Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and has become a world-renowned tropical retreat for many avid holidaymakers. Read on to uncover some helpful tips to plan the adventure of a lifetime!
Best time to Visit
The peak tourist season is during December and February, so if you aren’t a fan of swarming crowds, you may want to visit during the off-peak season. However, the trade-off is that you will have to see the island from the lens of the monsoon. If you don’t mind a bit of rain, the island is still beautiful and worth exploring!
Where to stay in Phuket
Picking a base that is both convenient and can also offer an oasis of seclusion to its travellers is the ideal holiday spot. Layan Residences by Anantara which is nestled atop a hill is a wonderful choice for those looking to relax and recharge on their retreat in Phuket.
Phuket’s Top Attractions
Apart from the beach bars, clubs there’s plenty of wonderful cultural attractions in Phuket. The best things to do while you’re in town include paying a visit to the Big Buddha statue and the Wat Chalong temple. If you have more time, steal away to the lush tropical greenery of Khao Sok National Park to enjoy your time in the verdant wilderness.
Getting to and from Phuket
Since Phuket now has its international airport, globe trotters can directly fly right into the island from all corners of the world. Phuket is also well connected by a network of roads and highways to mainland Thailand so you can also reach it by road!
