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.

Lanta Island is located about 70 kilometers south of Krabi Town and has retained its original charm without being overly developed like Phuket. The island is only one-third the size of Phuket, and you can go around the island in just over an hour. To explore Lanta Island better, renting a motorbike for an island tour is the best way, and most tourists choose to stay for about two days.
Accommodation on Lanta Island is also very convenient, and tourists can arrange it according to their own preferences. The eastern part is Lanta Old Town, where the Sea Gypsies live; the western part has beaches and hotels that are popular with tourists and have the most concentrated accommodations; Sala Dan town in the north is close to the ferry pier, making it convenient for dining, entertainment, and relatively cheaper accommodations.

This is a typical Southeast Asian village and the most populous area of the local area, which quickly developed into a tourist destination. Almost everyone who comes to Lanta Island now stays here, but it is mostly quiet and peaceful. Even though restaurants, grocery stores, and cafes all display signs of tourist attractions, you can feel their comfort and ease as you go in each door. The most interesting thing is the parrot at the entrance of a store, which will greet you and say in Thai, "Sawatdee ka."

The Phi Phi Islands are located approximately 20 kilometers southeast of Phuket and consist of two main islands. Established as a national park in 1983, the islands enjoy abundant sunshine all year round and are famous for their shrimp production. The islands boast pristine white beaches, crystal clear waters, and unique natural caves, all of which are preserved in their natural state. This makes them stand out from the more than 30 other surrounding islands near Phuket. Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Leh was the filming location for the movie "The Beach", and the waters around it have moderate depths and many coral reefs, making it a great spot for diving. Today, the Phi Phi Islands have become one of the most sought-after holiday destinations.
