Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flower delivery in Phuket

Why do you need a local Thai phone number for the recipient?

In Thailand every courier and delivery driver calls the recipient on arrival. This is standard practice because Phuket addresses are often unclear, buildings have multiple names, and Google Maps locations can be inaccurate. A reachable Thai number ensures the driver can confirm the location quickly and hand the bouquet directly to the right person.

Can you deliver without a local Thai phone number for the recipient?

No. Drivers will not accept a delivery job unless they have a local contact number for the person receiving the bouquet.

That said, if you don't know the recipient's number, we will help you.

We gather as much detail as possible about the delivery location. If the recipient is staying at a hotel, gym, training camp, condo, or business, we will:

  • look up their reception or office number
  • call them ourselves
  • confirm who the driver should contact on arrival

If we can find a reliable local contact connected to the location, we can deliver.

If we cannot find anyone reachable, we must refuse the order because the driver would have no way to complete the delivery.

Why do you ask for so many delivery details?

Gift deliveries in Phuket require more information than senders from overseas might expect. Many addresses:

  • have multiple names (official names, Thai nicknames, tourist nicknames)
  • appear in several English spellings
  • are incomplete or outdated in online maps
  • may change when new buildings are constructed

Drivers depend on clear directions, landmarks, and a local phone contact to ensure the bouquet reaches the correct recipient on time.

Why is Google Maps not always accurate in Phuket?

Phuket develops rapidly. Entire streets change layout, new buildings open constantly, and house numbers may be reassigned.

Even well-known places like Soi Ta-iad are known by multiple names including:

  • Soi Ta-iad
  • Soi Muay Thai
  • Fighter Street
  • Moo 1, Chalong

Because of this, local drivers rely heavily on phone calls and local knowledge rather than map pins alone.

The recipient is staying at a hotel. Isn't the hotel address enough?

A hotel address helps, but drivers still call on arrival because:

  • hotels often have multiple entrances or buildings
  • some are located inside gated areas or private roads
  • staff may need to guide the driver to the correct reception desk or room

A local phone contact ensures the bouquet is delivered smoothly and discreetly.

Can you leave the bouquet at a hotel reception without calling?

Only if the hotel allows it. Policies vary. Some receptions accept flowers on behalf of guests, while others require:

  • guest confirmation
  • room details
  • an in-person handoff

A call to reception or the recipient ensures the bouquet reaches the right person and is not misplaced.

Why do you ask for landmarks?

Landmarks are one of the most reliable ways to pinpoint locations in Phuket. Unlike fixed house numbering systems, landmarks such as cafes, gyms, training camps, temples, or 7-Elevens help drivers navigate quickly and avoid confusion.

What happens if the driver cannot find the location?

If the driver cannot locate the address, they will call the local contact number. If no one answers, delivery may be delayed. This is why providing a reliable contact is essential for successful flower delivery.

Why are delivery requirements stricter in Phuket than in my home country?

Many countries rely on rigid, standardised street addressing. Phuket relies more on:

  • local direction-giving
  • landmarks
  • phone confirmation
  • evolving street layouts

The extra details we request ensure your thoughtful gift arrives exactly where it should, without stress for you or the recipient.
