Phuket is the largest island in Thailand. It is very hilly and its highest point is the Mai Tha Sip Song, at 529 metres.
The west coast boasts some beautiful sandy beaches. Patong is the most popular one, although Karon and Kata, among others, also attract a great many visitors. These white sand beaches and the clear waters of the sea make this the perfect place for all kinds of water sports such as sea kayaking, surfing, snorkelling, sailing, jet skiing, parasailing, fishing and, of course, diving to see the coral reefs and the amazing seabed, full of life.
Don't miss the sunset from the southernmost point of the island, Laem Promthep; it is truly spectacular.
Patong is the place to go if you want to go shopping or you fancy some nightlife, since here there is a wide array of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, especially around Bangla Road. The range of hotels and bungalows is also very good.
Some of Phuket's most visited monuments include the Wat Chalong temple and the Big Buddha. Have a stroll through the old part and take in Phuket's colonial architecture or visit one of the museums or exhibition centres.
Your holiday in Phuket will be unforgettable.
