Phuket

The largest of Thailand's islands, Phuket is just an hours flight from Bangkok. A popular excursion is to cruise to Phang Nga Bay to see the giant limestone rock formations that rise out of the sea.

Nestled in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of the country and famous for shimmering turquoise seas, uninhabited islands, sheer limestone outcrops and private coves covered with fine granules of white sand that lead to world class hotels and tropical spas, Phuket is the ultimate beach destination. The island is perfect for pure relaxation, luxurious spa therapy or water activities such as swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing. Phuket is also a convenient starting point for island hopping to the many nearby islands.
