Great Experiences
Phuket itself has more than enough on offer to keep anyone busy for any length of stay. But that shouldn’t stop you from looking to explore further from the shore. Just a boat ride away you can soon be on the white sand beaches of the famous Phi phi, Maya bay and Koh Samui or even the popular full moon party destination of Koh Phangan. Boat tours, island hoping and exploring are popular options to include when visiting the island.
