Welcome to
Phuket
Thailand
Phuket is Thailand's largest island and its most developed beach destination — a tropical paradise of turquoise waters, white sand beaches, limestone karst scenery, and a resort infrastructure that ranges from backpacker bungalows to ultra-luxury private villas. Patong, Kata, and Kamala beaches each have distinct characters, while the day trips by longtail boat to the Phi Phi islands and Phang Nga Bay's famous James Bond Island scenery are among Southeast Asia's most iconic. Phuket Town's Sino-Portuguese heritage and the night markets of Rawai offer a glimpse of the island's culture beyond the beach, and the seafood — grilled on the beach at sunset — is some of the finest in Thailand.
