If luxury living in Phuket is what you're looking for, you'll have plenty of options to choose from. Let's look at some of best things to do.
If exploration is something you're fond of, you could enjoy a blissful afternoon kayaking in the many sea caves of the Phang Nga Bay. Along with an experienced guide, you'll be able to witness these limestone caves and hidden lagoons that were discovered by John Gray back in 1989. You'll be able to indulge yourself in a delicious seafood buffet before finishing off your evening by floating a handmade flower Kratong guided by the bio-luminescent plankton in the waters. Within these caves, you'll come across creatures like kingfishers, macaques, sea eagles, water monitors and even brahminy kites.
The Ayodhaya, a wonderful wooden boat hosts a cruise, exploring some of the most vibrant scenery in Phang Nga. The boat offers enough deck space for soaking up these magnificent views. While you cruise in these serene waters, you'll be treated to a delicious barbecue dinner. Be sure to bring a camera along with you as the coastal scenery here is some of the most striking ever. Light snacks are served on the deck as you relax and enjoy the cruise. You'll also have the opportunity to explore the Koh Hong and Koh Panak Islands in a canoe with an expert paddler. The tiny isles here feature many jagged rocks and sea caves. You'll have the option of having the guide paddle or paddling yourself.
The beautiful Similan Islands offer some diverse marine life and breathtaking sights that are wonderful to explore. You can enjoy a day in the glory of one of the world's best snorkelling and diving sites where the crystal clear waters with their rich and colourful coral and marine life simply elevate this whole experience. You'll be picked up from your hotel where you'll travel to the Thuplamu pier located in the Phang Nga Province. You'll pick your snorkelling gear after meeting a guide and take a speedboat to the Islands. Koh Payu would be the first snorkelling site. Phuket property investment has boomed over the last few years, allowing the purchase of villas at luxury resorts which make for a great stay. Infinite Luxury is one such example of this concept in action.
The signature treatments at the luxurious Oasis Spa in Phuket offer some tranquil experiences that mark it as a truly luxurious experience. You'll come into a sense of serene bliss with their offerings in customized treatments to relieve tension and eliminate stress.
If you're looking for a great introduction into life on Phuket away from all the main tourist spots, the Private Phuket Island Afternoon Tour & Rum Tasting Session makes for a great experience. You'll be paired with an insightful guide to explore the better-kept secrets of Phuket. The first stop on the tour is a local cashew nut plantation and factory where you can learn how they process one of Phuket's most abundant crops. Afterwards, you will be taken to the Chalong Rum distillery, a relatively little-known place where you can get an up close and personal look at the entire process of rum production and bottling.
