✈️ Arriving: arrival flights and tips
We fly the executive class of Qatar Airways through Doha, and the service, comfort and flight experience were luxurious, establishing the perfect tone for a special trip. Some of our friends flew Emirates through Dubai, another airline that I love and I have previously used for me Dubai trip. For my travel outfit, I used Attic kid pants matched with The K Tank Top line, JW Anderson mulesand completed the look with my talent Lufly Chain.
If any of the airlines is considering, it cannot be wrong. Just be sure to get to Phuket’s HKT International AirportAnd if you stay in Surin PhuketThey offer airport transfers with early warning. I strongly recommend reserving this in advance.

Where we stayed
We recorded in Surin Phuketlocated in the impressive Persea beach. It was the perfect mixture of tranquility and five -star vibrations. Awakening the views of the ocean and taking coffee steps from the beach felt like a dream. Its villas in front of the beach are ideal for couples or small groups that seek privacy and pampering. For your information, if you plan to stay in Surin Phuket, keep in mind that it includes many stairs, without a elevator or mechanical staircase. You have many stairs to climb and front. They have this mini golf cart that can leave it close enough for their village, but still will have to climb a couple of stairs to reach their village, since they are located on the hill, an incredible view!

What to wear: Island style is with elegant elegance
Phuket is warm and humid in June, so think of fluid and breathable fabrics and high resort clothes. June is also the beginning of his rainy season, so he add a small umbrella while he was raining from time to time during our stay. I opted for advantageous dresses, denim shorts, matching two pieces and colorful accessories. For the jump of the island, an elegant one -piece swimsuit with mesh cover and a large Sunhat was my option. For the fire show and nightlife? Bring a fun and playful skirt or skirt: I went with this Mini Modernization DressAnd I used flat sandals during my stay, except the formal birthday dinner.
You can see all my outfits and traveling style of the trip in me Instagram @jadorEfashionincluding:

Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, a girl’s trip or your birthday celebration, Phuket will leave it breathless. This trip reminded me of hugging joy, being present and celebrating the beauty of life surrounded by those I love. The food was amazing … each of the food I ate. I have always been a great admirer of the Thai dishes. People are kind and cozy. Be sure to go through the mall, the tops and the 7-eleven for the snacks (I fell in love with this kat kat millo flavor) and masks for skin care. In the mall/market, Will bought silk scarves and many other memories.
