Destination Guide

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and a major destination for tourism, hospitality, wellness, marine activities, and events, creating regular opportunities in hotels, restaurants, travel companies, retail, and recreation. Mai Khao is quieter and more residential than Patong, while Phuket Town offers local markets, cafés, culture, and more affordable everyday services. Island life is warm, social, and outdoors-oriented, with beaches, boat trips, diving, temples, and Thai festivals forming part of the experience. Living costs vary, but shared accommodation, local food, and motorbike transport can make it manageable; international areas are more expensive. Foreign interns must confirm the correct visa and work authorization with the employer and Thai authorities before arrival, as tourist status generally does not permit employment. Employers may assist with documentation, but applicants should budget for deposits, insurance, transport, and initial living expenses.
