📍 Destination Overview
Phuket, Thailand's largest island in the Andaman Sea, is the country's top holiday destination. Patong Beach is liveliest; Kata and Karon are calmer for families. Phang Nga Bay's karst stacks from the James Bond film are explored by kayak. Old Phuket Town keeps Sino-Portuguese architecture, a weekend market and local food, while a 45-metre Big Buddha overlooks all.
