Phuket is an island in Thailand that is shaped like a small leaf. Bridges connect the mainland with the northern tip of the island. There are many resort towns and palm-fringed beaches in the Andaman Sea that offer crystal clear waters that are perfectly situated for a tourist to visit. These include Phuket Town, Chalong Bay, Nau Harn Beach, Kata Beach, Karon Beach, Patong Beach, and Mai Kao Beach. Phuket is an hour’s flight from Bangkok and boasts a stunningly beautiful landscape of breathtaking scenery, stretches of white sandy beaches, brilliant blue seas and breathtaking sunsets.
Amazing choice of accommodation
Many tourists visit this magical paradise every year. In order to cater to all tourists, a staggering variety of Phuket accommodation is offered, depending on the interests and preferences of the tourist. For example, if a tourist has come to Phuket for a short stay only, he will find that a resort or hotel will be a good option. If the tourist is traveling on a budget, he can opt for the boutique or bungalow resort which has all the necessary facilities like a swimming pool and other recreational facilities along with the budget accommodation.
Enjoying everything the Island offers
Accommodation in Phuket offers the ideal base from which to enjoy all that the island has to offer. There are beautiful beaches, limestone cliffs, cultural sites, wildlife attractions, tourist favorites, and deserted beaches. If a visitor wants to experience a pulsating nightlife, accommodation in Patong Beach will be the perfect base to enjoy. Patong’s crescent-shaped bay will also offer plenty of daytime activities including windsurfing, snorkelling, and sailing.
There is usually ample accommodation to be found in Phuket. If a visitor is coming to Phuket during the peak season from Christmas to February, it will be advisable to book their accommodation in advance. Most of the hotels in Phuket are fully booked during this period. A traveler wanting cheap accommodation in the off-season should have no problem getting a room somewhere upon arrival. For a visitor looking for mid to upper range accommodation, you need to book in advance. There will be many guest houses that can also be found in the cities. However, generally speaking, the further from the beaches a visitor goes, the cheaper the room will be.
Enjoy a variety of activities.
Whichever type of Phuket accommodation a tourist chooses, most of them will provide arrangements for the visitor to enjoy a variety of activities to be found within the area. For example, canoe trips can be arranged to explore the caves in Phang Nga Bay. A river rafting trip can also be arranged for the more adventurous travelers. Other activities that can be arranged from the lodges include jungle treks, tours of a wildlife center, and elephant rides. Also, for a weary traveler looking for relaxation and rejuvenation, some of the accommodations will offer the visitor wonderful spa services that provide beauty treatments, mud baths, herbal treatments and body massages.
