We recommend planning just a few day trips, then once in Phuket, and you can adjust your plan according to your mood (or the weather). You can book those day trips once here; they are usually cheaper and can be booked directly from your hotel, in the street or one of the many travel agencies. We added information on each attraction.
Note that some tours may look more expensive than others, but those usually offer a better experience: less crowded, better service and overall: a better experience.
With so much to choose from, it may be challenging to fit everything into one holiday. So to make your travel planning a lot easier, we listed here a long list of must-do in Phuket sorted by popularity. Some are on the island, and some are around the island but easily accessible in one day.
Explore Phang Nga Bay
The incredible scenery of Phang Nga has always been at the top of our list of places to visit. There are many ways to explore it. You can take a lazy sunset cruise on a Chinese Junk or explore Phang Nga by canoe through caves and enclosed lagoons.
If you can afford it, a full day on a customised private cruise around Phang Nga is the most relaxing and enjoyable experience. Similar to the famous Halong Bay in Vietnam, these landscapes will leave unforgettable memories. Read more
Take A Trip To Phi Phi Islands
Phi Phi is a beautiful archipelago made of fantastic beaches and immense cliffs over two bays you can admire from a famous viewpoint. Phi Phi is also renowned among young crowds for those legendary beach parties lasting all night long, reminding a bit of the Full Moon Parties on Koh Phangan.
But this fame comes with a price, and Phi Phi may have become too popular. The crowds, greed and developments have severely affected the island, so don’t go imagining yourself walking alone on the deserted beach in the movie ‘The Beach’.
