The 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 to pay a visit to the Phang Nga Bay. Known above all for the iconic limestone karsts that jut out of the waters, the whole picture is perfection here.

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 even you for an instance may end up getting fooled! The Trickeye Museum has a large gallery with several sets each of which uses special techniques to create interesting sets that depict an unreal situation that turns out quite convincing on photographs.
With all the water surrounding, Phuket offers plenty of water sports to enjoy. Surfing, for instance, is very popular in Phuket so if you are keen on riding the waves you will have plenty of fun doing just that. Apart from surfing you can whisk across the ocean in a jet ski or try out some other fun activities like going on a banana boat ride, parasailing, diving and snorkelling.

Seated atop the Nakkerd Hills, the Buddha statue overlooks the well-known regions of Kata, Chalong and Rawai. Situated at a height of 45 meters, the Big Buddha can be spotted from miles away and is a tempting attraction to explore. In addition to the main Buddha statue, there are also a number of smaller golden Buddha images on either side of the statue contributing to the sense of serenity that this destination is so famously known for.
