Thailand is known for being one of the most popular destinations if you want to have a fun holiday under the sun by the sea. Along with this you also get an amazing nightlife and various activities to partake in after the sun sets. Here are some of the best group activities you can take part in while in Phuket.
The best thing you can do in Thailand right after you wake up and have a leisurely breakfast is heading to the beach where you can chill under a palm tree. Soak up the sun and the sea before it gets too hot and retire back to your room or start touring the area. The best beaches here would be the Karon beach and the ones by the bay. After an appropriate time has passed since your breakfast you can take a dip in the cool waters. The sun in this part of the world can be harsh and unforgiving therefore make sure you apply sunscreen generously on yourself before you embark on this beach excursion. Also, carry plenty of water with you in your beach bag as being dehydrated during a trip to Thailand is one of the worst things you can encounter.
If you want to explore the authentic side of Phuket, take a walk down the streets of the city and look into the local life. There are many shops from which you can buy souvenirs and ornaments and you will also find stores that sell clothes that are true to the culture of Thailand. Bright colours and flowy designs are the things Thailand clothes are most known for. This place is a shopaholic's paradise indeed. Whether you are on the lookout for jewellery, traditional handicrafts or house wares, you can find everything and anything under the sun, make sure you bargain at these shops and if you are not the type to do so, make sure you take along a friend or a native who is good at bargaining. Keep in mind that you will have to book your accommodation in Phuket resorts the likes of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas way ahead of the trip.
The underwater life in Thailand is amazing. Any trip to this city is incomplete without looking at what the underwater views have to offer. Whether you want to learn to dive here or just upgrade your already existing diving skills this place offers a lot of opportunities to do either. Known to be one of the best diving destinations in the world Thailand has many amazing courses in which you will be taught the art of learning to dive like a pro. You can also get your certification here while on vacation, there are many diving schools in Phuket that take in all sorts of divers, even the most amateur ones.
