THINGS TO DO IN PHUKET
With options ranging from coastal to mainland activities, there is no shortage of things you can do in Phuket.
Bangla Road: Booming with live music and brimming with parties, Bangla Road stretches for 400 meters and is the heart of Phuket’s nightlife scene. There, you’ll find bars, restaurants, and a variety of entertainment options.
Old Phuket Town: Celebrated as a historical gem for its Sino-Portuguese architecture that reflects the island’s rich cultural mosaic shaped by Chinese, Indian, European, and Muslim settlers, Old Phuket Town showcases beautifully preserved shophouses now repurposed into charming accommodations, quaint cafes, gourmet dining spaces, and eclectic souvenir shops. If you’re looking to sample the multicultural charms of the town, there is a large market and walking street organized every Sunday between 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm along Thalang Road.
Phi Phi Islands: Situated in the Andaman Sea, 46 kilometers southeast of Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands are a chain of six islands in Southern Thailand offering a vibrant nightlife with dozens of restaurants and bars decorating the beaches and exotic marine life that calls for snorkeling and diving. To get to the Phi Phi Islands, you can choose to either travel directly by plane from Phuket or take a ferry or speedboat to enjoy the ocean ambiance.
James Bond Island: Renowned for being the place where the James Bond movie “The Man with the Gold Gun” was filmed, the island is also a popular destination for sailing and kayaking with beaches filled with stalls and stands selling souvenirs mostly made of shells and wood.
Elephant Sanctuaries & Trekking: Creating a compassionate environment for rescued elephants, these sanctuaries are dedicated to the ethical treatment of elephants, providing them with a safe haven where they can roam, bathe, and socialize freely in their habitat. But if you are feeling adventurous, you can opt to go elephant trekking where you’ll be guided around the habitat, all the while sitting on one of these large mammals.
The best time to be in Phuket is between November and February when the weather is just about perfect to hold a wedding. A little later between March to June is Thailand’s summer season, and it might be too hot for some. You can expect windy weather and thunderstorms from July to October which is the rainy season, so it is important to time it all just right if you are planning an outdoor ceremony.
