Last Chance Tourism isn’t a new concept. The fear of missing out, or ‘FOMO’, social and psychological notion has been around for several years, feeding tourists with a hunger to visit or experience a place at risk of vanishing or altering due to climate change. Now, I am not suggesting that Thailand is about to disappear, however a huge shift is most certainly on its way, so this might well be your Last Chance Tourism window of opportunity.

We live in the wild and crazy times and there’s little doubt that the wild ride which humanity is currently experiencing is going to get more severe, unpredictable and shocking. It’s not just the horrible reality of COVID-19 and the economic apocalypse it has unleashed which haunts us, but also the unending deluge of media overload which permeates our every waking moment.

This current global crisis sprung upon us by the COVID-19 virus has had an enormous effect on life as we know it, and particularly on the hospitality industry. Countries are still in varying degrees of lockdown, several are going back into lockdown to avoid a ‘second wave’, flights to many destinations, including Thailand, are still suspended and hotels are as a result, suffering single figure occupancies.

6 Luxurious Things to Splurge on While in Phuket
6 Luxurious Things to Splurge on While in Phuket
Friday 6 December 2019, 03:15PM
Phuket is one of the best holiday destinations in Thailand. Its world-famous beaches and islands are nothing short of spectacular, while its towns and villages combine heritage, culture, and natural attractions. It’s also a perfect destination to splurge and spoil yourself. From ultra-exclusive tours to gourmet cooking lessons, there are plenty of luxurious activities that await you in Phuket. A good way to have a deluxe experience in this tropical paradise is by booking a Phuket tour package through https://www.traveloka.com/th-th/packages/thailand/region/phuket-10000077. You can save on your plane tickets and accommodations, giving you a bigger budget for shopping, food, and other sumptuous activities. Here are just a few of the luxurious things you can spend on while vacationing in Phuket. A Luxury Spa Treatment You can find plenty of five-star hotels and resorts in Phuket, and all of them offer some of the best pampering this side of town. You can fully relax with heat-to-toe treatments from professional massage therapists, and feel extra beautiful after a bevy of treatments. What’s great is that, most of the time, you can still avail these luxuriant spa treatments even if you’re not checked in to a particular hotel or resort. Simply ask the front desk and confirm if you they accept walk-in customers. Alternatively, you can also hunt for spas in town to conclude a sightseeing tour. Some of the most well-established spas in Phuket are Oasis Spa, De Flora Spa, and Siladon Spa. A Private Tour Are you the type who wants to avoid the touristy, crowded spots? A private tour is perfect for you, where a local tour tour guide will show you the island’s best kept secrets. From secret beaches and viewpoints with gorgeous views, to five-star restaurants where you can sample the best regional cuisine, you’ll experience only the best of Phuket. There are even tours that include a trip to Chalong Rum Distillery, where you can sample top-notch rum and learn about how it’s made. A Customized Private Tour If you want an even more exclusive experience, you can skip the pre-packaged private tours and customize your own excursion. A driver and professional tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and from there, everything in your itinerary will be up to you. It doesn’t matter where you want to go or how many stops you want to include. However, if you’re looking for ideas, a visit to Promthep Cape is a good idea. It has some of the best panoramic views of the Andaman Sea you’ll ever have in Phuket. A Phang Nga “Ideal Tour” Phang Nga Bay is one of the most beautiful destinations in Phuket, and you can experience is gorgeous scenery while riding a traditional Chinese “junk boat.” Apart from the paradise-like scenes in Phang Nga, the cruise also includes trips to Koh Ping Kan or James Bond Island, Koh Tapu and the iconic “spike” of a rock that defies gravity, and the village of Koh Panyee. In short, you’ll be visiting Phuket’s most idyllic locations. Of course, the Ideal Tour also includes snacks on-board, a lunch in one of the best restaurants in Koh Panyee, and a sumptuous dinner back on the boat. A Big-Game Fishing Expedition One of the fastest-growing tourist activities in Phuket is big-game fishing. It’s not surprising, since the waters surrounding the island are teeming with different kinds of fish like black marlin, dorado, trevally, and sailfish. If you’re a fishing enthusiast or simply want to experience the thrill of reeling in a huge catch, this one is an activity that’s definitely worth your baht. Hardcore anglers can even book multi-day fishing tours! A Gourmet Cooking Lesson at Blue Elephant Want to learn how to cook gourmet-quality Thai dishes? Sign up for the Blue Elephant Cooking Class. It’s conducted by the people behind Blue Elephant Restaurant, a well-known destination to experience authentic Thai cuisine. There are two classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and each has a unique inclusion. The morning class comes with a market tour, while the afternoon class includes an in-depth look at Thai cooking theories and techniques. There’s also a comprehensive five-day class and, if you prefer, private cooking lessons. No matter which one you choose, you’ll receive a premium cooking set, a souvenir Blue Elephant apron, and a certificate. If you’re looking for a five-star vacation, Phuket is one of the best destinations you can visit. Take note of these activities for the most luxurious experiences you can have in Phuket.

You know when a waiter sets your meal down on the table and warns you that the plate is hot, you have to touch it just to be sure? Well, in a similar vein, when I was advised not to bother with Vientiane on my trip to Laos PDR, I had to pay a visit. But this time I didn’t get my fingers burned. Instead, my travel partner and I had one of our most memorable trips to date.

Seven hundred words it is. One shot at my debut article about my recent trip to Thailand, plus I need to pick just two photos out of the 800-plus I took while I was visiting places not many tourists venture to. In a nutshell, I need to de­scribe to you what was important to me.

I’ll admit I did fairly little research before my re­cent trip to Taipei. Do I need a visa? No. How’s the weather this time of year? Swelteringly hot and humid. And what’s the currency? New Taiwanese dollar. And one dollar = 0.98 baht. So that’s easy to work out. And off we went.

It starts with that distinctive smell. It has a unique quality – familiar to some, new to oth­ers. Yet one fact is universal to both the salty dog and the first-time visitor: people the world over are drawn to the sea.
