The most popular destination in Phuket would arguably be Patong Beach, largely due to its wide and long stretch of beach. Most of the nightlife and cheap shopping can be found there. There are several other beachs which are less popular and are loved by people who seek a more relaxed and quiet environment. With its numerous beaches, Phuket is a haven for snorkellers and scuba divers.
While at Phuket, do remember to check out the Two Heroines Monument, as well as the Thalang National Museum. There is also the View Point, located between Nai Han and Kata beaches, where you can view the scenic Kata Noi, Kata and Karon beaches, and Ko Pu Island.
You must taste the locally available Pad Kanaa Moo Grob, which is a dish with cripsy pork and greens. Other popular dishes include noodles, rice with chicken and shrimps with dried chilli.
You probably would not believe you can get accommodation at only THB450! Yes, you can get such unbelievable rates. If you prefer the higher end living, THB23,000 is roughly what you need to pay.
