About Phuket
Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is a lush destination famed for its turquoise waters, dramatic limestone cliffs, and a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and exploration. Whether you're lounging at a world-class resort, hopping across stunning nearby islands, exploring ancient temples, or enjoying rejuvenating wellness therapies, Phuket offers something for every kind of traveller. From the serene beaches of Amanpuri and Banyan Tree to the vibrant lanes of Phuket Old Town and the magic of the Phi Phi Islands, your days in Phuket will be soaked in beauty, flavour, and unforgettable moments.
My Experience
We began our Phuket journey with an indulgent stay at Amanpuri, immersing ourselves in beachfront tranquillity and spa luxuries. The next day whisked us away on a private boat tour to Coral and Racha Islands, where we snorkelled in crystal-clear waters and basked on secluded beaches. Cultural immersion followed with visits to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, topped off with a heritage dinner at Blue Elephant. Our fourth day was all about wellness – yoga, spa rituals, and nourishing food at the resort. Adventure awaited us on day five at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, followed by a peaceful trek through Khao Phra Thaeo National Park. We ended with boutique shopping and a laid-back lunch before our departure – our hearts full and cameras overloaded.
