Immaculate white beach sand and crystal clear, turquoise waters and one of South East Asia’s best snorkeling locations. Canoe hire and scuba-diving courses available. The Racha Resort provides a rest from snorkeling with a restaurant, cocktail bar and swimming pool. Best visited as a day tour from Chalong Pier, Phuket.

One of the world’s largest outdoor markets with over 1,500 vendors forming a maze-like grid of stalls each weekend. Items for sale include clothing, souvenirs, homewares, jewellery, curry sauces, street food, and much more.

A pristine, white sandy beach with dramatic cliff landscapes only accessible by boat. No vehicles (other than golf buggies) are allowed on the peninsula, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Activities range from lazing in the sparkling, calm sea to rock climbing. Dozens of accommodation options ranging from budget to luxury.

A hectic mega metropolis in stark contrast to Thailand’s paradisiac island beaches. Never go hungry in the world’s street food capital. Munch on fried insects in Chinatown or pick up bargain phad Thai from a street cart vendor. After dark, the streets come to life in a sea of neon beneath thumping music from epic rooftop bars as seen in The Hangover Part II. Retail enthusiasts can shop ‘til you drop in cavernous malls featuring cinemas, bowling alleys, and even an aquarium. Or for a more authentic experience, find souvenirs at a floating market, or clothing and handicrafts at Chatuchak, in the world’s largest outdoor market.
