Phang Nga Bay Day Trip

The most spectacular day trip from Phuket - a limestone karst archipelago of 40+ islands and sea caves rising from emerald green water. James Bond Island (Ko Tapu), the floating Koh Panyee fishing village, and kayaking through sea caves make Phang Nga Bay the essential Phuket area excursion.

🏔️

Promthep Cape Phuket

The southernmost point of Phuket with 270-degree views of the Andaman Sea, the small islands to the south, and the rugged coastline - the most famous sunset viewpoint on the island. Arrive 30 minutes early to claim a rock perch and bring a Chang beer - the sunset here is genuinely extraordinary.

🏔️

Surin Beach and Millionaires Row Phuket

Phuket's most upscale beach - a 1km bay flanked by the island's most expensive villas and the Amanpuri resort, with clear blue water, excellent shade trees, and a sophisticated but relaxed atmosphere. The beach clubs along Surin serve excellent food and cocktails to Phuket's most affluent crowd.
