Halal food
- Ask your resort for its halal menu in advance; many of Phuket's large resorts prepare halal meals on request, so confirm when you arrive.
- In Bangkok there are upscale halal restaurants in the big malls and along Sukhumvit; look for the green logo of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand.
- When you book the private boat, ask for a halal lunch on board; it is easier to arrange than on group tours.

Practical tips
- For December to February, book the villa and private boat 2 to 3 months ahead; the best options go early.
- Ask the hotel for a private airport pickup, or pre-book one at a fixed price.
- Pick the area to suit you: Kamala and Surin for calm, Bang Tao for big resorts.
- Read cancellation terms carefully; peak-season bookings are often non-refundable.
