5 Activities to Spend Your Time and Money on Your Next Luxury Escape to Phuket

A slice of paradise worth discovering, the island of Phuket in Thailand offers holidays full of adventure and beachside bliss. Here are some things well worth spending on or just trying out.

Spending Time at Patong Beach

It goes without saying that beaches are plentiful in Phuket and you have lots of chances to enjoy a fun filled day in the sun, sand and surf. The longest beach on the island, Patong Beach is a great place to just soak up the laidback coastal vibe while engaging in some people watching too. Yes, the beach can get crowded at times, but it still offers a seaside charm worth experiencing while on holiday. Added to this, is the fact that there is water sports, shopping, dining and nightlife as well, so you can look forward to an unforgettable day and night out in the area.

Exploring Rawai Village

For a chance to get a different perspective of Phuket plan to visit and explore Rawai Village. This idyllic village is where you will find the Moken tribe and can learn more about their traditional way of life. Fishing is a livelihood here that has been passed down from one generation to the next, while some fisher folk now even act as guides and will offer you trips out to sea. The area itself is quite picturesque set amidst a backdrop of a palm fringed beach and a scenic fishing harbour. It is also a great place to set out on expeditions to nearby offshore islands.

Some spas even have separate treatment rooms for couples, offering more privacy and a chance to embark on a wellness journey with that special someone.
