My name is
Vitaliy.
I live in Phuket.

Vitaliy Tsvetkov — blogger in Phuket PHOTO · ABOUT Vitaliy · Phuket

A blogger who shows the island from the inside. — Fourth year in Phuket. Blog, videos, real experience.

I run a channel about Phuket, shoot videos, write on Telegram, and understand how excursions, rentals, currency exchange, and housing really work here. Not just "living on the island" — every day I talk to tourists, locals, and services, and I see where everything works and where it's just on paper.

Reputation matters to me. I only recommend what I'm truly confident about: tested personally or confirmed by people I trust. If I'm not sure about something, I say "I don't know." This is the only way to work long-term: people come back and bring friends because they know I won't drag them into a dubious place for a commission.

I don't work as "an agent who sells tours." I'm a blogger who filters the island and shares the results: this is good, this is unnecessary, this is definitely worth it, and this isn't. The rest is your choice.

I constantly visit different places, track changes on the island, and talk to tourists and locals. So what's on this site isn't dry theory from the internet — it's practical experience I share for free, for everyone who's coming or already here.

My principles.

I don't sell services and I don't charge subscribers. The blog is recommendations tested through personal experience. Here's what guides me.

01

Only verified

I recommend excursions, rental companies, exchange offices and hotels that I use myself or that have been confirmed by people I trust. If I haven't checked it — I don't recommend it.

02

Reputation comes first

There's no point in recommending "just anything" for a commission. One bad recommendation breaks the trust I've been building for years. So I'd rather stay silent than recommend something dubious.

03

Sharing experience for free

Blog, Telegram channel, YouTube, this website — everything is open. I don't charge for subscriptions or consultations. Ask questions — I answer.

04

Helping you navigate

Phuket's market is complex and overloaded with agents. My role is to filter the noise and show what actually works: where the clean beach is, a decent rental, an honest exchange, a reliable developer.

05

Connecting you with professionals

I don't book excursions, rent bikes, or sell condos myself. Everything is handled by my partners — people and companies I've worked with for years. You go directly to them, without markups.

06

Staying in touch

If something goes wrong with what I recommended — write to me. I always step in, help resolve it, find an alternative. No "that's not my problem" brush-offs.

How I can help.

I'm not an agency and I don't sell anything. I only recommend verified partners — those I work with personally and stand behind.

Why people trust me.

Phuket has hundreds of agencies, middlemen and touts. I'm not one of them. I'm a blogger, I've lived on the island since 2022 and found the best in every field. My job is to connect you with verified professionals. No middlemen, no markups.

All partners are licensed

Every company is officially registered in Thailand. Tour operators with TAT licenses, landlords with contracts, agents with proper documentation.

Best prices, no markups

I work directly with companies — no street touts, no hotel markups, no intermediary agencies. The same service for less than what you'd pay on the street.
