Phuket, a paradise that sunseekers escape to, has never really been on my bucket list but I'm so glad I got to visit recently because I was attending a wedding there! While doing my research, I learnt that the entire island is filled with resorts and hotels, and proves to be a destination wildly popular with tourists. As I was browsing social media platforms, I was greeted with videos of bars with breathtaking views, happy visits to elephant sanctuaries, gorgeous accommodation options, fun island-hopping trips, and loads of local Thai food. Boy, was I excited.
With so many accommodation options available, it was real difficult to decide where to stay. For our 4-night trip, we decided to stay at 2 different places. For the first two nights, we picked The Slate because it was near the airport, and the sea, and we wanted to just relax in a very well-equipped resort. It turned out that we made an excellent choice — from the airport pick-up and welcome reception, to the room and spa service, everything was perfect.
