I don't understand those who write negative reviews about Phuket. I can only assume that these are those who love Europe. Thailand is not Europe, and why compare it, it's a completely different vacation, service, and food… Personally, I've been to Europe and the UAE several times, just like in Thailand, but it's a long time before I want to fly to the UAE, and I'm drawn to Tai. And I would argue about the food, the friendliness of the Thais, and the service. But everyone should form their own opinion, you won't find out if you don't fly.… My glass is always half full.… Good luck to all)))
