From a Traveller’s Lens: The Delhi to Phuket Journey

The journey from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) to Phuket International Airport (HKT) is a change from India’s fast-paced capital to Thailand’s laid-back island lifestyle. It is important to prepare for a change in climate because the tropical humidity of Phuket is different from the weather conditions in India’s capital. It is important to adjust to the local time zone and plan airport transfers to hotels in advance to have a better experience.
