Familiarise yourself with Phuket's most energetic beach — swim, sunbathe or rent a beach lounger; lifeguards often on duty 8:00am–6:00pm in high season.
Full-day speedboat trip to Phi Phi islands for Maya Bay (when open), snorkeling at Viking Cave and Loh Samah; depart around 7:00–8:00am and return late afternoon.
If you prefer a sunset dinner, La Gritta (Kata/Patong options) offers sea views and Italian–Mediterranean food; otherwise enjoy seaside seafood in Patong.
Day tour to James Bond Island, sea caves and hidden lagoons with sea-kayaking in sea caves (check-in 30 min before departure); tours typically run 8:30am–5:00pm.
Choose a cultural-glamour evening: Simon Cabaret typically has shows at ~6:30pm and 9:00pm (check schedules), Phuket Fantasea runs large cultural shows and is open in evenings (book in advance).
Certified divers should have quick breakfast; dive centres start pick-ups 6:30–7:30am for two-tank dives at popular sites (e.g., Racha Noi, Shark Point, Anemone Reef).
Full-day 2-tank dive with island transfer; expect boat departure around 8:00am and return mid-to-late afternoon. Great chance to see reef fish, turtles and soft corals.
Return to Patong for a more lively night — bars, go-go bars and live music run late. Check individual venue closing times; many stay open past midnight.
