An island with much to discover, Phuket in Thailand has something for everyone and here are some of its best attractions that you can enjoy on your visit.
Mai Khao Beach
While there are idyllic stretches of shore on the island, one of the top spots to enjoy the sun, sand and sea, is Mai Khao Beach; you can stay right by the beach too at properties like Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas. Part of the Sirinat National Park, the shore here is a great spot to work on your tan, go for a dip, visit the Marine Turtle Foundation and even do some plane spotting!
Phuket Old Town
To soak up some local culture and gain insights into the island’s history, head to the Old Town of Phuket. Resorts can be found within easy reach of this area where you can wander around to see distinctive Sino-Portuguese buildings and shophouses; attractions here include the Thai Hua Museum, Shrine of the Serene Light and Phuket Town Central Market.
Phuket FantaSea
Ideal for families, Phuket FantaSea hosts a spectacular show that’s worth taking in. Named “Fantasy of a Kingdom”, it features a stunning live performance integrated with Thai culture and includes traditional dances, shadow puppets, trapeze artists and more. This site also offers lots of games and shopping options along with a grand buffet.
Bangla Road
When it comes to nightlife in Phuket, the hotspot to visit is Bangla Road near Patong Beach; come sunset, this locale transforms into a party playground, a colourful combination of loud music, neon lights and cheap drinks! You will find nightclubs, pubs, go-go bars, street performances and live music venues here, while you can catch ladyboy cabaret shows too.
