Fabulous company - efficient and highly professional
Your service was superb. Paula kept me constantly up to date with my journey. She was very friendly and warm - a credit to your company. Will definitely use your services again in the future
Thank you very much Samuel Jalloh
Everything perfect as usual. Never had a problem. Excellent service
Chloe and Glen were really helpful each time I called and supportive in terms of any queries I had, really friendly and I will definitely get back in touch with either of them when I am planning another trip
Had a great holiday and many thanks to DialAFlight who were superb throughout. The flight went really smoothly
Booking was easy. Had to check a few things and communication was always fast
Another fantastic holiday organised by Kieran Greenfield at DialAFlight. As always everything went to plan and the family had a great time.
Troy is a credit to your company and cannot recommend his services highly enough
Rupert Chadderton was excellent throughout. He fully understood our preferences. All hotels, transfers, food were spot on.
Particular shout out to Chloe Ward who was our travel adviser and fantastic!
Michael organised two trips for us this year and both were fantastic. He always responded to our queries really quickly. We had an issue about our room booking in Thailand and this was resolved without hesitation.
Many thanks for sorting out our Thailand flights and the updates. We had a wonderful holiday made easier with booking our flights through yourselves.
Great holiday, everything pre-arranged and went as planned. Curtis also kept me informed of flight changes.
Thank you - supported a great trip. Appreciated.
Nicole was first class all the way through our booking. Very informative and honest. Itinerary on the app was priceless with all the information to hand. Thank you for making our holiday as stress free as possible.
Been booking with Charlie Miles for over 12 years. I wouldn’t use anybody else.
Very helpful and professional team, rare these days.
Fantastic service as always. Guy stayed in contact at all times to ensure the journey went as smoothly as possible.
Having DialAFlight support me during my journey to and from Thailand was a bonus. Travel isn't easy these days and airlines don't always deliver what you expect. The team at were there for me at the end of the phone ready to offer help when I needed it.
Nicky was fantastic!
Many thanks to Jordan. Our holiday was amazing from start to finish. We will never book a holiday with any other tour operator. DialAFlight never disappoints. All our dreams came true
Dominic, as always, amazing
Cheers Brody, see you in November
You provided an excellent service and I have already recommended you to a lot of my friends,
My experience with DialAFlight in such challenging times was excellent. Graham has the patience of a saint
Philippa has been excellent helping with changes and providing clear information in these challenging travel times
Everything was perfect
Disappointed in Thai Airways food and Business Class not worth the money but travel agent excellent
Great service, really impressed. Will be in touch later this year for some Australia flights.
Phuket may not be perfect. But parts of it are approaching that state of bliss. And it's fairly easy to avoid the parts that aren't.
For example, the busy beachside strip of Patong can be rather a test of patience for those of us who might have grown a little weary of sunset-to-sunrise shenanigans.
But that's not the whole story. After all, Phuket is quite a big island, stretching 30 miles north to south and 13 miles across (joined to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge) and it offers plenty of options for holidaymakers looking for almost-guaranteed sunshine.
It has come a long way since the days when it boasted just a few beach front bungalows for barefoot backpackers in the Seventies. Back then, it was a grim 17-hour bus ride to get there from Bangkok.
The construction of one international airport later, and there are more than 750 licensed places to stay, with 47,000 rooms available. And in the next few years another 35 hotels are expected to be built.
Mick Jagger, Beyonce, Kate Moss and Rihanna are among the celebrities who have all checked in at Phuket at one time or another.
Dream Phuket has large pool complex as well as a beach setting
On my most recent visit I stayed at the five-star Dream Phuket, a newish hotel on Layan Beach, a lovely, tranquil stretch of sand on the island's west coast. It is only 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport, but definitely away from any hustle and bustle.
It has giant beds in large rooms, partly open-plan bathrooms, an enticing swimming pool, international cuisine, a roof-top bar with infinity pool - from which there is a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding lush hills - and a great spa offering the full range of treatments including deep tissue massages, aloe wraps and spice scrubs.
At the signature restaurant Trilogy, there's a 'theatre' kitchen where you can watch the chefs sauté and flambé to their hearts' content.
The hotel is not directly on the beach, but it has a separate beach club, with sun loungers and private cabanas, just two minutes away by shuttle bus.
It is at the beach club that the young and fabulous from Russia, Singapore, Australia and Britain pose on their stools at the swim-up bar and use their phones to snap, study and share their selfies. All day long.
That is good news for the rest of us, as it means there's no wait for the cheap massages on the beach. They're seriously good; I couldn't resist having two in one day. During one of them, a vast man having a massage next to me snored loudly despite the fierce kneading.
Less than half a mile from our hotel is the Project Artisan, Laguna. A labour of love from a gentle Croatian couple with a deep affection for all things Thai, it's a restaurant and deli, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The hotel also offers foot massages and mani-pedis, while there are plans for a cookery school and art club.
A boat trip is a must. Some prefer to barter for a place on speedboats, which take a well-worn route to celebrity-touched islands such as Phi Phi Le, where Leonardo DiCaprio's film The Beach was shot.
I opted for a trip on a larger boat which motored to the less well-known Phang Nga Bay. If you want to be more active you can kayak, swim off the back of the boat - or watch long-tailed boats take visitors to the islands of Khao Phing Kan and (The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed here) before returning as the sun sets.
The boat crew speak fluent English and Chinese and, at the end of my trip, the captain said: 'If we have done anything wrong, we hope you forgive us.' There's absolutely nothing to forgive.
The next time I return to Phuket (and I will be returning) I hope to explore more of the island and perhaps fit in a safari experience – yes they offer safaris in Thailand! There are some great luxury safari companies which come highly recommended and offer authentic and respectful encounters with native wild elephants and other spectacular wildlife. After all, there’s more to Thailand than stunning beaches and spas- but it’s a good place to start.
