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.

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.

The Divine Peninsula is located at the southernmost point of Phuket Island and is the best place to enjoy a charming sunset. Located on the mountaintop with a wide view, many tourists and couples gather here every evening to feel the romantic atmosphere. In addition, the Four-Faced Buddha also exists on the Divine Peninsula, which is the belief of local Thai people. Prayer offerings should be made clockwise, and after making a wish, it is necessary to return to fulfill the vow. The Ninth Reign King Memorial Lighthouse also stands on the highest peak of the Divine Peninsula, which is available for free visitation. Additionally, visitors can walk down the mountain slopes to the sea reef for a close-up view of the beautiful scenery of the waves hitting the shores, but swimming should be cautious and it is best to wear swimsuits. Near the Divine Peninsula, there are also other attractions such as Naihan Beach and Rawai Beach. Naihan Beach is peaceful and beautiful, suitable for slow walks, while Rawai Beach, located near Phuket's fishing port, is devoted to creating a seafood-tasting destination. After watching the beautiful sunset, going to Rawai Beach to taste delicious seafood will be an unforgettable experience.

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.

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.

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.
