Great Views from Panwa, Kata, and Nai Harn

Phuket has plenty of vantage points from which to take in the amazing ocean sunsets, but there are a few that deserve special attention. Phuket’s best sundown spots include Nai Harn, Promthep, Kata, and Panwa. Get a drink, take a seat, and watch the show.

Wat Chalong

This beautiful temple is one of the most visited in Phuket. Decorated with glass as well as more traditional architectural elements, this temple is not only a lovely sight but also is the location for several interesting markets that sell both food and various goods, including souvenirs.

Phi Phi Island

This is one of the most beautiful and beloved islands in all of Thailand. The jewel of Phuket, this island is not only beautiful, with sandy beaches, clear water, and stunning cliffs, but it also offers visitors plenty of opportunities to explore both land and sea at Phi Phi and the surrounding islands.

Muay Thai

Muay Thai is an amazingly intense sport that features fighters with amazing skills and strength. Take in a Thai boxing fight at Patong Beach or Phuket City and learn why Thailand’s national sport is gaining popularity around the world.

Big Buddha

This huge Buddha statue has become one of the most important landmarks in Chalong. From atop the hill where the Buddha – and another, smaller Buddha – sits, you can get spectacular views of not only Chalong but also Rawai and Kata. You can drive to this excellent lookout spot and admire the Buddha up close.

Phang Nga Bay

This bay is surrounded by spectacular features. The water is a beautiful green color and the cliffs are a dramatic contrast to the rich forest that is found on some of the islands around the bay. A trip around the bay is a special experience you won’t soon forget.

Phuket Old Town
