Walk the Golden Sands of Kata Beach
Phuket has an exceptional climate with warm, sunny days year-round. It has some beautiful beaches where you can relax. Fringed with casuarinas and palms, Kata Beach is one lovely, curving bay hugged by lush hillsides at either end. Although it's still touristy, it's more peaceful than the other popular touristy beaches and has few hawkers. A tiny islet sits just offshore, and the beach itself is broad, with soft, white sand and decent snorkeling spots at either e end.
If you're hungry, you can grab a papaya shake or a snack at one of the beachfront stalls. Also the larger restaurants are within walking distance. At the southern end of the beach sits The Boathouse Phuket, a luxury boutique hotel that is one of the only resorts fronting the sand. If you want an even quieter slice of shoreline, head south to adjacent Kata Noi Beach.
Discover Phuket's past at Old Phuket Town
Phuket is mainly popular for its beaches and there are a quite few beaches you need to visit. However , it you're looking for something different you can go check out Phuket Town. Phuket Town lies on the southeastern coast of the island on a picturesque bay. This island city bustles with activity thanks to its many hotels, restaurants, massage parlors, and other tourist attractions that have sprung up in the decades since Patong Beach was opened to development in 1980. The architecture reflects the influence of Chinese immigrants and a Portuguese aesthetic and provides an interesting contrast to the more traditional Thai styles seen elsewhere. Make sure you stroll through the streets of Old Phuket Town, with its well-preserved shophouses, Sino-Portuguese mansions, temples, and shrines.
Other things to do in town include visiting Phuket Trickeye Museum, an interactive 3D art gallery and paying your respects at the Jui Tui Shrine, a colorful Chinese temple.

Experience Island Boat Tours
If you're tempted to lounge on the beach your entire stay in Phuket, and no, we do not blame you for Phuket is essentially known for its beaches….But if you're willing to exert just a little effort during your island getaway, sign up for an island tour to discover the stunning seascape surrounding Phuket.
Particular mention must be made of Maphrao, Nakha Yai, and Nakha Noi ,on the east coast, with pearl culture at the latter, as well as Koh Kaeo, Racha Noi, and Racha Yai, off the southern tip, and finally little Koh Poo on the west coast off Hat Kata.
Organized tours are the best way to make sure you see all the highlights. The nine-hour, guided Phang Nga Bay Day Trip from Phuket includes a visit to the distinctive "James Bond Rocks," and the eight-hour Phuket to Phi Phi Islands Tour takes you to Koh Phi Phi and the famous Maya Bay beach from the Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Beach. An expert guide, transportation, food, and refreshments are all included.
The James Bond rocks are where the 1974 film , The Man with the Golden Gun was filmed. Its a great place to check out if you're in Phuket.
Visit Phuket Big Buddha
Alright, its customary to visit a Buddha statue when you visit Thailand. There are plenty of statues and one beauty lies in Phuket.
