Phuket guide

Phuket, Thailand - an island of unlimited possibilities for both seasoned and novice travellers, young and old alike. Lying off the coast of Southern Thailand in the Andaman Sea, the island is a lush tropical haven resplendent with natural attractions that include white sandy beaches, clear blue waters, forested mountains, green valleys and exotic animal and plant life. Phuket also features a rich cultural heritage that derives from it's unique mix of people who come not only from Southern Thailand, but also from all regions of Thailand, neighbouring countries, and travellers from afar who have settled over the years. Buddhist and Muslim influences are ever present in the traditional agricultural based economy, which comfortably coexists with all that comes with a growing tourist industry.

Subsequently, visitors will delight in discovering quiet agricultural communities and fishing villages like Kamala Beach, yet be only a step away from tourist epicentres such as Patong Beach where world class hotels, restaurants, and a legendary night-life rivals the world's best. Phuket offers so much for everyone. Walk through some bustling open-air markets laden with the freshest seafood, fruits, vegetables, and sample from vendors selling all manner of tasty treats. Visit some of Phuket's upmarket boutiques and antique stores situated in renovated Chinese shophouses, or Sino- Portuguese buildings. Spend a morning indulging in your favourite water sport, then spend your afternoon on an elephant safari. Lie by the beach all day, or visit a spa and get thoroughly pampered. Choose to do nothing or everything - the opportunities are endless.
