Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and a top-notch tourist attraction. It features scenic surroundings dotted with high-end resorts, restaurants, spas, nightclubs, and everything the eclectic crowd could wish for.

The main attractions in Phuket include The Big Buddha, Patong, Kata, and Karon Beach, Banzaan Fresh Market, Ko Hong Lagoon, and Old Phuket Town. Treat yourself to some of the most thrilling adventures you can take on the island, from island hopping to all-night partying, shopping, swimming, diving, snorkeling, and even hiking. Moreover, enjoying the beautiful beaches while discovering the local lifestyle guarantees the best experience of Phuket. And for a great price, too. Some people also love coming here to shop. That’s because Jungceylon Shopping Center, Premium Outlet, and Central Festival offer lots of good buys you would love coming home with.

 Phuket is a well-connected destination with an extensive network, consisting of domestic and international flights. Regular schedules are available from Phuket to Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne, Abudhabi, Manila, and back.

Where to Stay in Phuket

Click below & search recommended Phuket hotels/hostels/home rentals within your budget. Remember to set your min/max price, travel dates, and sort by review ratings. I often book online with these trusted booking sites below for rock-bottom prices & convenient bookings.

Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
