About Phuket, Thailand

Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand and is located off the southern shore. Beautiful sun soaked beaches are what Phuket is famous for, which has made it a major tourist attraction in the country.

Surfing, canoeing and speed boating are ways to explore the waves around the beach. Guests who travel by canoe can explore the islands surrounding Phuket which have become attractions in themselves. Phang Nga Bay is a visual treat with limestone rocks rising straight out of the sea while Panak and Hong Islands are surrounded by sheer cliffs and mangrove forests. This incredibly scenic location was used in the James Bond film ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ which is a testament to its beauty. When canoeing through the islands guests can traverse through dark but glimmering caves and emerge in to beautiful cliff lined lagoons in what becomes a very thrilling ride. Phang Nga Bay is only one of the main areas that compromise the islands surrounding Phuket, as there are 5 other attractions for guests to visit.

Besides canoeing through Phuket, travellers can also journey on the back of an elephant. Numerous elephant camps inhabit the island and are on offer which can make for a unique travelling experience.

A visiting family should also not miss the Phuket Aquarium that features an amazing 10 metre long underwater glass tunnel. Travelling through it immerses visitors in the sea and its inhabitants. The sea life is so close that it could almost be touched.

Bangkok is famous for its shopping but it isn’t the only option open to tourists. Over the years Phuket’s shopping facilities have grown to almost rival those of the capital. A diverse assortment of shopping options present themselves ranging from stalls on the beach to fully fledged shopping complexes.

The open beach life is the primary attraction sought by many visitors to Phuket. Resorts line the beautiful beaches of this island to offer a relaxing haven for visitors to reside in.
