Taking pictures on Phuket
Phuket loves being photographed, in fact it’s a very photogenic part of Asia, with some fantastic vistas, great beach shots and lots of interesting people and activities. If you’re on the island in October get your camera ready for some bizarre pictures of Phuket Vegetarian festival as the locals turn out with all sorts of self mutilations and mega-piercing in their cheeks!
Thais don’t mind being photographed at all, but ask first (Tai ruup dai mai krap/ka - male/female speaker). They might whip out their own camera and insist taking a picture with you posing alongside them.
The best weather is from November to June when it’s dry and sunny, though you’ll want to get up early as it becomes too bright and hazy from 11am onwards. There are plenty of camera shops on the island and internet cafes all over the place to download all the pictures of Phuket from your memory card. Batteries and even cameras are widely sold, and certainly cheaper than your home country.
