So, I'm thinking of booking a long-term stay at dCondo Campus Resort. It looks great online, but I'm a bit of a homebody and worried about the social scene. Is it easy to meet people there, or is it… more
Depends what you mean by "easy to meet people." It's not a party hostel, that's for sure. But it's not a hermit's cave either. You'll probably run into folks at the pool or the common areas – enough for a casual chat if you're inclined. If you really want to socialize, though, you'll have to put yourself out there a bit – join an activity, strike up conversations. Phuket itself has a pretty lively expat community, so plenty of opportunities outside the resort too. Think of it this way: the resort provides a comfortable base, but the social life is what you make it.

Phuket roosters, huh? Yeah, that's a classic. I've heard stories. Ear plugs. Seriously, good quality earplugs are your best bet. The kind that actually block out sound, not just muffle it.
