Phuket
The largest and most developed of Thailand’s islands, Phuket is the country’s second most popular destination. Tourists are drawn from across Asia, Europe and Australasia by its beautiful bays, beaches and turquoise-blue waters that run along its western coast. There is a huge range of top quality accommodations from which to enjoy your stay, whether you prefer the busy Patong Beach, or somewhere more peaceful and pretty such as Kata Beach.
Water sport activities are very popular, such as jetski, paragliding and scuba diving. Some of the most popular spots for a dive day trip include Shark Point, Phi Phi Island and the Similan Islands. Inland you can play golf on lush, award-winning courses, try your hand at go-karting, or go 10-pin bowling. A popular day trip will take you sea canoeing to explore the incredible Phang Nga Bay.
