Surrounded by the Andaman Sea and located towards the southwest of Thailand, the island of Phuket is now a popular paradise for island vacationers. With white sandy beaches, green tropical environs and a vibrant culture, Phuket is filled with sights and experiences that you won’t find anywhere else.
Best Time to Visit
The months between November and April are the ideal months during which you can visit the island. This is when the weather conditions are perfect for outdoor activities, especially if you plan to visit the beach and go for a swim.
How to Get Around
Most visitors arrive on the island via the Phuket International Airport and then make their way from there to any of the 5 star resorts in Phuket. The easiest way to get around the main town is via tuk-tuk but if you want to venture beyond the town’s limits you’ll need a taxi or a rental vehicle.
Things to Do
If you are staying at a wellness resort like Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, you can stay within the premises and enjoy a relaxing spa or wellness retreat. If you prefer to venture out, there are several cultural and religious temples to explore. You can also enjoy underwater adventures at any one of the island’s magnificent beaches. Phuket also has a vibrant nightlife culture you can explore to liven up your evenings.
Food
Phuket is abundant in restaurants that serve a mix of cuisines including Thai, Asian and Western classics. But if you’re visiting for the first time, explore the fiery flavours of Thailand’s cuisine and don’t miss out on the island’s sumptuous seafood delights.
