Phuket

Abundant with serene landscapes and amazing scenery, Phuket is considered by many to be 'Asia's most popular beach destination'. Ranging from the pristine white sands fringed by azure ocean that have earned it this moniker to the wildlife-rich rainforests of its interiors and the neon-lit main drag of Patong City, the island defies being pigeonholed into any one category. Phuket City's Old Town is a charming blend of old and new, and the cafe and store-lined main street, Thalang Road, is a vibrant display of Sino-Portuguese architecture. With its night markets, vibrant nightlife scene, tranquil forests, and stunning limestone karst scenery, Phuket draws an eclectic crowd from nature lovers to self-proclaimed party animals.
