phuket dive sites

Shark Point Area

    The Shark Point area has several dive sites east of Phuket, on the way to the Phi Phi Islands. It takes about 90 minutes to get there by dive boat, and the trips depart every morning. Usually, the dive operator will offer two or three dives on the cluster of reefs surrounding Shark Point, including Anemone Reef, King Cruiser Wreck and Koh Dok Mai.

          Heeowhat Beach

          Heeowhat Beach

            Heeowhat Beach is quite large, with tall trees near Cape Panwa on the east coast of Phuket. It is home to the Pullman Panwa Phuket Resort, but because the beach is very wide and shallow, it is not a swimming beach, just great for walks in a peaceful atmosphere.

            Makham Beach in Phuket

            Makham Beach

              Makham Beach is one of the island’s least-known beaches, hidden near Cape Panwa when driving from Phuket Town. The beach is lovely to walk on, but the sea is not as blue as other tourist beaches on the East Coast

              Siam Beach

              Siam Beach

                Siam Beach on the west coast of Phuket is so small and hard to reach via stairs that it is not worth going there; we list it here because it is considered a beach, good for snorkelling.

                Yae Beach Phuket

                Yae Beach

                  Yae Beach is not fantastic, but we wanted to see it since it is hard to find. It’s on a cape between Patong and Kamala, and you won’t see much there, just a small hut selling drinks when it’s open.

                  Shore Diving in Kata Beach

                    The Kata Beach shore diving on the south side of Kata Beach is popular with local diving schools for training as it’s an easy entry and a short swim to the reef

                    Wat Baan Kamala

                    Samnaksong Charoentham Kamala

                      Wat Baan Kamala is a modest temple near the entrance of town. It is quite modest, but the long lines of small golden Buddhas are worth a photo and a glimpse of real Thai life. Remember that this is a religious site so don’t wear too short clothes.

                                    Thai Hua Hokkien club

                                    Thai Hua Club (Songtek Building)

                                      Songtek Building, Phuket’s first Chinese school, was established in 1911. Initially, Chinese was taught using rote methods, with teachers holding classes in homes or shrines, known as “Sue Sok,” to educate the Hokkien Chinese descendants in Phuket. In 1917, as the number of students grew, Luang Chanathon Nithet donated land on Dibuk Road to build Songtek School.

                                      Luang Amnart Nararak Mansion

                                      Luang Amnart Nararak Mansion

                                        Luang Amnat Nararak’s Mansion was built around 1925-1926. This grand mansion showcases an extravagant use of frescoes, a typical feature of Sino-Portuguese architecture. The Chinese believe that bats symbolize good fortune and longevity, which is why bats are a recurring motif in the mansion’s decoration. The mansion has undergone several renovations, the most recent being in 1957, but the main structure remains unchanged. This two-storey mansion features a front porch adjoining the driveway, and its polygonal side wings include small balconies.
