Phuket

White sandy beaches, crystal clear water, the spectacular backdrop of huge limestone cliffs and the endless hospitality of the locals transform Thailand's largest island into a tropical holiday paradise. Relax on the gorgeous sandy beaches of the west coast and go cycling or hiking along the tropical jungle landscapes and waterfalls in the island's interior. Are you looking for entertainment and a lively nightlife? Then the popular Patong Beach is the place to be. Karon and Kata beaches are much quieter, but offer a wide range of water sports. When dusk falls, you can end the day in one of the many beach bars on Surin Beach. At Bangtao Beach you will find both simple beach bungalows and luxurious 5-star hotels. The beach is ideal for those who don't want a lot of hustle and bustle, but still appreciate a couple of restaurants and bars.

Phuket also has a lot to offer for those interested in culture: Wat Chalong is the largest temple complex on the island and has a beautiful chedi with typical southern Thai influences. The Big Buddha, a 45-metre-high sitting Buddha, is enthroned in the centre of the island of Phuket, from whose foot you have a magnificent view over the island and sea.
Phuket Town, the capital of the province, is in itself a unique attraction that has retained its incomparable charm despite the flourishing tourism of recent decades.

Accordingly, the old town reflects the diversity of the island and charms visitors with its picturesque Sino-Portuguese-style buildings and small Chinese shrines. Immerse yourself in typical southern Thai life and visit the beautiful Thalang Road. Every Sunday, it is transformed into a sea of lights with small stalls selling local delicacies, souvenirs as well as musical and artistic performances. Or explore Phuket Town on your own. Climb the largest hill in the region along the countless groups of macaque monkeys and enjoy the view over the whole town from a great viewing platform. For an extra dose of thrills, visit the Hanuman World Phuket Adventure Park or the International Wake Park.
Whether for young or old, groups or solo travellers – the pearl of the Andaman Sea offers everything your heart desires.
