Best Things to Do in Phuket
The places, attractions and experiences worth your time in and around Phuket - and the homes that put you close to them.
Where to start
Our homes in Phuket sit on the west coast around Bang Tao and Laguna, and the beaches run south from there: Surin and Kamala first, then busier Patong, Karon and Kata. Phuket Old Town, with its Sino-Portuguese shophouses, is worth a morning, and Wat Chalong is the island's best known temple. In the evening, Phuket Fantasea in Kamala is the big show, and Karon Viewpoint is the place to watch the sun go down over the bay.
