Food and Drink

One thing Phuket Town has in abundance is good restaurants, many of which are listed in Thailand's food guides. For cheap tasty meals try the night market on Phuket Road.

The beach resorts have a variety of places to eat serving both Thai and Western food. All the larger hotels have good restaurants plus the usual "international buffet".

Beaches

Directly west of Phuket Town is the lively Patong Beach which has a similar feel to Pattaya. Here you will find plenty of things to keep you occupied. A little further south is the gently curving Karon Beach, a popular place for sunbathing.

Kata Beach is at the south-west end of the island just around the headland from Karon. This is a good place for swimming and snorkeling. At the south end of Phuket is Rawai Beach. Although the beach itself is not as good as others on the island, Rawai is probably the best place to go for scuba diving. There are several boats available to take divers to the offshore islands.

Nai Harn Beach is located between Kata and Rawai and houses one of the most lavish resorts on Phuket. During the monsoon season from May to October swimming in this area can, at times, be dangerous.

North of Patong is the beautiful Kamala Beach, and Surin Beach which is popular with locals. The more secluded Nai Yang Beach is just west of the airport. Next Page »
