Destination Guide

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and a major tourism and hospitality centre, offering opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, spas, events, retail, marine activities, and supporting business services. The culture combines Thai traditions, Buddhist values, local seafood communities, and an international expatriate presence. Lifestyle options range from quiet beaches and wellness activities to nightlife, markets, island trips, and water sports. Living costs vary, with accommodation near resorts and beaches generally higher than in Phuket Town or inland areas. Foreign interns normally need the appropriate visa and work authorization arranged with the employer and educational institution; requirements can change, so confirmation from the Thai embassy and Marriott is essential before travel. Employers may request university documentation, passport details, medical checks, and an internship agreement. Relocation planning should include housing, transport, health insurance, local banking, and emergency contacts. Phuket International Airport provides convenient international and domestic access.
