#3 - Phuket - Phuket is an island off Thailand’s

southern coastline and number three on my

list of best places to visit in Thailand. Beautiful

sandy beaches, beach huts, five star hotels,

cafes, restaurants, and some of the world’s best

snorkeling and scuba diving is why Phuket is

so popular with tourists, and one of the top five

best places to visit in Thailand. Phuket is very

hot (great for those who love to sunbathe), but

with the white sandy beaches and blue ocean,

you don’t really notice the heat. During the day,

you can snorkel, scuba dive, sunbathe, ride a

banana boat, or just lounge around at various

cafes drinking coffee and eating cakes. At

night, restaurants all along the many beaches

serve fresh seafood, Thai food, western food

and everything in between. Nightclubs are

open and you’ll even see fire dancers on the

beaches, celebrating the gorgeous evening.

There are hundreds of beaches on Phuket

from large ones overloaded with tourists to tiny,

hidden ones that only a few people know about.

No matter what your style, there’s something

for everyone in Phuket.

Top 5 Destinations in Thailand

Banyan Tree - Phuket

JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa- Phuket

Amanpuri - Phuket

Bordered by the golden sands and gentle waves of the Andaman

Sea and within a cluster of 5 star hotels in Laguna Phuket lies Banyan

Tree Phuket, a luxury resort in the Phuket tropics exuding rest and

tranquility. A paradise of extraordinary natural beauty, it is no wonder

Banyan Tree Phuket has earned accolades from leading magazines

the world over. A ‘Land of Smiles’ indeed under the sheltering canopy

of the Banyan Tree.

Phuket’s Amanpuri is the very first Amanresorts

property and, perhaps, the loveliest. Guests may

book one of 40 rooms or 30 villas and dine in either

of the 2 restaurants before hitting the property’s

bar. Villas come with a private pool, a driver, a

gardener and two maids. Wet bathing suits seem

to magically dry and fold themselves as evidence

of the property’s commitment to inconspicuous

service.
