Everyone dreams of a tropical holiday; bursting with sun, sand, and sea, at only a quarter of the price expected. Well look no further, because Phuket is calling for you. A cluster of glittering blue waters, pure white sand, and a bustling nightlife. Not yet convinced? I spent 48 wonderful hours in this bustling wonderland, and found the best things you can do during your time here, regardless whether it’s a week long escapade or a day long stopover.
Be a Beach Bum
Visit the Big Buddha
As one of Phuket’s most important landmarks, the Big Budda is defiantly a necessary. The huge, 45-metre-tall structure sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills, right between Chalong and Kata, and can be seen from as far away as Phuket Town. Hop on a tour, a bus, or hire a car, and take the signature big budda tourist photo to make your Instagram followers jealous!
Go Trekking
Get Rowdy at Bangla Road
Try the Local Food
There is more than Pad Thai on the menu here! With countless street shops and restaurants offering mouth-watering cuisines freshly cooked right in front of you! Slurp down some dumplings, taste the melting pot, or eat your weight in coconut.
