Phuket, a tourist destination is the largest island in Thailand running 34 miles north to south and 16 miles east to west. It is a treasure for holiday lovers. Every year, Phuket is enthralled with honeymooners, families or just youngsters to enjoy sun, sand and water along with Thai food.
We went to Phuket in Christmas holidays to escape the cold weather. We fell in love with the island as soon as we reached it. The best thing about Phuket is that there is always something to help you relax and unwind. We started with the religious sites of Phuket visiting the famous Wat Chalong temple. The temple is adorned with numerous pagodas and countless reflections from hundreds of small glass pieces. The temple has a rich history making it the most famous temple on the island. Phuket being a hilly island offers splendid views of the ocean along with sunrise and sunset. Some of the popular viewpoints are Promthep Cape, Kata Viewpoint and Khao Khat. There are also some amazing waterfalls in Phuket to relax or enjoy a dip.
For entertainment, Phuket is known for its shows. Fantasea is one of the most spectacular one, winning awards almost every year for the best
tourist attraction in Thailand. The show is a blend of traditional Thai entertainment with modern effects. Other popular shows are Simon Cabaret and the Phuket Stunt Show. Other exciting places to see are the Bangla Road with its ladyboys and striking girls and the old Phuket town comprising of funky shops with a mixture of colonial and Chinese architecture.
Phuket beach offers great a playground for water sports. I enjoyed para sailing, snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing. There are many other water sports also like kayaking, yachting, and surfing and banana boats.
Phuket offers great restaurants serving all cuisines like Indian, Thai, Chinese, American, French, and Spanish etc. You must try the local seafood and island’s famous drink Phuket Beer. We hired beach bungalows in Phuket for our stay with all modern facilities. Holiday in Phuket for a relaxing break to rejuvenate.
