Phuket Is Beckoning
Phuket, land where the elephant is revered, is blessed with the bounties of Mother Nature. This picturesque island straddles pristine beaches and towering mountains making it a truly blissful abode. Heading south from the main hub of Bangkok, the distance between the two major towns is 687 kilometers that can be covered by flight or a combination of train plus a bus.
As you arrive, be ready for about an hours drive to reach the areas where most of the tourist flock to, that would be Patong Beach and Karon Beach. For those with an aim to party hard and be where the action is– this is the place. Find hotels from budget class to super luxury lined up in an abundance overlooking the panoramic Andaman Sea. You can whisk down to swim in the emerald green water with its waves caressing the cliffs of the adjoining mountains. Between the Karon Beach Viewpoint and Patong Beach lies a quaint coffee shop which peaks over the mountain towards the sea. Enjoy a meal that your tummy will be delighted with and follow it up with superb coffee.
The sunsets and the lights come on at Patong Beach. This is the time to revel in the cacophony that prevails with the clubs open for business and the masseurs out in droves offering you an ethereal Thai foot massage. Not to miss the delectable Thai food with its array of mouth watering dishes. For those who have not developed a taste for the cuisine, you have an abundance of international food chains dotting the town.
For a truly sedentary holiday with just luxury in mind stay at the Laguna Beach area where you have five international super luxury resorts to choose from within the same alcove. The Sheraton and Banyan Tree are the best of the lot but with the Laguna being an area that is all encompassing, the shared facilities are available for all guests to use. Do not forget to take the ferry to the Dusit Thani for an authentic Thai meal.
The soothing sun resting on your bare arms and cool water beneath your feet at Phuket will rest in the realms of your memory forever.
