Info
About Phuket
Visas
British citizens require a passport valid for at least six months on date of application, (or entry for a tourist visa). A 30 day tourist visa stamp is provided on entry at no cost. Proof of a return ticket is required and name of hotel in destination. If you intend to stay for longer than 30 days an extension of stay or valid 'pre-arranged' 90 day visa will be required.

The rules on visa extension are subject to change so always check the embassy information if you plan to stay longer than 30 days.

Note: Non-British citizens may have different visa requirements.
Timezone
GMT +7

Remember to wind on your watch as soon as you embark on the plane, it really helps.
Language
Thai is the official language. English is widely spoken, especially in establishments catering for tourists. Go off the beaten track and you will find yourself nodding, pointing and gesturing, but you can still get by quite easily.
Jabs
Always check with your GP or travel nurse in plenty of time before departure as the situation can change, but it is recommended that you will need up to date, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Hepatitis A, and Typhoid for Phuket. Hepatitis B is sometimes recommended.

Thailand doesn't have Malaria but if you intend on spending lots of time around the Thai borders you may need to take a course of malaria tablets. Always remember to take sensible precautions against mosquito bites, any 'tropical strength' mozzie spray with DEET works well, especially at sundown.
Electricity
220 Volts AC, 50Hz. Two-pin plugs are standard so you can use your European adaptors.
Currency
The currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht (THB) and is divided into 100 Satang.

Be aware - the 1000 baht note looks very similar to a 100 baht note. You might give an overlarge tip!
