Hotel Concierge
If staying at an upscale hotel, you can ask your concierge to recommend interesting
activities. Besides being a source of valuable information, concierge staff can also of-
ten secure the best seats at restaurants, or for shows like the Phuket Fantasea .
Many hotels create tours exclusively for their guests.
Television
Most hotel rooms have access to CNN or BBC, which provide global weather updates.
Thailand does not have its own English TV station, but many hotels provide weather
updates, upcoming events, and local features on their in-house programming.

Weather Reports
When planning a day out, it is a good idea to check the weather forecast beforehand,
especially during the rainy season. Downpours can occur with little warning. Weath-
er forecasts are available on TV, radio, or the Internet, or best of all, ask a local. The
Thai have an uncanny sense of knowing when it will rain.
