Went there in Aug, from Bne to Syd then up on Jetstar. Return Hkt/Syd/Bne
Service from Jetstar was spot on, prepaid for food etc. Crew exceeded what I have had on full cost airlines. Mind you the crew were looking forward to 3 days in Phuket, so they were happy to be on board.
As a Au passbook holder we did not need visas, just had to fill out cards handed out for arrival which also had departure info that had to be filled in.
The depatrure section was stapled into passbook and was used on way out.
If you were to stay 30 or more days then a visa was needed.
Long wait to get thru passbook control on arrival.
Going back again soon but wife wants to go direct from Bne using V.
In talking to others up there , they came via a lot of different ways, SIN,HKG,BKK,KUL etc.
Great place for a holiday, if you can get used to being asked all the time "does sir want a suit, or tuk tuk or taxi or CDees or massage.
