Phuket is a really big tourist destination, no question about that. Even if you really can fan beaches where you are almost alone even in Phuket. It is not really the place for one that wants a really unspoiled island.
But it is a really a very nice place to spend your holidays if you just want fantastic weather, nice beaches, friendly people and excellent food and amazing hotels that even a budget traveler can afford – this is the place for you.
I have been there four times now, and I really looking to go back again, as soon as possible. For us Swedes it has become a like a second home these days. Whole families, even with toddlers, comes here, year after year.
It it also a big island, and you can go here with a lot of money to spend, or like a budget traveller.
One very nice thing is shopping, you can shop on the street, like on the photo or go to the shopping town of Patong. There you can find it all, they have an amazing shoppingmall now days, JUNGCEYLON.
But there is acutally so much more to see an Phuket, here is inside Wat Chalong, and it is the most important Buddhist temple on the island.
And here is a photo from outside. Thais come here to be blessed by the monks. But you can also find out your lucky number or get your fortune told.
