Phuket’s Beach Experience February 24th, 2009
The fabled island of Phuket is a Thai paradise. With its incredible beaches, wonderful food, and famed nightlife, Phuket is an ideal escape from the stress and strain of daily life. These are the main reasons that “Junk Ceylon” has grown into one of Asia’s top tourist destinations. The white sand beaches and sparkling ocean are just impossible to resist.
Since the ocean is the prime attraction of the island, it’s very easy to find a five star hotel on Phuket that is on the beach. Visitors can also rent guest villas and cottages or find comfortable hotels in the island’s lush interior.
The beaches of Phuket take full advantage of the Andaman Sea. Many visitors simply want to relax under a shady palm tree or get a nice tan. However, the beaches also offer recreational activities such as swimming, snorkellling, windsurfing, and sailing. Fishing and scuba diving are also popular with tourists.
While some of the beaches are secluded, quiet havens, many are bustling with activity as well as people. A number of beachfronts include shopping areas and restaurants. In addition, the beaches are home to some of the hottest nightclubs. During the height of tourist season it’s not uncommon for raves and parties to be held on the beaches.
Of course, there is more to Phuket than the beach. Visitors willing to explore will find the island home to national parks, virgin forests, spectatular vegetation, beautiful waterfalls, and some exotic temples and mosques.
