Phuket: An Introduction
Lying just under a mile off the south-western coast, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and boasts some of the countries finest beaches. Phuket is also an island of forested hills, coconut and rubber plantations, lush rice fields and wildlife parks. The island has ‘something for everyone’ whether it be R&R, world class restaurants and entertainment or water sports and adventure that you’re searching for (or all of the above!).
You can also visit some of the 32 smaller islands that lay off Phuket’s coast - just a short boat trip will take you to the tropical Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le islands where you can enjoy a days snorkelling around the area’s coral reefs. Stay longer and you can explore limestone caverns and hike through wooded trails.
