Where to go in Phuket?

Phuket has it all: green hills with breathtaking views, a picturesque coastline, bustling markets, and ancient temples. In our recommendations, you will find ideas on where to go in Phuket and create your own itinerary.

First and foremost – the beaches. There are more than thirty beaches in Phuket, so you can discover a new one every day. There are popular tourist beaches, wild hidden spots, and Instagrammable locations – perfect for the most striking photos. We have collected all the beaches here.

Attractions. The island is famous for its rich culture, history, and nature, as well as the way the locals have skillfully highlighted the beauty of the landscapes. In the Attractions section, you will find parks, waterfalls, spectacular shows, and places with historical context.

We also have a separate recommendation on where to go in Phuket on your own and enjoy exploring the city. Of course, a trip would be incomplete without Phuket Town. Colorful Sino-Portuguese houses, museums, street art objects, and bright murals on the walls – the perfect way to feel the island’s culture.

In Phuket, Buddhism is practiced, and the temples amaze with their decorations: gold, precious stones, majestic statues of Buddha, the finest paintings, and mosaics. See the collection of the island’s main temples here. In the museums, you will immerse yourself in the history of the country and the island, dive into the era of tin mining, migration, and the life of the Peranakan people. And museums in Phuket are not always boring halls with art galleries – often they are old houses carefully preserved by families from generation to generation. Check out the selection of the best ones here.

And visiting temples and museums is also an excellent option for where to go in Phuket on a rainy day. Yes, in the low season the weather can be unpredictable, but it is not necessary to wait out the downpours in a hotel. See the collection of ideas on what to do in the rain in Phuket.

Cafes and restaurants are another type of pleasure. You can arrange a gastronomic tour of establishments with different cuisines of the world – national Thai, classic Italian and French, spicy Mexican, and this is far from a complete list of food concepts on the island. In the Cafes and Restaurants section, we have put together selections of establishments for different requests.
