Being Thailand's largest island, Phuket offers plenty of interesting things to see and do during your summer vacation. Those who wish to make their holiday extraordinary can explore some of its scenic islands. Here are a few suggestions to make your itinerary a memorable one.
It is always a soothing experience to embrace the serenity of an island. Located between the two provinces named, Krabi and Phuket, Koh Phi Phi has been a top pick among many leisure travellers across the world. Keep in mind: this small island does not have any roads or cars! Even though the island has a reputation for parties and night functions, you will have plenty of things to see and discover. For instance, Maya Bay is an important highlight you should not miss especially for its beautiful natural sights. The sandy beaches and limestone cliffs will remind you of the Hollywood blockbuster, 'The Beach'. If you are in search of Phuket real estates for sale, you will find many options such as Avadina Hills by Anantara from where you can plan a memorable island adventure to Koh Phi Phi and other surrounding islands.
The name of this island will certainly prompt you to make a visit! It is just a 90-minute ferry ride from Phuket to this mesmeric island paradise. Located in Phang Nga province, this island attracts tourists for its breathtaking highlights.
