The Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) project is a result of cooperation between the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Ministry of Public Health, the Department of Disease Control, the Department of Health and the Department of Health Service Support, as well as government and private sector organizations involved in the tourism industry. Together they aim to make tourism a part of Thailand’s disease prevention measures and ensure that both Thai and foreign tourists have a positive experience.
They are happy and confident in the sanitation and safety standards of our accommodation and staff and we are now SHA approved. This has been achieved by combining public health safety measures and our high-quality service standards to reduce the risk and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Various boards, federations, and associations in the tourism industry are in charge of inspecting the checklist and certifying the result of improving a workplace according to the SHA standards.
TAT has awarded the Villas Phuket SHA certificates, and assigned a serial number - B3455 which covers each of our 20 luxury holiday villas here in Nai Harn and Rawai, Phuket.

Exchange and Banking:
t is worth bearing in mind that although major credit cards and travelers cheques will be accepted in large outlets, selected restaurants and some tour companies in Phuket, many places will only accept cash. Therefore we recommend exchanging travelers cheques in banks or authorised exchange booths for Thai Baht and using cash for everyday purchases. ATMs are widespread across the island so you’re never too far away from an access point. If you do wish to exchange cash we advise only to use reputable banks and hotels and limit the cash you carry on you to the amount needed for the day. Please note that coins cannot be converted on departure. It is also recommended that you save the receipts from your currency exchange transactions as they may be needed if you intend to reconvert Thai Baht at the end of your stay.
All our villas are privately owned so we regret we do not have the facilities to accept credit cards.
Tipping advice:
High-end restaurants and hotels usually include a 10-15% service charge, so although it is not necessary to leave an additional tip (there is some controversy whether this amount actually goes to the waiting staff) it is left to your discretion. The majority of smaller restaurants do not include service on the bill and staff would be pleased to receive a 10% tip if you feel the service was satisfactory.
It is the custom to tip staff such as chefs, drivers and housekeepers. Any gratuity will be very much appreciated, but completely up to you and should be given directly to the person you intend it for.
Arrival and Departure formalities:
All Travel documents are the responsibility of guests and should be thoroughly checked before leaving for Thailand. All guests will need a valid passport and the expiry date should be at least 6 months beyond the completion of your trip. Your passport should contain enough blank pages for entry and exit stamps issued when passing through immigration. Visa requirements differ from country to country and are subject to change – so you must ensure you have the correct documentation. For stays in Thailand of a maximum of 30 days – visas are issued on arrival for tourists from most countries. However longer stays will normally require a tourist visa obtained from a Thai Embassy in your country of origin or departure point. It is strongly advised that you check specific visa requirements particular to your country of residence well in advance of travelling
Once your Nai Harn accommodation and arrival details in Phuket have been confirmed, we will advise you on the airport transfer procedure and transport to your residence.
