Phuket Thailands Perfect Quiet Tropical Holiday Destination Even in Patong

Many people come to Phuket Thailand each year for many different reasons. There is of course the awesome diving Phuket has to offer both in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman ocean. There is the similan islands which are by far the best islands in Thailand when it comes to scuba diving.

Then for those that dont dive and just want the best locations for snorkeling again the similans are without a doubt one of the best locations for snorkeling in phuket. There are plenty of other locations too like James Bond island, Khai island, The phang nga national park, krabi and Phi Phi bamboo. But the similan islands are by far the best phuket snorkel tour.

However many people prefer to get away from the crowds and want peace and quiet on their holidays. This is where Thailand Divers comes into its own. All the normal things to do in Phuket can be very easy to do as a private tour. Get away from the crowds, set your own departure time and return time so as to miss the crowds. Have the boat to yourself so if you will like a bit more time in one location and then a bit less in another then thats fine as its your tour. No crowds, no cramped boats. no transfer delays while waiting for other people. Its your holiday, your choice of tours and your timetable.

Then even in the busiest to towns there are idyllic oasis of calm and tranquility. Great phuket hotels and comfortable phuket guest houses for you. Many hidden alcoves that most people just walk on by without ever seeing. There are plenty of Patong beach hotels that have 5* service at 3* prices if you know where to look. Thailand Divers after being here on the island for 15 years has had the time to locate these hidden gems for you. There is many a guest house phuket thats totally tucked away from the masses to offer that total peace and quiet refuge but still close to the beach and town center. Many a good Patong hotel is easily missed. These amazing Phuket hotels and guest houses will be an ideal hideaway from which to have that perfect calm away from the crowds even in the hight of the season.

When it comes to the tropical island paradise that we all dream about then Similan Thailand is the ideal diving and snorkeling location all with in easy reach of the main island of Phuket. But remember there are also many other phuket islands to explore and if you just ask the right people the right questions then you will never be stuck in that mass tourist rat race ever again. Just ask yourself what is your ideal holiday?

I know what holiday I will prefer...Welcome to Thailand Divers Phuket. Welcome to paradise..

The Sun Is Returning To Phuket Thailand. The Cold Is Returning To Europe. Time For Some Winter Sun??

The sun is coming back to Phuket - and the cold is starting to set in Europe.... Time for a winter holiday? Phuket Thailand has so much to do for the whole family. James bond island and the scuba diving Phuket is worth a trip on its own.

Come and have a look at the new Thailand Divers website for the 2016 - 2017 season. Full of new things to do in Phuket and trips for all the family.

We have kept the same prices as last year so amazing value if you are looking to learn to dive Thailand and do your PADI open water course similans or phuket is the place to do it. May be continue your diving experience with the PADI Advanced open water or PADI Specialties or any PADI dive courses phuket for that matter.

If you have never tried then why not Discover scuba diving phuket has some amazing things to see in the warm shallow reefs for even the most nervous beginner.

The amazing Similan Islands, Surin Islands and Richelieu Rock are all located in the National Marine Park of Thailand - the National Marine Park opened its doors to another high season of amazing scuba diving (15th November) and it will be open until May 2017. The similans offer some of the best scuba diving Thailand has and that means some of the best in the world.

We have a great selection of Similan islands liveaboard trips from the beautiful MV Halleujah or Deep Andaman Queen which is perfect for people looking for a romantic diving trip or Honeymooners. Better still those who will like to experience the best diving in style. This VIP trip is what diving in Thailand is all about.

The Similan island national park is not just for scuba divers but also for snorkelers and sightseeing - we run a fantastic Similan trip which visits 4 of the 9 islands in one day. A similan thailand trip will be the high point in any tropical island holiday.

Then as all good divers know that you need to be well rested and relaxed to make the most of any dive trip. When you have the best diving in the world on your door step, the best boats and best instructors then it stands to reason then you should have a place to stay that matches. Here at Thailand Divers we have got together a few Patong beach hotel and a few Patong guesthouse that our customers have said are really great quality.

There are many guest house patong but what we are looking for are the hidden ones. The ones that are hidden oasis in the middle of Patong. Our selection of hotel patong are all of a standard well above their price. We have from Hostels right up to 5 star beach front villas. All with good reports from OUR customers. All close to the town centre but all hidden away from the crowds to offer peace and quiet so you can get a great patong hotel, a good nights sleep before a good days diving for a great price too.

Now take all of the above factors into account and you should get a perfect day (weather permitting) as this something we still can not control but with a bit of thought the weather should not impact too much on the day if you have the right boat. Scuba diving Phuket is what many people work all year to save up for. It is the duty of the dive center to provide the best possible diving Phuket can offer on every single day.

We look forward to seeing you in Phuket soon.

What is Thai Food ?

Over the years people comment on the food here in Thailand. People from other countries say " I love Thai food" or "I hate Thai food". This to me is very strange comment to make after all what is Thai food??

Thailand is a large country that runs North to South. The people are so varied too as they as have many nations been mixed with others over the centuries and so the has the food. Thai food ranges from Chinese styles very similar to what we know all around the world. Noodles, fried rice, sweet and sour.

The Phuket dive boats and street vendors of Patong alike have food from all over Thailand.

We have what westerners think as very spicy is the food from Esan, Isaan or several other spellings. this is Thailand largest region which is in the north east on boarder. with Cambodia and Laos. This food is what some people may have tried and said no way. The food is very spicy but with huge amounts of flavor. its not like Indian hot curry which takes away all the other flavors. The Issan food is just large amounts of all flavor. Papaya salad freshly mage on the streets is just one example. When ordering this just say not spicy or even NO spice.

Patong has a huge selection of varied food available from all over Thailand.

Then we come to the foods that have traveled overseas. The Thai green, red, yellow curry. These again vary from one chef to another as they are all made locally by people that were taught by their parents, friends who all make it slightly different. They all will be different from what you get in your local resturant back home. This is because of the lack of Thai ingredients available. Thai food is always very fresh as nothing lasts long in the heat of the day. What we get in out local Chinese or Indian takeaway is nothing like the food we will get in China or India. The same goes for Thailand.

Then we have the Pad Thai. This means fried Thai style. This is a stir fry with various noodle types, shrimps and either Chicken, Beef, Pork or seafood. It takes minutes to make and very good cheap non spicy food.

Thailand is also big on BBQs. Chicken, Pork, Fish, Prawns. This makes sense as Thailand is more suited to BBQ than most other nations. A fire on the beach to cook the fish, a fire on the farm to cook the Chicken or Pork. The BBQ has been around in Thailand longer than in all western countries. Rice, noodles and salad can go with all Thai food. For big celebrations they do the same as we do and can do a pig roast or even spit roast a cow.

Then in modern times in most holiday resorts now they have western foods too. Pizza, Pasta, Burgers, Mexican, British resturants along with many fast food places. You can get Sunday roasts and there is even places that do a carvery on sundays.

On Phuket you can even get a carvery on Sundays.

Thailand Divers day trips you are sure to get a good breakfast.

All dive boats, Live aboards and other tours that involve or include breakfast and lunch will have a selection of western and Thai food modified for westerners. The dive boats these days are known for excellent food and compete to find the best chefs. So for people to say they dont like Thai food is crazy. It just means they tried one or two things in a certain area and gave up. How can people not like BBQs, Chinese, Curries, Fish stir fries, salads and soups. There is a Thai style food that can suit all tastes and it will always will be fresh and full of flavor. Here in Phuket being very central we have the full range of foods from all over Thailand along with being a center for tourists which brings a large selection of western places too.

On the day trips and liveaboards you are sure to be well fed.
