About Phuket

Phuket is Thailand's largest island and its most developed — a destination that has traded some of its natural beauty for the infrastructure of a mature resort. Yet rewards remain: Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts rising from emerald water (kayak into cave lagoons inaccessible except at low tide), quieter beaches at Kata Noi and Nai Harn, and Phuket Old Town's Sino-Portuguese architecture. The Phi Phi Islands are an easy day trip.

Highlights

  • Phang Nga Bay sea kayaking (James Bond Island)
  • Big Buddha hilltop statue panoramas
  • Patong beach and Bangla Road nightlife
  • Kata Noi and Nai Harn quieter beaches
  • Phi Phi Islands day trip snorkelling
  • Phuket Old Town Sino-Portuguese shophouses
