Tour & Travel Packages to Phuket

There are also lots of other thing which may attract visitors, for example, its rice and plantations, and the city itself with plethora of shops, flea markets and handicraft stores. In many of the streets there still remained Sino-Portuguese shop houses, a reminder of the island's heritage.

Patong is a noisy nightlife centre of the island with great beaches and facilities across the island from Phuket Town. The most calm and quiet beaches are Kata, Karon and Surin.

The best beaches are along the west side with Nai harn known as the best family beach. It is rather large, thus having plenty of rooms, restaurants and bars. Everything is on the open air with all the pleasures of nature beauties around.

The majority of tourists prefer the beached on the western side of the island of Phuket but the capital of the province is deserves attention.

You can get to City (a small town with interesting architecture in Portuguese Colonial style) from every place of the island either by bus or tuk tuk. If you like to make photos you will have a good chance to do it in Phuket as it is ideal for street photography.

If you happen to be in Phuket do not fail to visit the Thavorn Hotel and have a drink in the cafeteria which is also of some historic importance.

The famous Vegetarian Festival is held in Phuket City every October. It lasts for 9 days and involves lots of vegetarian food and culminates in a procession from Phuket Town's shrines.

If you want to make a cheap day trip, Phuket is the place to choose as it is always possible to lower the price if you talk to the tuk tuk drivers and you will have a chance just to walk around the city and admire the views.
