What to See and Do in Phuket
14,576 viewsBy Willy Thuan · Living in Phuket since 1994
There is so much to do in Phuket and around, which is quite surprising considering how small the island is! Our list of things to see and do in Phuket could be broken down into two categories: what to do on the island and what to do near the island, like Phang Nga Bay, Khao Lak, and the many small islands nearby. Then, there are natural wonders such as beaches and islands, as well as man-made attractions such as temples, theme parks, and nightlife activities.
