Best Hotels in Phuket
Phuket is an island jam-packed with luxury resorts, but the $64,000 question is: 'Which are the best?' Ok, let?s start with the best then. Renaissance Phuket in Patong Beach, Andara Resort & Villas in Kamala Beach and Cape Sienna Phuket also in Kamala Beach.
Sightseeing in Phuket
Phuket Half-Day Safari Tour: It's fun for the whole family on this half day combination tour on Phuket island. Admire the unspoiled scenery from the back of an elephant and canoe the calm surrounding waters.
Nightlife in Phuket
The sex tourism sector in Phuket is nowhere near the scale of that found in Bangkok or Pattaya but it is still an attraction for a large number of visitors. You do not need to be an active participant to go to the go-go bars. Couples, families and tour groups mingle with the sex tourists wandering around the bars.
Restaurants in Phuket
One of the wonderful characteristics of Thailand is the reverence for food and eating, so you can eat at almost any time of the day. Tropical fruit, banana fritters, barbecue chicken and sticky rice? It's all here.
Weather
Phuket has a moist, tropical climate, influenced chiefly by monsoon winds that vary in direction according to the season. From March to September, as the sun's rays strike directly above the equator, the land mass of Asia is heated more than is the Indian Ocean. This draws moist hot air from the ocean over Phuket and southern Thailand, bringing the rains of the southwest monsoon. By mid-April the winds are mainly from the southwest and are heavy with moisture.
Safety Issues
The tragic tsunami of 2004 has been well documented and though the odds of it occurring again in the near future are slim, the Aceh-Andaman fault line remains a threat so that a tsunami warning system, with buoys, sirens and evacuation routes has been put in place. Be aware that tsunami drills are undertaken from time-to-time.
