Phuket, Thailand's beach and nightlife destination, is known for attracting huge numbers of male tourists seeking to experience the a go go bars, beer bars and discos packed with young Thai women. But is there a place in Phuket for women traveling together or alone? Hopefully, there are many things to do for female travelers.
There are lots of affordable and enjoyable activities to do for women traveling alone in Phuket. Making friends with other travelers is possible, as well as Thai ladies who would enjoy practicing their English. This can be a good way to learn more about Thai culture and the country. A young sexy female traveler will certainly get the interest of Thai men, but without them being too invasive.
The first thing that a woman will enjoy in the island is the numerous beaches available. From a small nearly private beach where sun bathing can be enjoyed to more busy beaches like in Patong, there is somewhere to go. Foreign ladies must know that sunbathing topless is very impolite and shocking in Thai culture and must not be done publicly.
In addition to the beach, where a cheap Thai massage can be enjoyed, pampering is available at many SPAs that can offer a wide range of services. Some of them are very well located with a nice view on the sea and provide sauna, hydrotherapy, Shiatsu massage and skin treatment sessions by qualified practitioners.
Wellness programs are also available, generally combined with SPA sessions. On the menu are weight loss and diet programs, fitness, and also alternative methods like meditation and tai chi. Other activities are available in women only groups like for instance, yoga, Nia dance, reiki and Shiatsu.
Shopping is another activity that women visiting Phuket will enjoy as there is a wide range of quality colorful clothes and accessories on sale in shopping malls, but also markets. Prices of all items are very competitive compared to Europe or the USA, so it is certainly time to plan to get back home with extra luggage.
Sightseeing is also a must do in Phuket and there are many travel agencies that offer joined tours in small groups to the different attractions in and around the island. Renting a motorcycle or a car is possible for those who want more freedom and stay alone. Sport activities like mountain biking, sea kayaking, snorkeling, diving or motorcycling are good options.
Patong is famous for its active nightlife that all men will like. But is there a place in Phuket where women can go? In addition to the a gogo bars, where women can also have drink, there are several pubs and discotheques where the night can be enjoyed. For those who do not want to be alone, there are certainly plenty of opportunities to make new friends.
There is without question a place for foreign women in Phuket, which is not only for men, as anywhere else in Thailand.
