Surin Beach

As Thailand's largest island, Phuket is home to many beaches. There are 15 beaches and a dozen of islands that makes Phuket popular for sealovers.

Patong beach is the most famous among all the beach destinations in Phuket because not only is it the largest but there is a great nightlife. If you're opt for a good surf, Kata Yai beach is good for you.

Swimming and other water sports are not the only activities you can do while staying in Phuket. There's plenty that you can experience like the visiting Wat Chalong, which is Phuket's most important temple and visited by thousands each year. You can also watch Muay Thai live in Saphan Hin Stadium. There are regular matches where you can see the skills and dexterity of the super-fit fighters. If you're a faint heart then maybe it's better to see the Old Phuket Town which offers excellent restaurants and local sights.

Getting around the town is easy because there's public transportation everywhere. There are local-bus services between town and tourist beaches. Local buses leave for the beaches at the market on Ranong Road at half-hour intervals until 6 p.m. After that, you must hire a taxi. Bus fares range from 25-35 baht.


Getting in Phuket is very easy! There are available international flights everyday. You can choose from Air Asia and Bangkok airways to safely deliver you to the beach haven of Thailand.
