Phuket is the most famous travel destination in Thailand. It is located around 900 kilometers from the capital Bangkok and it is one of the favorite holiday destinations in Asia. With its 539 square kilometers, Phuket is also the biggest island in Thailand (there are more than 1.000 islands in Thailand!). Phuket hides dozens of amazing sandy beaches in large and small bays, rich tropical vegetation and landscapes. So, it is no surprise why Phuket is often referred to as the most beautiful place in Asia. The impression is even better when people take a look at the crystal clear waters and the incredible coral reefs in the Andaman Sea.  This island has attracted more than 5 million tourists last year. All of them have enjoyed the beauties that this island offers – tours to nearby islands, hikes in the jungle, water sports, visiting old Buddhist temples, natural attractions like waterfalls and wildlife, visiting Muay Thai camps and much more.

Those looking for a resort or a hotel offering quality services should take a look at the small Nakalay Bay and Nai Harn beach. They can also be found in Patong Beach as well as on the beaches located on the north like Nai Yang and Bang Tao beach. These places are perfect for relaxation and reenergizing. On the long Karon beach, which is especially peaceful during the summer period, you will find numerous interesting bars as well as few good restaurants and smaller stores. Kata beach is very attractive for younger generations and this is also a place where you can find many small restaurants, bars and most of the scuba diving schools in Phuket. Kata Noi beach is one of the most beautiful locations on Phuket Island. Those who enjoy crowds and overall vibrant atmosphere should definitely go to Patong Beach. This is the place where you can easily find a large number of good restaurants, shops, bars and nighclubs. During the monsoon period (tarting from May until October) most of the scuba diving schools and water sport centers are closed because of the weather. Although any period of the year is good for visiting this amazing place, the best time to visit is from November to April.

Thailand is a land of islands and it has a lot to offer to the tourists. It has been a wonderful travel destination for holidays. However it has been in the news for all the wrong reasons like restricting the vacationers to return to their home country or arresting them for trivial charges or for a decrease in popularity for houses. But all these things are just a rumour and Phuket passes all such allegations and emerges to be one of the best travel destinations in the world. The weather of Phuket is just perfect for the tourists. It has two weathers; one being the best for travel and the other being the summer season which is self descriptive.

Phuket is famous for its long white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters. It has a great environment and the winds are not so disturbing for the tourists to enjoy the beaches and the waters in all the possible ways. It is famous for the water and other sports and activities that can be done on the beaches. Scuba diving, para sailing, jet skiing, bungee jumping, swimming and many more such activities keep the tourists busy throughout the day. The marine life of Phuket helps the tourists see a completely different side of seas. The tourists can even feed the fishes with their own hands which gives a great experience. Snorkelling is a popular activity of Phuket.

The night life of this city is world famous and one will be busy even in the night time with the happening night parties and multi cuisine restaurants to tingle the taste buds. Being a tropical destination, the sea food is very famous here. Keeping in mind the coastal line, many new varieties of sea food are available that have not been tested by the tourists. The main income of Phuket is because of the tourists and the local people are very humble at all times.
