Can you have a safe, amazing trip to Phuket right now? Absolutely. Thousands of people are doing it and returning with nothing worse than tan lines and a newfound obsession with coconut smoothies.
But treat Phuket like that gorgeous, slightly unpredictable friend. Don’t let your guard down completely. Insure your trip, pack your common sense, and double-check your hotel’s cancellation policy.
If you’re vaccinated, flexible, and ready for a little chaos, go. The island is waiting with a cold Chang beer and a sunset that’ll make you forget your Wi-Fi password.
Just don’t pet the monkeys. Seriously. Don’t.
