Phuket is one of the world’s popular touristic destinations, due to its finest beaches, white
sands, nodding palm trees, glittering seas and lively towns.
It has something for any taste and budget, from its tropical shores to natures safari
adventures, Thai street food, night markets and fresh bazars without forgetting the booming
night life and crowded walking streets that makes your stay, an amazing unforgettable
adventure.
So let’s jump in to this tropical paradise and explore them one by one with some advices,
to make the best of each.
Patong Beach Although Patong beach is not that crystal
clear blue waters or shiny sand comparing to the other shores in Phuket, but its popularity
attracts millions of tourists from all over the world making it number one among Phuket
attractions.
The original success and popularity of Patong beach rotate around two things: its fantastic
2.5 km beach, and its worry-free wild nightlife.
What about the The rest?
Well Don’t blind yourself: shopping, dining, and foot massage are just the cream on the
cake.
So if you wanna see and make the best of patong beach, visit it in the afternoon where you
can enjoy some local activities, walk around take some golden hour pictures and watch the
beautiful sunset over Andaman sea.
Phi Phi Island tour After patong beach the 1st thing comes to
your mind is the Phi Phi Island tour, which is considered the most famous among all other
island tours in Andaman sea due to its popularity that came from the movies “the beach”
that made maya bay popular by the superstar casting Leonardo de caprio.
Although the famous Maya bay is closed now for coral re-habitation, but that doesn’t
take down the priority of the tour since you will still be enjoying kho phi phi don and
kho phi phi leh islands beside the monkey island and Viking caves, and some snorkeling
along the way with speed boat and a lunch at one of the surrounding islands.
So if you wanna make the best of Phi Phi island trip, book a speed boat tour enjoy the ride
take your tanning creams with you beside your cameras to take some memorable pictures to
talk about when you are back home.
Phang Nga Bay & the famous James Bond Island If you wanna visit more than an island in
Andaman sea Phang Nga Bay which is famous by James bond island is a great option after
Phi Phi Island tour.
Phang Nga Bay is unique.
A day out here is an unforgettable experience that will definitely get you excited.
A distinctive feature of the bay, is the sheer limestone cliffs that jut vertically out of
the emerald-green waters.
James Bond Island and Koh Panyee are just two of the more famous spots in this bay.
Just like all island tours don’t forget to take your sun protection creams and some
snacks since the speed boat ride is long and if you have seasick problems take some medicine
tablets with you so that your journey won’t be spoiled specially in low season where the
tides are high and waves are rough.
Safari & Nature tours After we have seen some of the beautiful shores
and islands in the Andaman sea, lets jump back to the main island Phuket where you can
book a safari tour to interact with nature and explore wild Phuket’s life closely.
These safari day tours come’s in packages and differs from each other by duration and
price, but most of them includes interesting activities like elephant feeding, visiting
pineapple farms, ATV ridings and exploring some of Phuket’s water falls.
You can include in your safari tour, a visit to tiger land where you can interact with
tigers and take some memorable pictures.
Our advice to you is to take full day tours that includes much more activities and fun
rather than a half day tour that could be short and not much interesting.
Big Buddah Another thing to see in the island is to visit
Big Buddha and enjoy the breathtaking views from up above.
Visible from most of the south of Phuket, the giant Buddha image, sits on the top of
the Hills and looks down over Chalong, Kata and Rawai.

the top is breathtaking.

and is visited by thousands each year.

glass pieces.
