Phuket is Thailand's largest island and the heart of its Andaman coast — a tropical favourite of long sandy beaches, warm turquoise sea, lush green hills and island-hopping day trips. Beyond the beaches it offers a charming Sino-Portuguese old town, vibrant markets, family resorts and some of Thailand's best food, with halal dining widely available. Its hotels span the lively west-coast beaches and the quieter family bays, from all-inclusive resorts to great-value stays, making it an easy, welcoming holiday island for families.
Where to stay
- Kata & Karon — beautiful, family-friendly west-coast beaches with a relaxed feel, plenty of dining and great resorts; a balanced base for first-time visitors.
- Kamala & Bang Tao — quieter, upscale beaches lined with luxury and family resorts; ideal for a calm, resort-style beach holiday.
- Patong — the central, lively beach with the most shopping, restaurants and energy, and the widest range of hotels; convenient for first-timers who want everything close by.
- Phuket Old Town — the historic, characterful town of colourful Sino-Portuguese streets, cafés, markets and museums, away from the beaches.
When to visit
Phuket's dry, sunny high season runs from November to April, with clear skies and calm seas perfect for the beaches and island trips — the peak, most popular time. The green monsoon season (roughly May to October) brings lush scenery, refreshing afternoon showers and the lowest prices, with plenty of sunshine still between the rains and a quieter, more relaxed feel. March to May is the warmest stretch. Whatever the month, the beaches, resorts and indoor attractions make for an easy holiday.
Getting around
Phuket is a large island, so most visitors get around by ride-hailing apps like Grab, metered taxis and hotel transfers, which are convenient for the beaches and the airport. Colourful local songthaew buses and the Smart Bus connect the west-coast beaches affordably, and tuk-tuks are handy for short hops between beach and town. With attractions spread across the island, a taxi or a private transfer is usually the easiest way to explore.
