 At 49km long, Phuket is Thailand's largest island - so big it almost does not feel like an island at all! Known as the 'pearl of the Andaman', Phuket is renowned for its miles of sandy white beaches, the azure waters of the Andaman Sea and warm Thai hospitality. Located approximately 862 kilometres south of Bangkok, its natural resources - rocky peninsulas, limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches, tranquil broad bays and tropical in-land forests contribute to making it the South's wealthiest, busiest, most visited and most popular island and province.
Phuket has a lot more to offer its visitors other than its natural heritage, sea, sand, sky, beach, forest, and world-renowned diving sites. Sino-Portuguese architecture casts its spell delighting travellers to the city, while Phuket-style hospitality has never failed to impress visitors from all walks of life. For seafood lovers, there is much more to sample than just Phuket's famous lobster. Altogether, these characteristics have made Phuket a truly unique destination

Next to it stands a smaller, golden image that is actually made of brass and there is a shrine near the site's car park. The drive up to the Big Buddha takes you through the 'real' Thailand and the view from the top is enhanced if you take a map to identify the many, many sights.

Diving in Similan Islands 
Visit the world famous Similan Islands, described as one of the top ten dive destinations in the world, and see the amazing contrast of colourful coral reefs teeming with fish life often visited by whale sharks and manta rays, huge underwater boulders forming exciting gullies, canyons and swim-throughs, and pure white sand beaches lapped by the crystal clear waters of the Andaman Sea.

There is a variety of beach restaurants and bars right behind the beach, ideal for a relaxed dinner. Nai-Harn Beach still remains less commercial than the main beaches Patong, Kata and Karon and maintains his status to be the most popular beach amongst the local expat and Thai community.
