Phuket Secrets
Located in the south of Thailand, Phuket is the largest and arguably the most fun of all the Thai islands. Phuket has it all: a large number of entertainment options, top-class shopping venues and some of the most gorgeous beaches in the whole country. With so much to see and do and so many choices, it can be a little overwhelming
THE AREA
In Phuket's Old Town You’ll find street after street of old, colorful colonial-style mansions and townhouses hosting cute, cozy stores and eateries — perfect for Instagram and a welcome change of pace compared to some of Phuket’s more lively districts.
One of Phuket’s many gorgeous beaches, Freedom Beach, is one of the most secluded and pristine on the island. It’s a little more remote and more difficult to access than the others, but it’s well worth the effort — an empty beach free from water sports and loud music will be your reward. Tree lined, with soft sand and clear, blue seas, it’s a postcard-worthy beach that you can experience for yourself.
et in the scenic Old Town of Phuket, the walking street market is the place to be to sample traditional, southern Thai cuisine. Aside from the delicious food, those lucky enough to visit can shop for authentic Thai handicrafts and gifts under the scenic Chinese lanterns and between the pretty, colorful buildings.
