Phuketbooknow.com proudly introduces instant hotel bookings

That is why phuketbooknow.com has introduced the “instant booking” facility, allowing you to make sure that you get the room you want at the best possible price.

Sometimes when you book Phuket hotels, excellent prices can be found on rooms of all categories, ranging from budget Phuket resorts to the very finest five-star establishments. The prices can often be so good that many other people are trying to book the same rooms - the suites and villas can quickly become unavailable on the dates that you want. Phuketbooknow.com’s instant booking system allows you to get ahead of the crowd, and makes sure that you get amazing prices and guaranteed bookings with a few clicks of your mouse.

Once you have paid for your room, you can expect e-mail confirmation of your booking complete with your booking number within a few minutes. Naturally, if you have any questions or concerns our team is available 24/7 to answer your queries. The Phuket hotel will immediately enter your details into their own booking systems, and you can begin to look forward to your trip to paradise, safe in the knowledge that your room is paid for and confirmed.

That’s all there is to it – simply arrive at the hotel with your booking number, and you will be warmly greeted and led to your room by the waiting concierge. Cheap flights are available to Phuket from all over the world all year around, so you don’t have to worry about whether to book your hotel or your flights first – it’s up to you!

At phuketbooknow.com, we accept payment via Visa, MasterCard and PayPal, so you have several options when making your reservation. If you accidentally make a double booking or book the wrong dates, simply contact our team and we will rectify your problem for you as soon as possible.

We have processed thousands of bookings here at phuketbooknow.com, and we hope that the added convenience of immediate room confirmation and payment will ensure that even more people choose to use our services. One of the main reasons that we have been so successful is the great prices that we offer – we always invite you to compare our prices with those of our rivals. We are confident that you are very likely to find that phuketbooknow.com will have the best prices available for your chosen Phuket hotel.

A guide to the vibrant Phuket Nightlife

Many people who come to Phuket seek relaxation and solitude, and many of the beach resorts here offer just that - Mai Khao is just one example of a quiet peaceful town where you can enjoy splendid isolation on the beautiful long empty beaches under the waving palm trees. However, many more people who come to Phuket seek out some of the world’s best clubs and bars, where you are guaranteed a memorable night out.

 

As you may well be aware, the heart of Phuket’s nightlife is located in Patong. At the centre of Patong is the world-famous Bangla Road, where some of the finest bars and super-clubs on the island are to be found. Many of the streets adjacent to Bangla Road are also very vibrant and provide a great experience for those who enjoy dancing and drinking with the locals and the many visitors to the island. Tiger club on Bangla Road is one of the biggest venues on the island, featuring excellent DJs and a unique indoor area sculpted from a cave, with its very own waterfall. The nearby Seduction club rivals Tiger for size and capacity, and is spread over three floors, each with their own unique brands of music played by international DJs from around the world. 

Ten minutes north of Patong is Kamala, boasting easy access to Patong and a number of fine bars in its own right. The Kamala Riders Club is generally open later than the rest of Kamala, and features regular live music. There are usually more Thais than visitors here, and it is a good place to make new friends. Bob’s Bar on the north end of the beach provides the ultimate laid back reggae vibe with the sea at your feet, and has a very family friendly atmosphere. The majority of Kamala’s bars have pool tables and friendly hostesses, making you feel welcome wherever you go.

Just five minutes to the north of Kamala is Surin, renowned as the home of Phuket’s rich and famous holidaymakers. The nightlife very much reflects this, with a great selection of chic beachside clubs and bars, including the renowned Stereolab nightclub. Five minutes north again takes you to the Laguna Phuket complex and Bang Tao Beach, which offer a good selection of bars for families, couples and singles alike.

Ten minutes to the south of Patong you will find Karon and Kata Beaches. The nightlife here is less hectic here – most tourists who come here are couples and families, and the wide range of pleasant, family-friendly bars emphasizes this. The Ska Bar at the south end of Kata beach is particularly noteworthy, with an extremely relaxed atmosphere accentuated by an excellent selection of reggae music.

Wherever you go in Phuket, there is usually some form of nightlife, even if it is just the hotel bar where you are staying. A sense of friendly enjoyment is present wherever you go, and this is mostly because of the legendarily friendly Thai people themselves. With Thais, fun, singing and dancing are an integral part of the lives of people of all ages. Obviously you should take the same precautions that you would anywhere in the world when on a night out, but in general Phuket is one of the very safest places in the world to dance the night away. Have fun! If you have any clubs or bars that you would like to recommend, please get in touch via email or Facebook – we always enjoy hearing from you.

When is the best time to book a holiday in Phuket? Now!

April is here, and Phuket’s official “high-season” is over. Traditionally, fewer people come to stay in Phuket hotels during the low season. But there are many good reasons why the best time of year to book a Phuket holiday is right now! The temperatures at this time of year are gloriously warm – looking out of my window, I can see that it’s another perfect day for lounging on one of many of Phuket’s idyllic beaches. A lot of people come to Phuket hoping for a blissfully peaceful time in the sun – as the crowds melt away, you have your pick of all of Phuket’s finest beaches.

Of course, one of the very best reasons to book a Phuket holiday in April is the prices – airfares drop during the low season, and hotel prices drop even more, as everybody wants to keep their hotels full. To see just how far the prices have fallen, check out our rates at phuketbooknow.com – you will be amazed at some of the fantastic offers that are available even at four and five star luxury hotels. We welcome you to compare our prices to those of our competition – you will be pleasantly surprised at the bargains that phuketbooknow.com has to offer.

Another great reason to book an April break in Phuket is the centuries-long traditional festival of Songkran, which takes place between the 13th and the 15th of April. As well as being some of the friendliest and most welcoming people you will meet anywhere in the world, Thai people love to have fun. Songkran is basically the world’s biggest water-gun fight – everybody gets involved, both adults and children alike, and you are guaranteed to get a good natured soaking if you venture outdoors. The best way to get involved is to buy your own water gun and have fun with the Thai locals – it’s a unique experience that you’ll never forget.

As the tourists leave for home, the roads in Phuket get much quieter, making it an ideal time to rent out a hire car. Phuketbooknow.com has some great offers on car rentals, and the prices are even cheaper during low season. With gasoline tax costing you next to nothing in Phuket, hiring a car is a really cost-effective way to explore the island. Just remember to drive on the left hand side of the road, and watch out for the multitude of motorbikes, which most of the Thai locals use to get around. Check out our article about transportation in Phuket and places not to miss.

It’s true that it’s a little bit more likely that you will experience some rainfall in April, but the average hours of sunshine per day only drop from 9 hours in the high season to 8 hours in April, which leaves you plenty of time to work on your tan and experience all that Phuket has to offer in gloriously sunny conditions.

For those looking for a budget holiday in paradise, Phuket in April has to be one of your first choices – with cheap flights and a wealth of discounted Phuket hotels to choose from, you can find yourself the bargain holiday of a lifetime. So don’t delay – book your dream holiday now!
