Thailand's largest island and Andaman gateway — Patong's beach nightlife, Phi Phi's blue seas and Phuket Old Town's Sino-Portuguese shophouses make an island-hopping paradise.

📍 Destination Overview

Phuket is Thailand's largest island and a resort gateway on the Andaman Sea. Patong Beach plays in the water by day and glows with bar neon by night, while Kata and Karon beaches are relatively quiet. Island-hopping from here reaches Maya Bay on Phi Phi, the limestone peaks of Phang Nga Bay and the sunset at Promthep Cape. Phuket Old Town's Sino-Portuguese shophouses and Nanyang cuisine have a charm of their own. Beaches, islands and the Big Buddha on the hill form the classic Andaman combination.
