Phuket has become Thailand’s ultimate beach resort destination, offering outstanding holidays in a range of world-class hotels, resorts and villas. Nearby Koh Samui has been largely spoilt by a lack of planning and supporting infrastructure, such as sufficient roads to accommodate the volume of traffic while Pattaya has suffered from its reputation as the sex capital of Thailand. Krabi is growing in popularity but is still largely undeveloped. For a beach holiday, Phuket offers outstanding quality and value, with its miles of beaches and ocean frontage.

Phuket offers the finest in golf, nightlife, boating, and a myriad of water-related pursuits.

Among Phuket’s world-class golf courses are the Laguna Phuket Golf Club, Mission Hills Golf Resort & Country Club, Blue Canyon Country Club and Phuket Country Club. Phuket’s beaches and environs offer some of the best diving and snorkelling in Southeast Asia, if not the world.

Phuket supports great dining, with many outstanding restaurants serving local and international cuisine often prepared by some of the world’s best chefs. When it comes to nightlife, Phuket cannot be beat. The island, already on the international map has an entertainment hotspot, is a magnet for some of the best DJ and nightclub talent from around the globe, drawn by the island’s cachet. Whether you seek a relaxing place on a quiet beach to enjoy sundowners or if you want to really party, party, party! Phuket has it all. Phuket also offers a wide variety of shopping experiences, from local night markets to upscale shopping malls located centrally on the island.

Bangkok Phuket Hospital offers the finest in medical services for those seeking to take advantage of the region’s growing medical tourism industry. Above all, Phuket offers an unmatchable holiday at a fraction of its European competitors cost.

Phuket is Thailand's largest island. The west coast has beautiful bays with white sandy beaches stretching down the coast. The east coast, with fewer beaches, offers stunning views and easy access to Phang Nga Bay, where hundreds of islands offer some of Asia’s best beaches. Southern Phuket offers several beaches, but is better known for its headlands and bluffs that offer beautiful sea views.

The island of Phuket protects Phang Nga bay, which dwells between the island and the Thai mainland to the east. Phang Nga bay is famous for its remarkable limestone karst formations that can only be found in a few places around the world. Phang Nga bay and Phi Phi Islands are popular tourist destinations for day trips and diving for those based on Phuket. To the east of Phuket is Krabi, on the eastern shore of the bay, on the mainland of Thailand.

Phuket is a hilly island, with a low range running down the centre and headlands separating each of the bays on its west side. Waterfalls, lush vegetation, sea views and of course the limestone karsts all add to the interesting topography of Phuket, and make it a wonderful island to explore.
