The best way to see beautiful tropical coral reefs and colourful exotic marine life is to take a snorkelling trip and leave the shores of Phuket behind. There is nothing to compete with floating in the warm Andaman Sea above a coral garden full of vivid purples, blues, yellows and pinks.
Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and covers an impressive 543 square km’s that includes beautiful white sands, a stunning coastline and an energetic nightlife. It has plenty to offer travellers who are eager to experience the culture, food and less visited places.

Phuket Town is an area that can often get overlooked by tourists as they immerse themselves in the beaches, sea views, lively nightlife and wonderful food. However, it has a lot to offer and it would be a shame to come all this way and not spend at least a few hours there.
Choose to explore independently and it can be fun stumbling across a hidden Chinese shrine or crowded herb shop.

Khao Lak is in Phang Nga province and not too far to travel for a short trip or weekend break with friends and family. An Andaman cruise will get you there in no time, or it just takes a few hour’s drive from Phuket. There are a number of beaches that stretch along its coastline with forested hills as a beautiful backdrop, and plenty of hotels, restaurants and accommodation available.
