Holidaymakers coming here for the first time are sure to think of Phuket as an island of paradise. The sea is clear and sparkling, the beaches sandy and white, and the scenery tropical. The island is a place for romance with your other half, for lazy days with the family, for fun and adventures with friends.
Thai people love to eat, they are either eating, thinking about it or talking about it. So, it’s not surprising that everywhere you look in Phuket there is food. Thai food is the best there is in Asia, it’s fresh and tasty and the combination of simple ingredients, delicious aromas and spiciness is unique.
Some of the best food you’ll eat in Thailand will come from a simple small food stand on the street, watch for where the locals eat and follow suit. This is what we like to eat on a typical day in Phuket in-between organising our Phuket day tours.
Phuket has quite a variety of entertainment in the evenings from enjoying a sunset cruise around Phuket, being delighted by the ladyboys, to Muay Thai boxing fights. You can even learn something about the culture and history of Thailand and be amazed at the same time with acrobatics, fireworks and magic.
Phuket is an international beach destination and many of the activities on the island are water-based. We have put together some of the most fun and challenging.
