Phuket wins in Travelers’ Choice awards

TripAdvisor the travel planning and booking site, has announced the winners of its Travelers’ Choice awards for Islands and Phuket is once again in the top 10. Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for hotels, restaurants and attractions on islands worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period, as well as traveler booking interest on TripAdvisor.

“With common traits like breathtaking beaches, exciting activities and popular hotels and restaurants, the Travelers’ Choice Islands are favorites of the TripAdvisor community,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor. “While most of these islands have year-round appeal, TripAdvisor hotel booking data shows that bargain-hunters can save nearly 30 percent per night on average when staying at the top U.S. islands during the shoulder season rather than the peak.”

Not only is Phuket one of the best in the world, but it also has 100 of smaller islands on the East coast of Phuket in Phang Nga Bay. This is where Royal Phuket Marina will be holding its monthly Boat Rally. .
