This is a great hostel in Phuket! Something to note is that it does lean more toward the party hostel end of things but people said they are still able to get a good nights sleep here. First of 3 hostels on this list becasue Phuket is so big. (This i...

Apps To Download

These are the must have apps to get when traveling Thailand!

ย 
Lexi Loves To Live ๐ŸŒ profile picture
MUST HAVE - This App is similar to Uber. Its a great way to get rides around or have food delivered (in some cities). If you ever have a chance you should book a grab bike and ride on the back of a Grab Drivers Motorbike! You can also pay with card w...
Grab: Taxi Ride, Food Delivery 4+ - App Store
ย 
Lexi Loves To Live ๐ŸŒ profile picture
This is another ride app but it is typically a cheaper ride than with Grab. It is a good idea to have both downloaded for prices as well as sometimes drivers are only available on one or the other.
Bolt: Request a ride, 24/7

This one might seem obvious but seriously download this app. Not many people speak English and even fewer speak conversational English so this is a lifesaver. You can also take photos of things and have the words translated.
Google Translate on the App Store

Wonderful Transport

This is where I book all my long travel in SE Asia but especially Thailand :)

ย 
Lexi Loves To Live ๐ŸŒ profile picture
This is the website I use to do any bus/train/boat travel in all of Asia but especially Thailand! You can book inside the country or even transport between countries! I was recommended it by several locals and travelers. 10/10!
