Thailand is a magical country with a rich culture, glorious homemade street
food, friendly people, and great national pride. A crown in the royal lineup of
Southeast Asia. Phuket is the tourist jewel in that crown. Millions of people
from all over the world come to visit this beautiful land.
If you like a tropical paradise while on holiday, you’re in luck! With its
beautiful beaches, water sports, hiking, adventure activities, world-class
restaurants, cafes, and bars there is no shortage of things for everyone’s
interest. Here are some reasons why Phuket is at the top of the list.
Private luxury villas
One of the many reasons to visit Phuket is the world-class luxury hotels and
villas. A villa in Phuket is an experience all its own. The level of service and
the standards of luxury are on par with places like Monaco or Maldives.
Imagine your own private Villa with stunning views of the ocean out of your
window. Step onto the terrace and take a morning dip in your private pool.
Then have breakfast prepared by a private chef with all your friends on the
beautiful outdoor terrace. It’s like something from a dream.
Beaches for everyone
Known for its many pristine beaches with white sand and clear blue
waters, Phuket has so much to experience. Just one visit is not enough
to really soak in the culture and see all the sights. Long stretches of
beach and clean water welcome return visitors every year. Patong
Beach is quite lively, with plenty of beach bars and restaurants to visit
and enjoy an energetic night out. If a secluded area sounds like your
speed then any beach in the south is more your style.
Amazing local food
One of the most recognizable cuisines, Thai food is known for its
intense flavor and multiple elements. Phuket is the ideal location
for authentic homemade local street food. Seafood and spice are
this region’s specialties. A spicy noodle dish or a coconut-flavored
curry can help beat the heat and nourish the soul. One can never be
hungry here.
Dance the night away
If a wild night out is what you’re after, then Phuket has that too. Just
follow the music down Bangla Road. Many bars, nightclubs, and
restaurants are there to greet you with upbeat and welcoming music.
The prices are unbeatable compared to Western standards. If you’re
looking for a more high-class establishment, then head further down
the coast where the elevated cocktail lounges reside. There is a drink
for every taste here in Phuket.
A rich culture to be experienced
Phuket is the gilded frame to showcase Thailand's rich culture. The big
Buddha or Wat (temple) Chalong are must-see cultural attractions one
can only find in Phuket.
There are also great museums to learn more about the culture and the
language. Phuket Mining Museum and Thalang National Museum are
a couple of recommended spots to expand your mind.
