Phuket

Everything you need to know about Phuket

Located in the Andaman Sea, Phuket is the land of relaxed beaches and karst islands. It is Thailand’s biggest island and is also one of the finest islands on the planet. Phuket has a diverse cultural heritage, pearly white beaches, underwater wonders and mouthwatering delicious food. The island has more than 30 beaches and island hopping is one of the top things to do here. Patong Beach, Karon, Kata and Kamala are some of the most popular beaches on the island. However, for couples in search of quiet moments together, the north of the island is unexplored, and ideal for you!

Hidden Places you should explore in Phuket

Airplane Graveyard

Airplane Graveyard is something that is unique and maybe a bit weird as you see multiple wrecked airplanes in the middle of Bangkok. Not many people visit this place but it is an experience unlike any. The most interesting thing about this place is that a lot of these planes are inhabited by the poor locals. You can visit this site by paying $5-6 and even visit the locals’ airplane houses for an additional $5. The best way to reach here is by taking a ferry from the MRT station Phetchaburi.

Rod Fai Train market

This unique market only opens during the weekends from Thursday to Sunday, starting at 5pm and running through the midnight. If you are looking for authentic Thai food then this is the place to be, without a doubt. Moreover, you can also enjoy a beer or two at the unique bars made out of shipping containers, placed on top of each other.

Lumphini Park

Lumphini Park is one place that is out there in the open but still does not attract too many tourists. The park around a lake is an ideal place to go running or walking, especially during the morning hours. Post running the 2.5km long fitness trail, you can sit by the quaint lake and maybe even spend some time doing Yoga. For tourists staying in Pathun Wan District, you can literally run to the park. For others, you can reach the park by using MRT.

Best time to travel

The best time to visit Thailand is between the months of December and March. The same goes for Phuket. It is warm all year round and is cooler in the months of December to March, which is why they fall under the peak tourist season in Phuket. However, if you want to be alone and enjoy a quieter ambience, you should visit in early November, after the heavy rainfall has passed. If you want to attend a certain festival, you can also plan your trip around that as well.
