Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is situated off the west coast of southern Thailand in the Andaman Sea. This tropical island has a chain of forested mountains and valleys running north–south down the west coast, with Mai Tao Sip Song the tallest point at 529 metres. Phuket is renowned for its long, broad, sandy beaches, limestone cliffs and outcrops, mangrove estuaries, and pretty lagoons. The most popular beach is Patong Beach and here you’ll find a wide range of Phuket villa accommodation and shopping options, plus a vibrant nightlife. The more family oriented Kata Beach is perfect for snorkelling and other watersports, including surfing, and here there are several beachside food stalls.

Old Phuket Town is best explored on foot or by tuk-tuk – be sure to visit the markets to get a sample of Thai food treats. The Thalang National Museum has a good display of local art and culture, and at Wat Chalong, the largest Buddhist temple on Phuket, there is a chedi containing a piece of the Lord Buddha's bones.
