Nai Yang Beach in Phuket is a serene coastal gem, tucked near the airport, offering a tranquil retreat from tourist crowds.
Surin Beach is situated along the west coast of Phuket and is often referred to as ‘Millionaire’s Row’ due to the plush properties that can be observed high in the surrounding hills.
Kamala Beach is located north of Patong and is another west coast beach town on Phuket.
Patong is Phuket’s party town and a whole lot more.
Kathu lies in the centre of the island and has both a traditional old village, as well as more modern areas that make up the rest of the town.

Kata Beach is one of Phuket’s highlights, a stunningly beautiful stretch of white, sandy shore that attracts crowds any time of the year.
