of Phuket, as well as being home to the majority of hotels and services. Although one of the largest, it is not one of the best beaches in Phuket. However, it is always crowded with tourists who are attracted to this part of the island. If, in addition to paradise beaches, you want to enjoy the nightlife and party atmosphere, Patong Beach is a must on your list of things to do in Phuket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" data-attachment-id=\"23541\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-in-phuket\/attachment\/vacations-in-phuket-thailand-patong-beach-the-most-visited-beach\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?fit=1024%2C662&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,662\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vacations in Phuket Thailand Patong Beach, the most visited beach\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Vacations in Phuket Thailand Patong Beach, the most visited beach&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Vacations in Phuket, Thailand: Patong Beach, the most visited beach @Unsplash&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?fit=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?fit=1024%2C662&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?resize=1024%2C662&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vacations in Phuket Thailand Patong Beach, the most visited beach\" class=\"wp-image-23541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vacations-in-Phuket-Thailand-Patong-Beach-the-most-visited-beach.jpeg?resize=768%2C497&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Vacations in Phuket, Thailand: Patong Beach, the most visited beach @Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kamala-beach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kamala-Beach\"><\/span>Kamala Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Near Patong Beach, but much quieter and less crowded than Patong, is Kamala Beach. A popular destination for families and travellers who prioritise tranquillity over nightlife, but opt for the convenience of a well-serviced beach.

Its beach is long, clean and surfy, making it a good place for water sports such as surfing. The long promenade offers restaurants and shops where you can find the best souvenirs of Phuket. In addition, you can find here one of the best viewpoints in Phuket, overlooking the beaches of Karon, Kata and Kata Noi. It is accessible from Karon by car or an hour-long stroll to authentically enjoy the beauty of southern Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panwa-beach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Panwa-Beach\"><\/span>Panwa Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Panwa Cape is home to one of the most beautiful and most visited beaches in Phuket. It is also the ideal place to stay for those who want to enjoy the comfort and wellness provided by luxury hotels and villas. It could be considered a more exclusive beach, so it is not as crowded as Patong, for example, and is the ideal place to enjoy a few days of relaxation in a dreamlike setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Walking through its streets is a real treat, where you can see 19th-century Sino-Portuguese architecture, with a multitude of colourful historic buildings. The main street is <strong>Thhalang Road<\/strong>, with its low, colourful houses and shops ranging from small restaurants serving traditional Thai cuisine to souvenir shops. Also, on <strong>Krabi Road<\/strong> you can visit another of the most interesting places in the city, the <strong>Thai Hua Museum<\/strong>. This is a beautiful British colonial-style building that houses an important museum of the history of Phuket and the first Chinese immigrants to arrive on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"941\" height=\"720\" data-attachment-id=\"23545\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-in-phuket\/attachment\/best-things-to-do-in-phuket-thailand-phuket-town\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?fit=941%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"941,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7RM2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;52&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Best things to do in Phuket, Thailand: Phuket Town\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Best things to do in Phuket Thailand Phuket Town&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Phuket Town, the island&amp;#8217;s capital and one of the best things to do in Phuket @pixabay&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?fit=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?fit=941%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?resize=941%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Best things to do in Phuket Thailand Phuket Town\" class=\"wp-image-23545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?resize=768%2C588&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Best-things-to-do-in-Phuket-Thailand-Phuket-Town.jpeg?resize=600%2C460&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px\" \/><figcaption>Phuket Town, the island&#8217;s capital and one of the best things to do in Phuket @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visit-the-great-buddha-of-phuket-in-thailand\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit-the-Great-Buddha-of-Phuket-in-Thailand\"><\/span>Visit the Great Buddha of Phuket in Thailand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Big Buddha<\/strong>, or Big Buddha, is one of the island&#8217;s emblems.

