Hi, my family and i are travelling to phuket during June, i need some advices from all of u as this is our first time going to there.

1) does anyone stay in Burasari Resort before? how was your rating?

2) should we book the tours online / in hotel /or on street (safe?)?


Thanks!

yes i stayed there i thought it was a good hotel,room opened pool side nice clean rooms good food 8 out of 10,
as for booking tours i would book on the day check the weather first,many places to book either in hotel reception which i prefer to do easy pick up and drop off,,or book on the street

thanks razer edge & happydays!

we will be staying in phuket for for 3 nights, hopefully e weather is good. i heard that booking tours in hotel reception are more expensive than outside and there are many agencies too.

talking about booking tours on street, how do we find them?

my only worry is that packages will be fully booked.

June is not busy echo so you wont have a problem with tours being booked out, you will easily see the tour desks on the streets, they are everywhere.

there are many tour operators on the streets,i don't know what service they offer regards to picking up and dropping you of,maybe a little cheaper ? don't bother with the guy who approaches you selling tours,
what i can tell you for sure if you book at your hotel they will pick you up on time and return you back to your hotel,if any accidents they will take you to hospital and take care of you,they will provide you with little snacks fruit and a drink,for a few baht more well worth peace of mind,you will get a good service from TOUR EAST OR PHUKET ADVENTURE,

I have always booked tours on the street and have always been picked up on time and dropped back to the hotel. I dont think there is any difference except $$ betwwen the street and the hotel.
Friends of mine stayed at the Bursari last year and it was great.

Go with the street option and bargain for your tours. But most off all have a great time...
