Im off to LOS in 4 weeks time for a month, at present wil lbe between BKK and Pattaya but should I decide once Im there Id like to see Phuket for a week, will it be easy enough to book a flight and hotel while Im in Thailand?

Unsure if doing it online or going into a travel agency will be better?

Should I book the hotel before I arrive there, or being low season will it be better to turn up and find one?

Also, how big an island is Phuket?

Many thanks in advance

you shouldn't experience any problems getting a flight bkk-hkt - several airlines fly that route (thai, nok, bkk air, airasia, 12go etc) and it'll be low season. I could be wrong but I think only bkk air fly from pattaya to phuket.

shouldn't be a problem re the hotel either but - assuming this is your first phuket visit - it might be an idea to get somewhere sorted first. last july I just found somewhere on arrival.

personally I book flights/hotels online to avoid agent fees.

how big an island is Phuket?

em, quite big. biggest in thailand.
