Thailand Attraction: Phuket |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Phuket, one of the country’s top travel destinations, is located in Southern Thailand. It is the largest island in Thailand and the best time to travel is from December to April.
Phuket is surrounded by many beautiful tropical beaches such as Patong, Karon, Kata and Rawai beaches. At the very south, the Promthep Cape Viewpoint is said to be the best spot for enjoying the most beautiful sunsets in Thailand. More than just the beaches, there is still plenty to explore on the island, including the museums, aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.
Once regarded as an important trade route between China and India, Phuket is also a place where different cultures, traditions, and religions meet. Particularly in Phuket’s Old Town, there are fusions of different cuisines and architectures that you would not want to miss. |
