Thailand's largest island offers perfect beaches, snorkelling waters, and pampering resorts.
Phuket is Thailand's largest island and one of Southeast Asia's most popular holiday destinations: white sand, warm turquoise waters, low prices, and excellent service. Patong is busy with nightlife, Kata and Karon are more relaxed, and Phang Nga Bay's James Bond Island is one of Asia's most recognisable natural landscapes.
