About the Phuket Hotel Map
- PLEASE NOTE : YOU MAY HAVE TO TURN OFF YOUR BROWSER POP-UP BLOCKER TO SEE HOTEL DETAIL PAGES IN A NEW WINDOW.
This map is a new addition to the Phuket Hotel Guide (1st September 2011) and contains a big selection of hand-picked hotels from all price ranges. The summary descriptions in the left panel are provided by The Phuket Holiday Guide rather than by the hotelliers and should therefore be more objective than those found on many sites. Our comments are generally positive but that simply relects the reason why they were chosen. We do, however, recommend that visitors also read the detail on the hotel page, including customer reviews before booking to be sure that any hotel they've chosen meets their expectations. We've done our best to pick worthy establishments and hope it proves a useful tool to our visitors.
Tips :
- If the map freezes refresh the page in your browser.
- The "Prices and Info" will open a new window with Agoda's page for the selected hotel. You may need to disable your pop up blocker to see this.
- The map depends on Google satellite images. If the area you are looking at is covered in cloud press the "Map" button at the top right of the picture to see a road map version. Press "Hybrid" to switch back.
- If you click on the link to view the hotel's detail page on Agoda and it does not work then disable your pop-up blocker for this site only. A new window is opened only to save users having to reload the map if they want to view multiple hotels.
Map Functions :
- If you prefer to see a ROAD MAP click the "MAP" button at the top right. Clicking "HYBRID" will return to the satellite view.
- To "drag" the map - left click on the map and drag it while holding the button down.
- Zoom in and out : use the + and - slider.
- Clicking a hotel icon will centre the map on the clicked hotel as well as showing the hotel description and photo in the left panel.
- When the map is centred on a hotel after clicking its icon or by clicking the "Locate on Map" button a yellow marker will display above the icon. The marker will disappear as soon as the map is dragged.
- The grey up and down arrow buttons under the hotel text allow scrolling through all the Phuket hotels in the map database. To centre the map on the hotel described, press the "Centre Map on this Hotel" button.
- The dropdown list below the ""Centre Map on this Hotel" button allows a particular hotel to be selected. Pressing the first letter of the hotel name will position the list to names beginning with the pressed letter. Once selected, the description and photo will appear. Press "Locate on Map" to centre on the hotel's icon.
- Clicking the "Read More About This Hotel" link at the bottom of a hotel description will open that hotel's detail page on the Agoda Hotels website in a NEW PAGE. This saves having to reload the map if you want to look at multiple hotels.
