Sirin is the BEST!
My recent trip to Chiang Mai was nothing short of magical, and our tour guide played a huge part in making it so memorable. From the moment we met, Sirin welcomed us with warm hospitality and an infectious passion for sharing the beauty, history, and culture of northern Thailand. More

Excellent Trip Planning by Alisa Liu at Asia Highlights
Alisa did a wonderful job! She was very detail oriented, extremely responsive and answered my questions very promptly. She incorporated all of the places we wanted to visit and was able to book hotels, airline tickets and special event tickets (to the Chiang Mai CAD Khomloy Sky Lantern Festival which was sold out when I tried booking on my own.) Alisa was great to work with and I recommend that others use her for their trip planning. More

Tips for Visiting Phuket in April
April is the hottest month in Phuket. If you are planning a trip to Phuket in April, be prepared for the hot weather conditions and the start of the rainy season later in the month.
April is the time to experience Thai New Year (Songkran Festival), which is celebrated on April 13th–15th. Phuket is a popular destination for international tourists to celebrate the Songkran Festival. Streets and beaches will be very crowded and noisy as water fights happen there from time to time during Songkran. Hotels rooms and flight tickets are sold out quickly around Songkran. So, book your April trip to Phuket as soon as possible.
Top Things to Do in Phuket in April
Here are some of the things you can do in April.
1) Take Part in the Songkran Parties at Patong Beach
As Phuket's most bustling and popular beach, Patong Beach is a good place to experience the fantastic Songkran Festival. There will be many Songkran parties held during Songkran.
Patong Beach is well-known for its abundant restaurants, cafés, bars, and hotels. So, you can enjoy the nightlife there throughout April, with various bars, clubs, and cabaret shows.
2) Visit Phuket Old Town
Phuket Old Town is another place to experience Songkran Festival where you can also learn about the history of Phuket and its unique culture. As you walk around the colorful Chinese-Portuguese architecture, you'll find there are many well-preserved shophouses, foreign-looking buildings, temples, and shrines along the old streets.
3) Wander around Phuket's Night Markets
If you don't want to go out during the hot daytime, you should visit Phuket's night markets in the evening. There you can see the real Phuket, meet the locals, seek out affordable buys, and taste Thai street food.
4) Take a Trip to the Phi Phi Islands
As one of the top island holiday destinations in Phuket, Ko Phi Phi is well known for its crystal-clear, turquoise waters, stunning limestone cliffs, and all kinds of outdoor sports activities. Snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, and rock climbing are some of the most popular activities. You could spend a day there exploring its beautiful smaller islands.
5) Relax with a Thai Massage
If you feel exhausted after a day's touring, then choose a massage shop in Phuket to relax. Phuket offers the best massage services in Thailand. You can easily find a Thai massage shop in the main street or market areas of Phuket. Most of Phuket's best massage shops are located in the Patong Beach area.
