The glory of Phuket tourism is in its resplendent coast. This southern island is surrounded by warm turquoise waters of the Andaman. Thailand beach travel does not get any better than this, with coral reefs, cliffs, spectacular bays that range from calm and blue water beaches to rocky forelands pounded by high raging surfs. And while the coastline is considered as the icing on the cake, the cake itself is just as desirous. Phuket Tourism offers its tourists a lot more than just beaches. The island is a mixed bag of temples, aquariums, theme parks, golf courses, waterfalls, war monuments, museums and wildlife sanctuaries. A few of the must-see places in Phuket include:

• Hat Patong (Patong Beach)

Located approximately 15 kilometers from the city, this beach is one of the most vibrant and most visited in Thailand beach travel. With a picture perfect postcard view of a 3-kilometer long white sandy beach this one is perfect for swimming, lazing, and enjoying challenging water sports such as jet skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling, sailing and parasailing. The beach offers all ranges in accommodation, shopping and a dazzling night life.

• Phi Phi Island

With just a short 45–minute journey from Phuket, you will be transported to the tropical paradise and famous islands of Ko Phi Phi. It’s the ultimate tropical getaway in Phuket tourism, where every moment is picture perfect.

• Phuket Fantasea

Located on Kamala beach, Phuket Fantasea is the ultimate night-time cultural theme park of Phuket. It has won several awards including the ‘Best Attraction Thailand Tourism Award’

Attractions include the Culture-Illusion Stage Show, Fantasy of the Kingdom and a spectacular buffet restaurant Golden Kinnaree Restaurant.

• Wat Phra Thong

A temple which remains as mysterious today, as it did centuries ago. A major attraction in Phuket tourism, the temple has a solid gold idol of Buddha. But here’s what should interest you – the idol apparently cannot be moved. The legend goes that hundreds of people who have tried to move it since it was first found, have died. Located in Thalang, away from highway 402, this mystery temple attracts thousands of tourists every year.

With an array of international and domestic travel options and its grand hospitality, Phuket tourism offers everything you can dream of in Thailand.
