More beaches and caves: Laem Sing Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Phuket is the number 1 tourist destination of Thailand, thanks to its beautiful beaches. Some beaches are trapped into mass tourism, but some other almost stay unspoilt. Here is a picture of the Laem Sing Beach, a very small beach between Kamala and Surin Beach. You have to take a short walk downstairs to arrive at this beautiful spot.

    More beaches and caves: Close to Naiharn Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • We had been driving around for some time and stopped at this beautiful spot. I don't know exactly where it was, but it's very close to Naiharn Beach. Thanks to a nice comment of VT-member Tina Perth, I now know that it's in the southern part of Phuket.

    More beaches and caves: Kamala Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kamala Beach is a ten minutes drive from Patong Beach. It is a quiet beach with only a few bars to enjoy and relax during day or in the evening. Hopefully, it'll stay like this and not be absorbed into mass tourism, like some beaches already did.

    Temples: Wat Chalong
  • Tip Rating:
  • This temple is situated on the road from Phuket Town to Rawai Beach. It was one of the most beautiful and authentic temples I saw. It is Phukets most important Buddhist temple. Many Thais come here to be blessed by the monks. The temple enshrines statues of Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Pho Chuang, Phuket's most revered monks.

    Things To Do: The green countryside
  • Tip Rating:
  • Phuket is a very green island. Unfortunately, most tourists only see the beaches. If you rent a motorbike or car, you can easily discover the green countryside. It's great to drive between the banana fields and discover real Phuket life!

     Sorry for being a bit harsh. I was frustrated at reading so many peoples tips on Phuket that were empty or inaccurate.
