Beaches

The beach is accessible by boat only, however it is only a short ride from Karon, Tri Trang and Patong beach. The boats can be privately hired, or you can get a ride on a long-tail boat for around 1500 baht return. This beach is one that should be experienced during your time on Phuket as it truly is spectacular. Good choice in low season as the sea remain quiet an friendly.

If you are looking for an extraordinary beach to go snorkelling on, there are plenty to choose from on the island; however my absolute favourite choice is Ao Sane Beach (near Nai Harn). This beach is a well kept secret on the southwest side of the island and is small, measuring a mere 200 meters in length.

Patong Beach could be your perfect beach if you are looking for a beach with a constant buzz as well as activities and water sports going on throughout the day. Due to the fantastic nightlife and number of hotels and holiday rentals in Patong, there are always people around during the day too. Whether you just want to meet new people or you simply want to enjoy some activities while on the beach, Patong Beach has it all.

When looking for a beach to enjoy on a couples holiday, you may be more interested in the more secluded beaches on the island. There are many well kept secret beaches on Phuket, however if you are looking for somewhere easily accessible and less crowded, we recommend Mai Khao Beach. This beach is the longest in Phuket (11km), yet there are still some entirely deserted areas which are perfect if you’re looking for complete peace and relaxation. Parts of the beach are by the National Park which is one of the reasons why it remains as untouched as it is. If you are looking to enjoy a meal and refreshments on the beach, you will need to bring your own. At the moment, there are no restaurants or cafes near the beach.

Достопримечательности

This viewpoint is the perfect place to view the sunset during your Phuket stay. Not only do you have a lovely view here, but there is a small beach below (Naiharn Phuket) for you to also enjoy and make a full day out of your visit. In comparison to some of the other viewpoints in Phuket, Windmill Viewpoint is less commercialised and as a result less crowded. There is a sheltered area and some seating for those in need of some shade during their visit. Useful info – If you are unsure about whether you are going in the right direction, follow the windmills! There are a limited amount of parking spaces in the parking area.

If you are in the south part of Phuket near Karon, you might spot the Big Buddha from afar as it is an impressive 45m white marble statue at the top of a hill. It is worth a visit just for the panoramic views which are spectacular.

A famous ‘sitting Buddha’ golden temple built on the side of the Khao Rang Hill and not far from Phuket Town. It is generally less busy than Wat Chalong and is an impressive sight. There are lots of steps up to the temple but the climb is worth it.

A very old Phuket temple near Layan / Bang Tao Beach, which is famous for its half buried golden Buddha which legend has it – is untouchable. Over the years various people have tried to remove the Buddha but they all became ill and are said to have been cursed. The most recent incident of this tale was when the Burmese army tried to take the statue back to Burma. The soldiers tried to dig up the statue they were attacked by ants and many became ill and died. A monk finally persuaded the village to build a temple around the half buried statue.

If you want to experience some good views, as well as making some new friends, you should go to Monkey Hill one of the original Phuket attractions. The hill is very popular with monkeys and there are thought to be around 400 living there in different groups. The monkeys are fed by locals, however they usually don’t approach people passing by. If you are planning to come here with children, be aware of the fact that the hill is fairly steep and that although the monkeys are usually peaceful and not interested in human contact, they are wild and could approach.

Right next to the airport, Splash Jungle Water Park is situated at the north of the island and is minutes from the beach. Although great fun, water parks are often over-crowded and queues can put a dampener on the day. At Splash Jungle not only are the rides incredible but you will only ever have two or three people ahead of you. The park features a 335-metre long ride and plenty of tubes, drops and splash pools. Although this is a very family-friendly activity, height restrictions do apply.

If there’s one thing kids love it’s dinosaurs. If there’s one thing everyone loves it’s mini golf. A fun activity in a cool, alternative setting this is the perfect day out to enjoy with your family. Far more than just decoration, the dinosaurs move, there are lighting and sound effects and even a volcano which erupts with smoke and flames.

A sure sign you’re in a tropical paradise is beautiful birds. And you won’t find birds as beautiful or in so greater number as you will in Phuket Bird Park. The picturesque park is set on a hillside and features African crowned cranes, Nicobar pigeons, Siamese pheasants and even ostriches and emus. There are also three cafes, a souvenir shop and lots of cool, shady corners from which to appreciate the beauty of the park.

Anthem is a cable park so you’re propelled by an overhead cable and the idea is to hang on and board across the surface of the water. Easier said than done! Anthem has a 50,000-square-metre freshwater lake, serviced by three cables. It is the only clockwise park in Asia and comes complete with ramps and sliders. Located near Cherng Talay, the park is easy to get to and also features a bar and restaurant with free Wi-Fi.

Boat Avenue is a great place to have dinner or lunch or visit a big supermarket to pick up goods for home. You will find a lot of restaurants with various cuisine at any taste and budget. I would recommend Pan bistro with seafood, Totonka with eclectic cuisine Black Cat or Sanset with traditional and European food. There are Burger King, Segafredo and other food & beverage shops there as well.
