Hey Hayley..

What are you plans for your stay. if i might ask ?
Some week/month relaxing, stay longer time, try find work or ??

And maybe tell what kind of standard for room, food and so on you need, want here. Think that make it a bit easy for people to try help out.

And maybe write where at Phuket you going to stay around.

Patong at Phuket cost so must more then other placer.
Where Phuket Town (city) cost only a little more.
This is from my trip to Phuket - Patong, other might think different.

One thing to remember if coming long time, that to read you health insurance and see how long it cover you aboard.
And if you didn't have any, get one before coming here.
Be 100% sure you are cover the whole time you here.

Only write this because i see to many "forget" it or don´t care about it, onto the day somethings happened to them.

Other then that, i hope you have a great trip, lot of fun.

We lived in Phuket for 3 months. Your start up money should be OK. If you have a degree you should be fine to work at one of the bilingual schools. Check out ajarn.com for teaching postings. Sometimes you can setup a job over skype before arriving. One thing to keep in mind with Phuket is there is very little public transportation so you will probably have to rent a motorbike to get around. Let me know if you have more questions!
