“Pearl of the Andaman, southern paradise, golden beaches, land of the duo of heroines and highly revered Laung Pho Chaem.” - Slogan of Phuket
Phuket, pronounced “poo-get”, is Thailand’s largest island. It’s connected to the south of Phang Nga Province by road bridges. Phuket is one of the most popular travel destination in Thailand where most beaches are. The delightful Andaman Sea water on the Indian Ocean is balmy and is a perfect beach.
There are a number of gorgeous beaches, although you can’t go topless as nudity is viewed as offensive to Thais. You have a choice of beaches, and there are a lot of options. Bang Tao is a gorgeous, quiet beach, untouched and private. The Laem Singh Beach is small but the views are stunning enough, you won’t care about how small it is. You can also go to Patong Beach, the largest resort and the center of nightlife in Phuket.
There are also a few islands you can visit, Ko Yao with four resorts, and Kho Hae, or Coral Island.
It’s absolutely gorgeous in Phuket. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
