The beaches here are known for their white shores and the serene atmosphere. Once at the shores, the cool ocean breezes will soothe your skin while the gentle waters wash away your worries. Make sure you visit the Laem Ka Beach and Nai Thon beach to experience the places that have brought Phuket tourism to life.
Spice it up:
For those who love spicy food, Phuket is heaven. The traditional spicy Thai food with a range of spicy dishes will leave you longing for more. Make sure to ask the locals and try out some local fare like Tom Yum Goong.
Sporty, the Phuket way:

This will be your golden chance to witness the action packed sport of ‘Muai Thai’. While you may have caught a glimpse of it on TV, watching it in person is a blissful experience. What makes this sport fascinating is the rituals they perform before the fight begins.
Trek with an elephant:

We bet you’ve never tried this before! You can ride on an elephant through the forests of Phuket and go on a half day eco trail as your guide takes you through the paths less traveled. Needless to say, this will be an experience you won’t soon forget.
Snorkel all the way:

The waters surrounding Phuket are impeccable and wonderful for snorkeling, and are perfect for the first timers too. Don’t miss the boat trip to the coral islands or Similan islands to get an enchanting experience. There are many Phuket packages that include such water sports in their itinerary, so make sure you pick the right one.
As cool as a cabaret:
A must-experience for everyone above 18, Phuket’s Simon Cabaret attracts more than a thousand visitors every day. The glamour and uniqueness of the performance make it highly entertaining and worth a watch. But of course, none can do cabaret like the Thai!
Temple bells calling:
