Whether you are considering taking a long weekend or a trip that lasts a little longer, you should consider Phuket for your next travel destination. Travezl Phuket Tours will cover all the hotspots that you could possibly want to see, but here is a list of some of the things you simply cannot miss while you’re there.
Phuket is a stunning island of Thailand and has a fantastic nightlife. Plus, it has some fantastic all inclusive resorts, so you can party your nights away and then enjoy a long sleep on the beach when you’re too tired to go on!
1.The temples
As the main religion in Phuket is buddhism, there are a number of beautiful temples worth visiting including The Big Buddha which is a 45 metre tall statue that overlooks much of the island. These temples are often small but always welcoming, and many of them have free screenings of movies, usually of the kung fu persuasion!
2. The Beaches
Phuket boasts 36 beaches, and most of them are as stunning as you’d expect. What more do you need on a vacation than endless amounts of sand, sun and surf?
If you manage to get bored of all that, the beachside resorts have you covered with lavish restaurants, bars and full spa facilities! So, if you just want to spend your days being pampered, massaged and beautified, that is a perfectly valid option!
The beaches of Phuket also provide breathtaking snorkeling, the crystal blue and green waters just begging to be explored. Set aside a whole afternoon and just get lost in a different kind of paradise, that is still just a hop skip and a jump away from your resort.
3. The Nightlife
Phuket is well equipped for those who live to party, and there are numerous bars and nightclubs around every corner! You can choose to party at any number of places, there are clubs, plenty of bars, and every kind of theatrics you can think of. There are shows of actors, performers, elephants with acrobats and a number of ladyboy shows. If you happen to be in Phuket for any of the three annual festivals, the place can become even more exciting than it already was.
4. The Rainforest and Limestone Cliffs
If you need to get out of direct sunlight for a while, you should take some time to explore the mangroves. It’s often hard to believe you are still in the same place once you get away from the noise of the beaches and crowds. It becomes quiet, the air gets just a little thicker and instead of waves you hear the trees and the birds talking to each other. Phuket does so many things well, but sometimes you just can’t beat what nature has already been doing for thousands of years.
5. Don’t Miss These Destinations!
Fantasea Park is a shopping and adventure park hotspot with fair games all year round. The park boasts shows and elephant rides, just two of the many things that make it a really exciting and colourful place to be. If you like goofy museums and tourist attractions, you should definitely hit up the Trick Eye Museum and the Inverted House. These destinations are great fun for the whole family and provide a host of great photo opportunities! If you don’t mind getting a little roughed up, Phuket also has white water rafting (which is self explanatory) and zorbing (which is not)! Zorbing is a great activity where one or two people can get inside a giant inflated plastic ball with a little water in it and run down a giant grassy hill a few times!
Phuket has the activities and destinations for any kind of traveler and is well worth taking some time to explore!
