Dear yinmelody,
Yes, Phuket is in low season (wet and windy) right now. Therefore, you could see many and many hotel provide attractive room rates till end of Oct.
Compared with Bali, Phuket has just a few "must go" scene. You could take a walk in Patong and Phuket Town, enjoy the snorkeling in Phi Phi Island, Raya Island or Similan Island (closed till Nov due to windy season), or take a short trip to Krabi or Phang Nga.
Do you mean better to go after Oct if want to go to Phuket ?
When is the low season for Bali ? Is this good in Dec ?

Dear Kukukoo,
Dry season in Phuket is after Oct. In Bali, most parts of Indonesia, the wet season falls between October and April (low season), and the dry season between May and September (high season). If you plan to Bali in Dec, you have to consider many and many Australian enjoy their X'mas holiday there.
Best regards,

Dear fatpam,
We will spare 4D3N in Phuket. I think we will join 1 full day tour to Egg Island or Raya Island, 1 half day trip to Phuket Town, and 1 half day trip to Patong only. The others will be in Laguna where is the place of the hotel we stay. When will you go?
Best regards,
Chingchingfa

Dear Chingchingfa,
We can't join the exciting activities with my little boy.
What places in Phuket are worth to visit? Thx!
I heard about the laguna hotels. The hotels there are attractive. But they are quite far away from the town.
And I'll go to Phuket in August.
I'll join only a half day tour to Egg Island as my husband is worried about my boy can not stand for the hot weather for such a long time.
Then we'll spend one whole day to go shopping in the malls in Patong. Ther are many tourists going to 日落崖, but is it worth to take 1 hour to go there just because of watching the sunset?
For the show, meseum and the aquarium, I have no interested in them, not very special to most Hong Kong guys. If I do not go with my boy, I 'll try some tours to different islands ,KTV, rafting and go to 大排檔.But I can't, miss him so much.

Dear fatpam,
I have not been to Sunset Cliff 日落崖 before. Is it same as the sunset in Cheung Po Chai cave, Cheung Chau? Why don't you choose the hotel facing west, and enjoy the sunset from your room? For your info, Laguna region is facing west, good place to view it!
Have you booked the air tkt / package? Which hotel is your target? Unless you stay in Patong, you have to pay the travelling cost from other places.
If you have an island tour w/ kids, suggest you to book the tour w/ island or beach landing, even you do not take snorkeling. Otherwise, you have to stay on the waving boat over an hour!
My family will be there on Jul 31. Will share my trip once I return to HKG.
Best regards,
Chingchingfa

Thanks for your reply. I've already bought the package.We may meet you there as I will go there on 2nd August.
I'll stay in a resort villa which is quite far away from Patong for the first 2 days. I will enjoy the amazing view and facilities there.
Then I will stay in Courtyard by Marriott at Patong beach for 3 days as there are many choices for shopping and dining. We can play in the kids corner and swimming pool in the hotel. But it seems that it's hard to find some places which are suitable for my boy. The destinatons can not be too far away from Patong.
Sorry that my husband bought the package by himself. So I don't know the exact price of that hotel. I just remember it is around $600-800/per day. We bought the package in 專業.Maybe you can ask the staff.
Dear fatpam,
As you talked to other BK person, Marriott rate is so attractive!
Are you travelling by KA? or TG?
Actually, if you have not pay the deposit yet, try other travel agents, 專業 is not the cheapest one. For me, booking my tailor made package costs over 18% more than others. About your Marriott, Lotus Tours' rate is just HK$550 for 1 bedroom suite.
Best regards,
Chingchingfa
