Phuket: what to expect
Phuket is Thailand's largest island and its best-known beach destination. Patong is lively and busy; Kata and Karon are calmer; and day trips lead to Phi Phi, Phang Nga Bay and the Similan Islands in season.
It suits travellers who want a mix of beaches, nightlife and island hopping, with plenty of hotel choices.
Who should visit Phuket
- Couples and friends who want beaches and nightlife
- Families who choose a calmer beach
- Travellers combining Phuket with Krabi or Bangkok
