Phuket Town is located in the central part of Phuket, about a 30-minute drive from Phuket Airport and a 45-minute drive from Patong. This is where the Phuket government is located, while Patong is the tourist center, and the two have different atmospheres. In Phuket Town, you can get an in-depth look at the local way of life and taste cheap and delicious food. Phuket Town includes residential areas, commercial areas, schools, and other areas, but not all areas are worth visiting.
Early Chinese immigrants once gathered in Phuket Town, and the old street preserves nearly a century of Portuguese-style architecture, which is one of the shooting locations for the Thai movie "Seasons Change." These buildings have been protected by the government. On the old street, you can find shops selling traditional Peranakan-style clothing, and some old houses have been converted into bars and guesthouses, suitable for fresh tourists or photography enthusiasts who like to look for the shadows of old times in Phuket Town.
In addition to the old street, Phuket Town also has a viewing point located on Rang Hill. On the hill, besides dense vegetation and negative oxygen ions, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Phuket Town and the east coast. At night, Rang Hill is a good place for local couples to date, and there are several famous restaurants on the hill, suitable for enjoying the night view of Phuket. During the day, when you go up to Rang Hill, you also have the chance to see groups of macaques. You can feed them with peanuts, but please do not touch them. If you are injured, you need to go to the hospital for timely vaccination.

Wat Chalong, located in the Chalong area of Phuket, is one of the oldest and most famous temples in Phuket with a history of over 100 years. The temple adopts traditional Thai architectural style and has four main halls: the main hall, the pagoda, the original site of the temple, and the old ancestor hall. The main hall is the most eye-catching building in the temple, where three bronze statues of high monks are enshrined for worshipers to feel the solemn atmosphere of Buddhism. The pagoda is the tallest building in the temple, divided into three floors. The first floor enshrines seven different postures of Buddha statues based on the day of worshipper's birth. The second floor enshrines a white jade Buddha statue, while the third floor enshrines the holy relic of Buddhism: Buddha's ashes, which was given to Thailand by Sri Lanka, and is very precious despite its small size. The original site of the temple is a small wooden house that has been preserved since the temple was built. It enshrines wax statues of the three high monks and some utensils that were used by high monks, and is also the only hall in the temple with air conditioning. There is also a slightly inconspicuous white building near the center of the temple, where Buddha statues and two bronze guardian statues are enshrined, and worshippers can offer incense through small holes in the mouths of the bronze statues. Wat Chalong also offers inexpensive souvenirs for tourists to buy, but some halls are not open to visitors, so please be aware.

Karon Beach is located in the south of Patong, with a small hill in between. Compared to Patong Beach, Karon Beach has a longer coastline, softer sand, and clearer water. However, the waves are bigger than Patong, so swimming is not suitable for the whole year. This is also a high-risk area for drowning accidents, so Karon Beach does not have sun loungers or umbrellas, nor water activities such as parasailing and banana boats. Occasionally, surfers will surf here. There are many star hotels near Karon, just across the road from the beach, suitable for tourists who like a quiet vacation. The shopping and dining areas are scattered compared to Patong, and there are convenience stores and night markets along the beach. Karon Beach and the surrounding areas are public areas, no tickets are required, and open to tourists all day. At night, there will be sparkling fishing fires in the distance, giving people a sense of peace and romance on the beach.

Phang Nga Bay belongs to Phang Nga Province and is located 75 kilometers northeast of Phuket Island. It covers a total area of 400 square kilometers and has 42 small islands, with unique and peculiar mountain shapes, mysterious, steep and beautiful caves. The unique mangrove ecology is named "James Bond Island" after the movie "James Bond". Although the sea water in Phang Nga Bay appears murky green, it still attracts many travelers to explore the mysterious caves. Different caves such as Bat Cave, Mangrove Cave, Diamond Cave, Oyster Cave, Room Cave, etc. have different shapes. Kayaking exploration is exciting and safe, and you may also see wild animals such as monkeys, mudflat fish, lizards, etc. Since there are no islands for tourists to stay on in Phang Nga Bay, and visiting each island or cave requires a professional guide, it is recommended that tourists not go alone and should ideally sign up for a one-day tour, including round-trip transfer services.

Patong Beach is a public beach located in the middle of the west coast of Phuket Island. It is three kilometers long, requires no entrance fee, and is open to the public 24 hours a day. Due to the natural bay barrier, the waves here are relatively calm and perfect for swimming and beach activities. Patong Beach's unique geographical conditions have made it one of the earliest and most mature beaches in Phuket Island. Here, you can find a large number of hotels, restaurants, bars, and small shops, and enjoy a wonderful holiday. However, the prosperity of Patong Beach also brings commercialization and environmental pollution, and the beach and seawater are some of the most polluted in Phuket.
Choosing to stay in Patong Beach, you can enjoy beach activities such as beach chairs, umbrellas, Thai massages, motor boats, banana boats, and parasailing during the day, and taste seafood stalls, buy souvenirs or spend a beautiful night in a bar at night. If you are interested in Phuket's bar culture, you might as well go to Bangala Road and experience the pedestrian street perpendicular to the beach, enjoy the performances of pole dancing girls and ladyboys, or watch various unique performances. Even if you are not a fan of nightlife, you can stroll through the bar street at night and experience Phuket's unique culture.

Emperor Island is located about 20 kilometers south of Phuket Island. Although there are not many attractions compared to Pipi Island, its beautiful scenery, clear water, abundant marine life, and pristine environment are loved by many Chinese travelers. The water quality around the island is very clear, and you can snorkel directly from the beach into the sea. There is no commercial area on Emperor Island, and the only souvenir shop is in the hotel. Unlike Pipi Island, the waves on the way to Emperor Island are bigger, and it is necessary to take seasickness medicine in advance to be mentally prepared for the bumps. However, the scenery on the island is beautiful, and the boat ride time is not too long, which is very suitable for leisure vacations.
In addition, Emperor Island is also a paradise for deep-sea diving enthusiasts. It provides differentiated diving services for travelers who want to try diving or professional divers who want to obtain dive licenses. There is a Chinese diving institution on the island, which facilitates communication and training. However, due to the limited number of diving instructors, if you need diving services, you must make an appointment in advance. The one-day diving itinerary is roughly divided into three types: Emperor Island speedboat tour with additional diving experience (no need for a diving license, one dive per day); dedicated diving boat to Emperor Island waters for diving (no need for a diving license, two dives per day); staying on Emperor Island and directly scheduling with a diving instructor in the hotel (no need for a diving license, one or two dives). If you need to obtain a license, it will take at least 3-5 days. However, once you obtain a PADI Open Water Diver license, it will be internationally recognized.

Coral Island is a small island very close to Phuket, and is one of the classic team travel projects, which is called "Haha Island" by Taiwan tourists. The sea here is very clear, even more transparent than Phuket, and it only takes 15 minutes by speedboat, which is very convenient.
If you are someone who loves water activities, Coral Island will be a paradise that makes you excited. You can try activities such as parasailing, banana boat, underwater walking, and scuba diving. All of these activities are operated by professional tourism companies and the tourism fees also include travel insurance, which is very safe and reliable.
For itinerary arrangements, you can choose a half-day or a full-day tour, and the specific price depends on the route and quality provided by the operating company, usually between 800-1500 baht. Starting from Chalong Pier or Rawai Pier in the south of Phuket, you can book water activities with a day tour in advance, or directly sign up on the island. Booking in advance can also enjoy certain discounts. No matter which method you choose, I believe that coming to Coral Island will be an unforgettable travel experience.
