Phuket Trips & Tours

A diverse beach haven with something for honeymooners, flashpackers, families and über jetsetters.
It’s probably fair to say that Thailand’s largest island has received some bad press since the years that it first began to seduce Western visitors. But really, it’s Phuket Town that has attracted the less-than-dreamy reputation – and the parts of the island that we’re talking about are far removed from any nightclubs or Tiger beer t-shirts. When we think of Phuket, it’s of a haze of sun-kissed, wave-lapped sands, those of which on the western-side of the island have some of the best sunsets we’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying a sundowner alongside; it’s of the uber-luxe resorts that would make James Bond blush; and of the rainforest-clad national parks, coconut farms and gorgeous rice fields that cover much of the interior. It’s this variety that produces a seriously good list of activities too. From kayaking, snorkelling and body boarding to world-class PADI dive schools, Thai boxing lessons, cookery classes, golf clubs, museums, temples and mouth-watering eating opportunities, you won’t be short of something to do for a second…
Things to do

What to do in Phuket

Phuket may not have that secluded, Robinson Crusoe feel but it has everything you need for a seaside holiday. Meander along the coast on a kayak or paddleboard, learn to windsurf, or dip into the temperate waters with a spot of snorkelling or diving. Then again, you could hike into the forest or cycle among the rice fields and coconut farms, glide through the mangroves or spend time with the gentle pachyderms at a nearby elephant sanctuary. The main town has lip-smacking dishes to sample and you could even learn to make a few yourself.
