Songkran Water Festival is a major event in Thailand, and Phuket one of the best places to enjoy it. It’s exciting, fun, crazy and must be experienced if you are in the country. You are guaranteed to get wet, laugh until your jaws ache and join in something that is totally Thai.
There are all kinds of reasons why you should visit Phuket, so we have highlighted 5 of the best to make it easy for you.
Many years ago it would be a surprise to see people hiking and walking around Phuket. Local Thai people would stop and ask if you needed a lift, then you would have to explain that you were walking for exercise. They would drive off shaking their heads at ‘foreign ways’.
When you hear the name, Thailand, what images spring to mind? For us it is clear skies and blue seas, deserted islands, limestone karsts, great food, Buddhist temples, massages and smiling people. But most of all it is sailing in the sunshine through the calm warm waters of The Andaman Sea.
For couples that want to spend their honeymoon on the beach but also have a sense of adventure, then why not try island hopping in Thailand? Phuket is a great place to base yourself, and there are some stunning nearby islands perfect for 1 or 2 day trips.
