A holiday in Phuket is actually more accessible than it seems, since there are many holidays packages from a number of hotels, big and small, spread all around the island. Phuket's cheap packages are not hard to find primarily because of the favourable currency exchange. This makes that what might seem a luxurious holiday deal for locals would not be as expensive as it was to overseas tourists. As a guide, just one US dollar would convert to roughly 30 to 35 Thai Baht depending on the exchange rate which fluctuates from time to time. Prices of a nice room in a recognised Phuket hotel like the Phuket Holiday Hotel start at a mere 3400 Baht which equates to USD100, give or take according to the exchange rate, which is quite cheap considering the stature of such a hotel. Cheaper alternatives spread across the island would easily be less than half the price and that is not a large price to pay to stay in one of the most picturesque tropical islands in the world.
A wide variety of Phuket holiday packages can be found and booked online and there will be many recommendations from tour guides on the island itself as well as tourism is indeed Phuket's number one industry.
