Hotel Reservations In Phuket
| Phuket is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand. Each year thousands of people go to spend their holidays on the palm-lined breath-taking beaches of this island where spectacular tropical sunsets and stunning scenery awaits. |
That fact that Phuket is so popular hotel reservations can be difficult to make especially during the peak tourist season. Although the Internet has made it very easy for us to make hotel reservations in Phuket, your best source of getting affordable accommodation in the island is through hotel reservation agents based in Thailand or agents who have connections in Thailand.
No doubt you will tend to look at Expedia or Travelocity but you can be sure that the price for hotel reservations in Phuket will no match the local travel sites. The reason why you should look for Thailand based hotel booking sites is because these sites get their rates through the local hotel wholesalers, who in turn get their rates directly from the hotels.
Many online Asian travel agents make you pay for your hotel reservations in Phuket in advance with an excuse that they will pay the hotel to reserve the room rate for you. Invariably this is not true as most them only pay after you have checked out from the hotel. So, be careful of this. This said, these travel agents will definitely give you a better rate than those in the US.
Another source for making your hotel reservations in Phuket is to directly get in touch with the hotel. You can do this by going to the hotel’s website and making a reservation using their online booking form. Or else, you can send them a fax. Many times, it might be better to send a fax as you can negotiate the rate.
