Phuket
Thailand – Andaman Coast
Phuket is Thailand’s largest and most popular island, offering a mix of tropical beaches, buzzing nightlife, cultural landmarks, and laid-back coastal charm. Nestled in the sparkling Andaman Sea, the island is a gateway to unforgettable island-hopping, vibrant marine life, and lush inland jungles.
Each part of Phuket offers something different — from the energetic beach bars and markets of Patong, to the peaceful sands of Kata, Karon, and Bang Tao. Inland, visitors can explore Big Buddha, traditional temples, elephant sanctuaries, and hilltop viewpoints offering sweeping ocean views.
Phuket is also a fantastic base for boat trips to nearby destinations like Phi Phi Islands, James Bond Island, and Similan Islands. With luxurious resorts, authentic Thai cuisine, and plenty of wellness experiences, Phuket balances relaxation and adventure beautifully.