Like Phuket, it is known for its paradisiacal beaches and breathtaking scenery, making it a popular destination for tourists travelling to Thailand in search of a few days of sun, beach and relaxation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most famous beaches in Krabi (and all of Thailand) are those on the <strong>Railay<\/strong> peninsula, which is only accessible by sea and is bounded by impressive cliffs. Examples include Railay West Beach, the largest and where you&#8217;ll find the most accommodation and dining options, and <strong>Phra Nang<\/strong>, which is quieter and prettier. The <strong>Phang Nga Bay<\/strong> is also one of the best things to do near Phuket. Located between Krabi and Phuket, this bay offers some of the most beautiful views in Thailand, with its wonderful islands, grottoes and cliffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"23534\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/islands-phi-phi\/attachment\/krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-phi-phi-islands\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,576\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Krabi, one of the best excursions to do in Phi Phi Islands\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Krabi, one of the best excursions to do in Phi Phi Islands &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Krabi, one of the best excursions to do in Phi Phi Islands @Pirata_Morgan&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Krabi, one of the best excursions to do in Phi Phi Islands\" class=\"wp-image-23534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Krabi-one-of-the-best-excursions-to-do-in-Phi-Phi-Islands.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Krabi, one of the best excursions to do close to Phuket @Pirata_Morgan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-things-to-do-in-thailand-phi-phi-phi-islands-close-to-phuket\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things-to-do-in-Thailand-Phi-Phi-Phi-Islands-close-to-Phuket\"><\/span>Things to do in Thailand: Phi Phi Phi Islands close to Phuket <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Phi Phi Phi Islands<\/strong> are a wonderful archipelago of paradise islands in southern Thailand located 45 km from Phuket, and about a two-hour ferry ride away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As is the case in this part of Thailand, the Phi Phi Islands are a popular holiday destination with travellers for their white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and postcard-perfect scenery. Among the islands most famous for their breathtaking beauty is <strong>Koh Phi Phi Phi Don<\/strong>, the largest of the archipelago and the one that offers the most leisure, accommodation and dining facilities to its visitors. Among its essential beaches is <strong>Monkey Beach<\/strong>, a marvellous beach that, apart from its beauty, stands out for the monkeys that live there and greet bathers. Another of the island&#8217;s characteristic points is its <strong>viewpoint<\/strong>, the <strong>Phi Phi Don Viewpoint,<\/strong> located on a hill that can be reached after a 20-minute trekking route. From here you get the best views of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is not the only interesting island in Phi Phi, Koh Pai is another. This island is quieter than the others and receives fewer visitors, making it an ideal place to unwind. There are several companies that organise day trips to the Phi Phi islands from Phuket, one of the best things to do in this part of Thailand. The price is around <strong>\u20ac90<\/strong>, but you can also organise the trip on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

to get to Phuket and it will depend on where you are travelling from to choose the most suitable one for you. Although Phuket has its own airport, <strong>Phuket International Airport<\/strong>, there are currently no direct flights connecting the island to European cities. Usually, at least one stopover in Bangkok, Thailand&#8217;s capital, is required. Prices from Spain are around \u20ac500-800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling from other southern destinations such as Krabi province or the Phi Phi Islands, the best way to get there is by ferry. From the Phi Phi Islands the journey takes about two hours and costs between <strong>\u20ac13<\/strong> and <strong>\u20ac24.<\/strong>  In the case of Krabi, the journey takes about an hour and a half and costs<strong> \u20ac32<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling to Phuket <strong>from Bangkok<\/strong>, one option is to travel by bus. The journey is long, taking between 12 and 16 hours depending on the bus you choose, and the price ranges from <strong>\u20ac17-30<\/strong>. A quicker alternative is by plane, the journey time is one and a half hours and prices range from <strong>\u20ac15-90\u20ac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-in-phuket-in-4-days\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-in-Phuket-in-4-days\"><\/span>What to do in Phuket in 4 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First day in Phuket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kamala Beach<\/li><li>Patong Beach<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Second day in Phuket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Phuket Town<\/li><li>Big Buddha<\/li><li>Night in Patong Beach<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Third day in Phuket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Excursion to the Phi Phi islands<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth day in Phuket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Karon Beach<\/li><li>Panwa Beach<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-eat-in-phuket\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-eat-in-Phuket\"><\/span>Where to eat in Phuket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Thong Dee &#8211; The Kathu Brasserie<\/strong>: This restaurant is one of the best in the Kathu area and in Phuket as a whole.

There are other factors to consider when choosing between the two destinations. For example, if in addition to beaches and relaxation you are looking for other activities and leisure options, Phuket is ideal, as it has a greater variety of options and tourist attractions, such as its beautiful Old Town.
