Introduction

Welcome to Phuket often referred to as Asia’s Andaman Pearl, Thailand’s largest island and one of the most-famous beach destinations in the world. Phuket’s white sandy beachfronts (including Patong Beach, Kata Beach, Karon Beach, Kamala Beach, Nai Thon Beach) and its easy access to Thailand’s other famous islands including Koh Phi Phi, Phang Nga Bay, Koh Lanta, James Bond Island, Koh Yao Yai, Koh Yao Noi and Similan Islands draws-in inquisitive travellers from all over the globe. From luxurious accommodation offerings, to internationally acclaimed restaurants & bars, a formidable range of experiential activities (with a little something for everyone), and Phuket’s great party scene – makes this a must-visit beach destination. With so much to see and do, it may difficult to choose where to stay, where to eat and where to play ;->… However worry not, our travel boffins at Go Places Thailand™ have put together a spectacular-not-to-missed selection of Go Places Recommended Partners™. Let your inhibitions go and enjoy a week (or two) in Phuket!

How to Get Around

The most convenient way to get to Phuket is by flight (simply click here). Rather than hailing a taxi from HKT – Phuket International Airport most of our Go Places Recommended Hotels™ offer airport transfers, and we do recommend you book these ahead (find details provided in each hotel listing). Alternatively you may want to pre-book or book a taxi (with our partners grab.com), hire a private car (with our Phuket car rental partners sixt.com), opt for a more luxurious VIP Limousine Service (with plt.limo) or skip from area to area on a fun island Tuk Tuk or a Songthaew (baht bus). These are the most ideal ways to get to and around Phuket.
