Phuket is one of those post card worthy destinations that flaunts beauty pretty much everywhere you turn. To top this there are lots of fun activities to try here, the best of which are listed below.
It is an underwater world worthy of awe but the best part is you stay completely dry when exploring this marine universe. If you are wondering how this is even possible visit the Phuket Aquarium. This artistic aquarium features a large tunnel tank that houses a plethora of different species. While you journey from one end to another, prepare to be greeted by rays, snappers, sharks and lots more. One thing for sure is the feeling of being underwater is oh so real in this tunnel. Apart from the tunnel there are over 30 tanks of water which showcases interesting creatures like eels, crabs, sharks, shrimps and a myriad of brightly coloured inhabitants. All in all, this place is a great place to learn all about the marine world and it equally appeals to children and adults alike.
Scenic appeal is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of Phuket and if you want a good dose of the picturesque side of this island pay a visit to the Phang Nga Bay. Known above all for the magnificent limestone karsts that jut out of the tranquil emerald waters the whole picture is perfection at the Phang Nga Bay. When visiting this attraction, make sure you cover the famous James Bond Island and Koh Panyee both of which are rather interesting places to explore. If you want to do justice to the beauty of this region indulge in a boat ride from the northern end of Phuket and cruise around the area.
Apart from natural attractions, Phuket also happens to be loaded with plenty of fun filled attractions. To enjoy a good laugh and some fabulous photographs pay a visit to the Phuket Trickeye Museum. This Museum is actually an interactive 3D painting exhibition that offers a number of exciting photo opportunities that is lots of fun for the whole family. All the posing may not seem so real at first but wait till you see the photographs and you will have trouble not being fooled by this optical illusion! The Trickeye Museum has a large gallery with many sets each of which uses special techniques to create unreal situation that turns out quite convincing on photographs.
With all the water surrounding, Phuket offers plenty of water sports to enjoy. The best part is it is actually a famous destination for surfing so if you are keen on riding the waves you will have plenty of fun doing just that. One Phuket resort that allows you to enjoy some water based fun is Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas . The closer you are to the beach the easier it is to enjoy some fun in the sea.
If you want a dose of the historic side of Phuket, visit the Old Phuket Town. Adorned with an array of age old buildings, this is one place that you will surely fall in love with.
