Looking to head to hidden attractions in Phuket that are off the beaten path? You have come to the right place and below are such sites of interest to visit!
Layan Beach
If you want to soak up the sun and laze on the sand away from the crowds, then Layan Beach on the island’s west coast is the place to go. You can stay at properties like Anantara Layan Phuket Resort for unlimited access to the shore too; you can work on your tan, have a picnic, go for a swim, catch magical sunsets and dine amidst ocean views.
Mansions of Old Town
The island’s historical Old Town and Thalang Road, in particular, are popular for sightseeing in Phuket; luxury hotels within easy reach provide travellers with a chance to explore this area further to come across charming Sino-Portuguese mansions that now host various establishments. These include the Kiew Kai Ka Restaurant, Phra Pitak Chinpracha Mansion and Kanok Kwa House.
Black Rock Viewpoint
Karon Viewpoint is popular and attracts a lot of visitors, so if you’re looking for a less crowded alternative, head to the Black Rock Viewpoint. The ascent to this spot involves a journey on a dirt road by car or motorbike, followed by a bit of a steep climb; your exertions will be rewarded by some stunning views of Promthep Cape, Nai Harn Beach and beyond.
Wat Khao Rang
Another attraction that’s not as well-known is Wat Khao Rang which features an impressive golden sitting Buddha that’s well worth seeing. This sacred site can be found on Rang Hill (Khao Rang) and offers a peaceful setting where you can see local devotees along with various religious imagery and traditional carvings as well.
