Want your Instagram to be filled with photos you’ll want to revisit again and again? We’ve picked 8 places where every detail is like a ready-made postcard. And you won’t need any filters here – the beauty is in every detail!
Rock Beach Swing
(Kata Noi)
Stunning ocean views and unique decorations that will spark your creativity.
If you dream of a photo on swings over the sea, this is the place to be. This spot is literally made for Instagram: swings, bamboo lounging areas, panoramic views of the Andaman Sea, and a complete feeling of seclusion.
Photo tip: wear something light and airy — a white dress looks perfect against the turquoise water.
The best time for photos is in the morning or during the “golden hour” (40–60 minutes before sunset), when the soft light adds a touch of magic.
Entrance is around 200 baht; there’s a café and several viewpoints. Open daily.
Rabbit Hole
(Pa Klok)
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 10:00 - 19:00
|
A petting zoo with cute animals and great photo spots — including a pond with artificial mist and a waterfall.
Overall, it’s a place for those who love animals: you can cuddle rabbits, feed guinea pigs, and take photos that are impossible not to smile at. It’s a great location for shots with a “tropical” vibe and fluffy little characters.
The best shots come out in natural light, so visit during the day. White clothing contrasts beautifully with the greenery and the fluffy animals.
Entry is free, and you can buy animal feed on site. It’s open daily, but check the hours before your visit — sometimes they close temporarily for animal care.
Beyond Skywalk Nangshi
(Phang Nga)
Photos on the glass bridge with views of the Phang Nga Islands are sure to rack up the likes!
One of the most impressive viewpoints around Phuket. It literally hangs over a scenic bay with limestone cliffs, mangrove forests, and emerald waters. The highlight is a glass bridge high above the ground, offering a movie-like panorama.
Photo tip: the best time is early morning or sunset, when the soft light makes the landscape even more dramatic. For a striking shot, stand on the glass floor of the bridge so both the horizon and the depth below are in frame.
Entrance fee is around 300 baht. There’s a cafe with a view and a relaxation area. You can get there by car or as part of a tour. If you’re driving on your own, expect about 1.5 hours from Phuket.
Phi Phi Islands
(Krabi)
The Phi Phi archipelago is a mix of turquoise water, lush greenery, dramatic cliffs, and an azure sea. The water in the bays is so clear and vibrant that it looks Photoshopped.
There’s endless space for photography here. At the Phi Phi Viewpoint, the best shots are taken at sunset or early in the morning. In Maya Bay or Pileh Lagoon, every angle looks perfect, and on Monkey Beach you can capture lively shots of its cute residents — the monkeys.

Ma Doo Bua
(Bang Tao)
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 08:30 - 20:30
A lake with the largest water lilies in the world — where else can you see something like this?
Already an Instagram legend in Phuket. A cafe with a pond covered by giant Victoria Amazonica leaves. These massive leaves create a fantastic backdrop for photos!
Photo tip: book a drone photoshoot service (available right on site) – the shots from above look out of this world. Wear something contrasting, like white or bright colors, to stand out against the greenery.
The cafe is located in the Thalang area. The easiest way to get there is by car or taxi. Entrance is free, but you’ll need to order something at the cafe. The photoshoot is paid separately (around 500–1000 baht).
Nui Beach
(Kata)
Simply put, this is the most Instagram-worthy beach in Phuket.
Turquoise water, white sand, and a tropical paradise vibe. Everything here looks picture-perfect: swings against the sea, bamboo huts, decorative installations, and viewpoints.
Photo tip: for the best shots, come in the morning before the crowds. A white or pastel dress against the azure water creates that true ‘bounty’ vibe. Don’t miss a photo on the swings or in the hammock area.
The road to the beach isn’t the easiest – it’s a dirt path with a descent, so it’s best for experienced scooter riders. Entrance fee is around 200 baht, which includes sunbeds and access to the photo spots. There’s also a café serving cocktails and fresh fruit.
Coconuts Café
(Chalong)
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 08:00 - 17:00
A perfect spot for retro-style shots.
A retro cafe in the Chalong area where the 70s–80s vibe meets Phuket’s tropical style. Wooden furniture, vintage details, and a collection of antique items create a unique photo backdrop. It’s the perfect spot for nostalgic shots that stand out from the usual beach photos.
Photo tip: the best pictures are taken by the vintage furniture, poster-covered walls, or near the decorative interior details. Grab a drink or dessert – little details make the frame feel more ‘alive.’
The cafe is open daily. Mornings are quieter, making it easier to take photos without the crowd.
Old Phuket Town
(Phuket Town)
The colorful streets of the old town are the ideal place to capture the island’s unique vibe.
A true paradise for urban street photographers! Narrow lanes, colorful Sino-Portuguese houses with bright facades, painted doors, and old shopfronts create a unique backdrop for photos. The retro atmosphere blends perfectly with cozy cafes, markets, and art installations.
Photo tip: the best time is early morning, when the streets are almost empty and the light is soft. Shots with vibrant facades, doors, windows, and street cafes in the background work perfectly. Contrasting clothing (red, blue, yellow) fits the vibe.
Keep an eye out for murals and little local shops – these small details make your shots even more interesting.
Raga Coffee
(Rawai)
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 08:00 - 18:00
A green oasis with a pond, waterfall, and Instagrammable interior.
A small but very atmospheric café. In this charming, cozy courtyard with lush greenery, a waterfall, and a koi pond, you can take some truly stunning shots.
Photo tip: the best angles are against the greenery or decorative elements. Place a cup of coffee or a piece of cake in the frame – it adds dynamics and makes the photo feel more ‘alive.’
The cafe is located in Rawai and is open daily. Early hours are the best time to capture photos without the crowd.

- Charge your camera/phone.
- Be considerate: don’t occupy photo spots for too long.
- If you’re shooting in a café, place at least a small order — it’s polite.
- Don’t damage nature for the sake of a pretty shot: don’t break branches, don’t litter.
