Phuket Information
Thailand’s most popular beach holiday area, Phuket is a tropical delight of white beaches and clear waters, complimented by all the facilities you could hope for on any holiday. There are options for those who love to party all night, as well as families or people looking for a quiet time relaxing.
Patong Beach is Phuket’s most developed, with restaurants and activities to enjoy. For a quieter and more relaxed beachside escape, try the idyllic locales of Kata, Karon and Surin. Water-lovers will be in heaven in Phuket, with the surrounding reefs, jungle paths, rice paddies and small slices of rainforest. Phuket City is worth a look, with its distinctive shophouses, delectable restaurants and shopping opportunities.
Alternatively visit the Phuket aquarium, play a round of golf or experience the excellent FantaSea cultural theme park to enjoy a dinner and show. Phuket is also an ideal base for exploring the Andaman region: take a boat trip around beautiful Phang Nga Bay, visit Phi Phi island, the Racha islands and the Similans, considered to be among the top ten dive sites in the world.
