Plug Types:
- Type A (2-prong): This is the same as what you use in the USA, and it is compatible with many outlets in Thailand.
- Type B (3-prong): Also used in the USA, but not all outlets in Thailand will accept this plug.
- Type C (2-prong): This is commonly used in Europe and is also widely compatible with outlets in Thailand.
- Type O (3-prong): This is the official standard in Thailand. It is designed for devices that need grounding, but most outlets will also accept Type A and Type C plugs.
Our Recommendation:
- Adapters: You can use Type A, Type C, or Type O adapters in Thailand. To ensure flexibility and grounding where needed, consider bringing both a Type A/C adapter and a Type O adapter.
- Voltage Converter: If any of your devices are not dual voltage (110V-220V), you’ll need a voltage converter to safely use them in Thailand.

Sunday we have trekking in the morning, a benchmark (test your progress) class, a trip to the fresh market with our Executive Chef and straight after he will hold a cooking demo class (beginning September 8th), Muay Thai and then a night market trip on a Sunday so the day is still very much a full and active day. However, if you're staying a longer period, you don't need to partake in these every week so Sunday would be the best day to go sight-seeing - yes.
Bring training gear, such as shorts, t-shirts, training shoes, and socks.
For beach visits, pack swimwear and beach footwear, along with sun protection. Some guests also bring smart/casual wear for dining out or evening market trips, though this is entirely optional.

Thailand uses 220V electricity - with laptop computers and electronic devices it is recommended to bring a power converter.
Unfortunately, we cannot cater for babies and small children under the age of 16 at PhuketFit - however there are some resorts close by that you may contact that might provide more conducive accommodation for families.
Our cleanse program does not support Colon irrigation, however, we can set up for in-room self administered if that's of something you would like to do.
Yes we provide coffee.
We don't have a Barista or specialty coffee machine, yet (but its on the list 😉 ).
There is a nice coffee shop across the road though and a few really good ones within walking distance so you wont be starved of coffee drinking opportunities whilst you're here. 😉 😉
There is a lady across the road from PhuketFit who does all our guests washing and ironing. this is not included in the price, however, she is very reasonably priced.
"Pan" is open everyday from 7:30 am until 5:30 pm. She charges 60 Thb/Kg for just washing and packing & 70 Thb/Kg for wash, iron and pack. Most guests use her and have done for many years. It's also incredibly simple to wash and pack your clothes in your case when returning... and saves you a job when you get home 😉 😉
Alternatively, the tops convenience store directly across the road has a self service washing machine where you can wash and spin yourself that costs 30 Thb for 7Kg, but this doesn't dry your clothes. It's just a basic self-service wash and spin.
Personally, I would use Pan.
** Prices may vary
We don't offer an in-property/onsite laundry service but there is a self service laundry and a 'done-for-you' laundry shop across the road that handles our clients' laundry needs. Our most recent price update indicated the following prices:
> Self service
- 30 THB / 7kg Wash only, no spin, no dry.
>> Laundry Shop (done for you) =
- [Wash only] 60 THB / 1kg
- [Wash & Iron] 70 THB / 1kg
** Please note: This is not a PhuketFit service nor is it part of our business so it is an independent business transaction and service between our clients and another local business operator. PhuketFit can not be held liable for any issues resulting from using their services. We do not have a contract rate price for services so prices are down to the individual discretion of the independent business operator, therefore they are subject to change at any time.
