Bali or Phuket: where better to fly

Why are these 2 islands so attractive? Let's figure it out. People who have already been to one of these two islands will definitely not remain indifferent to a second trip. All tourists are attracted there by the temperature of the water and air, the tropical climate and exotic fruits. Recently, a trend has emerged - solitude with nature. People want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, breathe fresh air and listen to birdsong. Villas, apartments and apartments located in Bali and Phuket cope with these tasks. But which island to choose if the budget is limited or there are special preferences?

 Bali is the island of the gods, thousands of temples, the pearl of the Indian Ocean, but whatever you call it, it is one of the most famous islands on the planet.

 Phuket is one of the most beautiful islands in the world and an ideal place for a winter beach holiday in harmony with nature at an optimal price-quality ratio.

2) Geography and climate

It is simply incorrect to compare the two islands in size. Although Phuket is considered the largest of the Thai islands, it is 10 times smaller than Bali's 5,780 square meters. km. While in Phuket, tourists will enjoy swimming in the waters of the Andaman Sea, while in Bali they will be able to sway on the waves of two oceans - the Indian in the south of the island and the Pacific in the north. Bali has an equatorial monsoon climate, because the island is located almost at the equator, more precisely, 375 km to the south, the period from January to March is considered the wet season.

Undoubtedly, a direct flight is much more convenient than connecting routes. Here is the palm of Phuket, where direct regular and charter flights fly from Moscow. In Bali there is a direct flight only from Moscow, and from other cities you can get to the island only with transfers, but this inconvenience can easily be made an advantage by offering customers a tour with a flight on Singapore Airlines and providing a short stop to get to know Singapore, as a result, tourists will receive the opportunity to visit two countries. Nevertheless, if your tourists are in the first place - time and direct flight, then Phuket looks preferable.

4) Visa regime

In this matter, the islands have full parity - both to Thailand in Phuket and to Indonesia on the island of Bali for Russians there is a visa-free entry (according to the stamp received at the airport). Most importantly, do not forget to pay attention to the validity of your tourists' passports (six months at the end of the trip) and the length of stay up to 30 days.
