Going on an elephant ride up the hill for 30mins cost about Baht 800-1000 (Baht1000 = US$30), a day trip to Phang Nga Bay cost Baht 2800 onwards, an evening show at Fantasea cost Baht 1300 or a Simon Cabaret show cost Baht 800.
Was in Phuket last week so I guess the prices are pretty accurate. Do be very watchful of the girls in Patong strip - particularly Bangla Boulevard. If you do want to explore the nightspots, stay to bigger and more established pubs. DO NOT follow the girls if they offer to bring you to their pub. They will rip you off from your drinks ordered and their snatch your money for their tips. You can't argue as they are kind of 'protected' by the bars they work for.
Tuk-Tuk is a popular public transport using a mini van that can take up to 8 persons. Bargain hard for the charges before you hop on.
Do try their spa treatment. Its cheap and relaxing. Again, stay to bigger establishments and ask for the prices before you go in.
Lastly, if you have a group of 8-10 persons, I would highly recommend that you stay in one of those exclusive villas that are privately owned by foreigners. They are well managed and offers better value - 5-bedrooms with private baths, all meals included, 2 in-house maids, private swimming pool, game room equipped with Playstation 2 and a pool table and best of all a view to kill! As it is low season now, price starts from US$790 per night for the entire villa without 3 meals included, free flow of soft drinks and bottled water and a case of beer.
Have fun!
Why thumb down to nowhereman? He is right. There is so much to do in Phuket. Unless you tell us what you want to do - we cannot give you any estimate.
The cost depends on the type of activity you want to do and how many in a day. For example, if all you want to do is sigthseeing - the cost will be a lot less than if you were going to take island trips and snorkelling during the day then at night go to eating and drinking at Patong. There are also boating, parasailing, climbing, elephant trekking.
So much to do.
Just take as much as money as you can. No matter how much you take, it will never really be enough because there is something else you can do.
for 4 days and 3 nights - with no "extreme sports" - just basic sight seeing, give yourself at least $100 a day. That will give you some reasonable activity to just relax and have a good time.
not sure what you mean by activities. is that trips to other islands, diving trips, snorkeling trips, or trips around the island? More information would be helpful to give you a better answer.
