Tailor-made Phuket Island Experiences

The Tropical Holiday Paradise

Ranking high on the list of popular holiday destinations in Thailand, Phuket Island is characterised by incredibly long sand beaches kissed by crystal-clear water. Add to that the incomparable hospitality and open-hearted locals and you get a tropical holiday paradise par excellence! Tourism on the island developed early in the 1980s. Today, Phuket has evolved into a multi-faceted destination that offers something for every taste and inclination: Skip across the waves on a jet-ski or take a peek at the underwater wonderland with a mask and snorkel. Back on land, there are just as many leisure time options: Take it to the limit with an adrenaline-charged bungee jump or go slow, comfortably mounted atop an elephant plodding along at an easy pace. Kids will be thrilled by the water adventure land or the Phuket Fantasea, a celebrated theme park famous for its spectacular shows. Or just stroll the many markets and shopping malls in and around Phuket City. At night, when the setting sun dips the scene into a golden glow, Surin Beach becomes a magical place. Sip a sundowner cocktail at one of the welcoming beach bars and put your feet up, savouring a moment in paradise. Patong Beach is the site for those with an appetite for nightlife: As day turns to night, activity picks up on Patong Beach and soon there is a ready crowd partying deep into the night. However, Phuket has a lot more to offer than “just” beaches, bars and parties. There are countless fascinating historic sites at hand: Phuket City’s old town is just perfect for a leisurely stroll that will allow you discover a number of small but charming Chinese temples. An item on almost every Phuket travelers’ itinerary is the striking 45 metres high Big Buddha at the heart of the island. From its base, you enjoy a breathtaking view out over the island and the ocean beyond. The options are next to endless. Visit one of the many museums, the Phuket Aquarium or explore the lush interior. The densely forested ridges and rolling hills boast pristine tropical vegetation and hidden waterfalls – perfect for hiking and mountain biking! The Sirinat National Park is your first choice for observing countless rare bird species. And on a different day, change nimble birds for sleek fish and take a look at the coral reefs on a snorkelling tour. Have we got you interested in Phuket Island and Thailand?
