. For transport between places, download IN-Driver and Bolt before you go.<\/h4>\n

Private transport is not exactly cheap in Phuket, especially if you\u2019re bearing all the costs on your own as a solo traveller. IN-Driver was the most reasonable to me. The app auto keys in a suggested rate for your ride, you can key in the rate or offer something high. No matter which, a few drivers will start offering either that price or slightly higher, for you to choose. A typical ride 10+min ride cost me below 200 baht.<\/p>\n

Bolt is a fixed price via the app. I took it just one time, I believe. It was THB200 for a 14min ride from Kata Beach (KIRI Burger near the beginning of the beach) to Nara Massage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I used cash all the time in Phuket.<\/p>\n

3. You can get mobile data simcards at Phuket\u2019s airport.<\/h4>\n

The counters are right outside the customs. I usually always buy simcards when I go Bangkok, but this time, I couldn\u2019t find enough research for Phuket\u2019s airport before my trip, so I rented a router from Singapore\u2019s Changi Recommends instead. Which cost a lot more than a data simcard =\\<\/p>\n

\n

3. Food isn\u2019t cheap in Phuket.<\/h4>\n

Here are some sample prices:<\/p>\n

\n
\"breakfast\"breakfast<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"Malika\"Malika<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

\u2022 Meals at first hotel (CC\u2019s Hideaway<\/a>): Mushroom omelette (THB 240 (S$9)), caramel macchiato THB 110 (S$4), Tomyum Goong (THB 240 (S$9))
\u2022 Local eatery @ Kata: stir-fried flat noodles (THB 70), minced pork Thai salad (yum woon sen<\/em>) (THB 120)
\u2022 A Blanket & A Pilllow cliff cafe: Tequila (THB 160)
\u2022 The Coffee Club, Kata Beach: bacon pasta (THB 220 before tax)
\u2022 Malika Sky Terrace at Kalima Resort<\/a>: Passionfruit Highball (THB 180)<\/p>\n

Cocktail prices are great (if you live in Singapore where alcohol costs an arm & a leg). It\u2019s a good idea to just keep drinking hard liquor in Phuket \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n
