Phuket offers a rainbow spectrum of spectacular holiday sights from blue lagoons and pink sunsets to orange-robed monks. Three wheeled-Tuk Tuks, taxis, buses and long tailed boats transport visitors between these marvels. Phuket's south coast offers its most popular beaches. The north is more tranquil. Koh Phi Phi, Phang Nga Bay and Patong Beach are popular spots. Diving, snorkeling, wind surfing and sailing are just a few active options. Inland, forested hills, mountains and cliffs wait to be explored.

Travellers come to Thalang to do everything from play golf to cool off in water parks to relax in spas and take part in Thalang yoga. Many come to Thalang to snorkel in the jungle-surrounded aqua blue marines and caverns, and enjoy quiet dinners on the beach. Those looking for nighttime excitement can visit the Phucket Fanta Sea park, which contains live shows, restaurants, shopping and wonderful photo ops. During the daytime, the region is bustling with markets, outdoor cafes and tour buses, so there's always something to do no matter the time of day.  

Packed with all the amenities—and unsightly development—of a modern Thai harbour town, Ao Nang is a popular base camp for exploring Krabi’s karst islands. A long arc of sand is shared by long-tailed boats delivering day-trippers to resorts and rowdy beach bars.

Ko Lanta is a gorgeous island where you'll be certain to find an uncrowded beach. Located in the Krabi Province, one of the southern provinces of Thailand, Ko Lanta offers fantastic scuba diving with exotic marine life and grand coral reefs. The sunsets, too, are legendary—watch one over a glass of wine with someone you love.
