Two of my least favourite places I've visited have been Cancún and Phuket. Both were minor stops in larger journeys, and I had fairly low expectations, but hot damn these places truly sucked ass. The countries they reside in have some truly great stuff, but you won't find them in these places.
Phuket, I’m leaving.
Pronounced "poo-ket", messing the pun up somewhat
Tbh, i stayed on Phuket island on the north west-ish side, not in Phuket city, and I thought it was really nice. Near Naiyang beach i believe. Not a lot of people, still nice beach and some food and drinks etc nearby. Heard terrible things off the city but i guess the island itself can have its moments.
I'm sure it's possible to find some good places on the island, but in my opinion, why risk it? Thailand has so much other stuff to offer at way less of a risk.
Yeah good point. The only reason we flew to Phuket was because we went diving from Khao Lak, and we just decided to sit out the jetlag for a bit close to the airport. But yeah, lucky (maybe?) that we found a nice spot. Would visit it again if I ever flew to Phuket again.
