Where do you start with Phuket: choosing a beach, or choosing what to do? Island Hopper TV has a guide for each, and both are keeping busy while the channel takes a week without new uploads.

"Best Things To Do in Phuket Thailand 2026 4K" is its most active video right now. The host starts at Kata Beach, moves through Patong and Bangla Road, then widens the itinerary to Phang Nga Bay, James Bond Island and the Phi Phi Islands. There is room between the beaches for cooking classes, Muay Thai and Old Phuket Town's Sunday Night Market. A useful practical note arrives at Surin Beach: "If you see a red flag, that means don't go."

The companion, "Best Places to Stay in Phuket Thailand 2026", tackles the decision that comes before those excursions. Its neighborhood-by-neighborhood route includes Kata, Karon, Rawai and Phuket Town, giving viewers a look at the surroundings rather than just a hotel shortlist.

Across the channel, the existing catalog collected roughly 776,000 views over the week and added 1,000 subscribers, a modest gain consistent with its monthly growth. Daily viewing is currently about a third above its usual level. Nearby travel channel Condé Nast Traveler is also viewing above its usual daily level, while Expedition Evans is having a quieter spell.

The Turkey guide we covered here in October remains among Island Hopper TV's busiest videos, but Phuket now supplies its two most active uploads: one for building the itinerary, the other for deciding where to unpack.
