Chennai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. Phuket follows Indochina Time (UTC+7:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Phuket is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Chennai at all times of the year.

On arrival in Phuket, you will disembark and proceed through immigration, baggage claim, and customs before entering the arrivals hall. Follow signs for transport options, such as airport buses, taxis, or pre-arranged transfers. It is a good idea to have your accommodation details and onward arrangements handy for a smooth arrival.

For international flights from Chennai to Phuket via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chennai International Airport around three hours before your scheduled departure.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the length of your stay in Thailand, and your travel purpose. We recommend that you check the latest entry rules with the relevant embassy or official government website before you travel, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity remaining.

Phuket has a warm, tropical climate, so light clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, and a hat are useful. A light rain jacket or compact umbrella is also helpful, especially during the green season. Comfortable footwear is recommended for walking in town and on tours, and you may wish to bring a reusable water bottle for day trips.
