Phuket - Holiday Packages and tours
Known for its beautiful beaches and natural wonders, Phuket is undoubtedly a popular travel destination for tourists all over the world. It is a tropical paradise that is loved by locals, foreigners, and expats.
Part of its charm is the laid-back lifestyle that anyone can enjoy in quaint fishing villages or some quiet corner in the island. Be warned that many spent a vacation in Phuket and never came back. They simply decided to extend their holiday for good.

Places to visit in Phuket
Being the biggest island in Thailand and located in the Andaman Sea, Phuket has several places of interest.
- Phuket City is the capital of the island province where you travel to experience the true local culture. It has markets that are interspersed with interesting buildings, featuring different elements taken from other parts of the world, such as China and Portugal.
- Patong Beach is where most of the sightseeing & activities happen. It is one vacation destination where seeing people and whale sharks frolicking together is perfectly normal.
- Kata Beach is one of those places that people travel to for a specific reason. It is dubbed as the perfect venue to go snorkeling as it is less crowded and has spectacular coral reefs.
- Karon Beach is probably the longest and where the good eats can be found. It has plenty of restaurants that range from budget to expensive. On this side of town, however, you are not only paying for the food, but also for the nice view and sea breeze.
Make sure to explore as much of it as you can during your vacation. Other places to visit are Chalong Bay, James Bond Island, and other small islands in the southeastern part.
