    Harnek's 6 days trip to Phuket

    Our recent family trip to Thailand (booked for 2 adults and our 3-year-old daughter) was unfortunately marred by constant issues and last-minute financial demands from SPSV TRAVELS (booked via Travel Triangle). ​The core problem stemmed from the inaccurate booking: despite clear communication that our child was 3 years old, the package was booked only for "2 adults and 1 infant." We were assured by Mr. Krishna and Khushi Gupta that this would not cause an issue, yet it became a source of trouble throughout the trip. ​Last-Minute Price Hike: Immediately after booking, Mr. Krishna requested an additional ₹6,000 citing a sudden change in flight prices. ​Inflexible Itinerary: We were denied a simple itinerary swap—even with three days' notice—being told we could only cancel an activity, not substitute it. ​Mid-Trip Extortion: The most unacceptable issue occurred at the Underwater World attraction. The driver suddenly demanded money, stating our 3-year-old's ticket was not included. When we contacted Mr. Krishna and Khushi Gupta, we were essentially threatened that the "on ground team [would] stop their service" unless we paid immediately. ​Imagine having to deal with these unforeseen costs and stressful situations in the middle of a trip with a small child. This experience was deeply unprofessional, ruined the spontaneity we expected from a holiday, and demonstrated a clear breach of trust. ​Future travelers should be highly cautious of SPSV TRAVELS' practices regarding accurate traveler details, price guarantees, and their handling of on-ground service. Disappointing Experience with SPSV TRAVELS/Travel Triangle

FAQ's of Phuket

The best way to reach Phuket is by air. There are many flights available from some of the major cities of India like Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and New Delhi to Phuket International Airport. These flights consume less time and help in making your travel experience less tiring and within the budget.

 

The best way to get around in Phuket is by hiring a car or a bike, because the local transportation like tuk-tuk and taxis may charge you more, and it might be difficult to bargain with them every time one has to travel from one place to another. However, understand all the traffic rules very well before going for the driving experience.
