Okay, let’s talk Phuket! I just got back from a trip there, and I’m already dreaming of going back.
I feel like everyone has a different version of Phuket—some want wild parties, some want quiet beaches. I wanted a mix of both, and I figured out the perfect chill-but-fun itinerary.
If you want to relax, eat amazing things, and catch some good vibes without over-planning every second, this is for you.
Here’s exactly what I did and loved, plus some honest tips I picked up along the way.
Save this blog post and enjoy <3!!
1. Sunbathing on Phuket Patong Beach
Seriously, you can’t go to Phuket without planting yourself on a beach.
I spent a whole morning just sunbathing and walking along Patong Beach.
It’s busy, sure, but the energy is fun!
The water is warm, you can rent a cheap chair, and watching the mix of tourists, jetskis, and parasails is entertainment itself.
It’s the classic Phuket starter pack <333!
2. Try out the famous After you Dessert cafe
Listen, I’m still thinking about this.
You HAVE to go to After You Dessert Cafe.
I’m not even a huge dessert person, but this changed me.
I tried the classic Mango Sticky Rice Bingsu, and you guys—there’s actual mango sticky rice at the bottom of the shaved ice!
It’s genius. I also got the Hojicha Bingsu, which was roasted, toasty, and not too sweet. Perfect for sharing (or, you know, not sharing).
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
3. Find a beach club in Phuket
For that perfect “I’m on vacation” photo, find a beach club.
I went to one just to see what it was about, and it was so worth it. The setups are gorgeous—comfy daybeds, pools that look out over the ocean, great music.
I saw people just reading books and sipping coconuts for hours. It’s a splurge for a drink, but you’re paying for the whole aesthetic and a super chill afternoon.
Just book a daybed in advance!
4. Go to nightclub in Phuket
If you want to level up from the chill vibes, you have to check out a beach nightclub at least one night.
I went to Illuzion and it was super vibey and so much fun—the music, the lights, the sand under your feet! A quick but important heads-up: they are super strict.
They checked bags thoroughly, and weed is absolutely not allowed inside.
Just something to know so you don’t get caught off guard!
❤️For my baddies who wanna spoil themselves: ❤️

From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from LTK and my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes - some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
5. Buy some cute handmade stuff
This was a highlight! Forget the generic tourist souvenirs.
Go hunt for handmade straw bags and crochet items. I found the most beautiful, unique woven bag that would cost a fortune back home.
Guess how much? 300 Thai Baht (that’s less than $10 USD!).
I also bought the cutest crochet bag and keychain.
The quality for the price is insane. Look for little stalls and local markets, not the big mall chains.
6. Drink ALL The Thai Drinks & fresh juices!
Your hydration mission in Phuket should be delicious.
First, Thai Iced Tea—it’s a non-negotiable.
That orangey, sweet, creamy taste is unlike any other milk tea. I had one almost every day. Also, don’t sleep on the fresh fruit juice stalls everywhere.
I had a fresh pomegranate juice every single morning for like 60 Baht ($2).
It was bright, tart, healthy, and the best way to start a beach day.

7. Thai Boxing!
8. Go to Patong Walking Street
FINAL THOUGHTS:
My biggest tip? Mix it up.
Balance a lazy beach day with an exciting night out. Don’t overschedule—half the fun is stumbling upon a cool little juice stand or a hidden shop.
And wear your sunscreen! I learned that one the slightly pink way.
