Patong Beach, located on the central west coast of the island, is the most popular beach in Phuket and is a hotspot for nightlife. Known for its beautiful sands and clear sea, it is also a perfect spot for water sports such as jet-skiing and parasailing. If you are interested in witnessing spectacular views of Phuket, take the popular cable car ride to the top of Patong Hill.
The 45-meter tall 'Big Buddha' statue is one of the most famous landmarks on the island and offers stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Located atop of Nakkerd Hills, it is an ideal location for photography and relaxation. Unwind here, take in the beautiful scenic beauty, and immerse yourself in the peaceful nature.
If you have an extra day, head over to Phang Nga Bay's James Bond Island, which houses iconic limestone cliffs that seemingly rise straight from the emerald-green sea. You can rent a longtail boat to tour around the bay for around INR 4000.
For food enthusiasts, visit the local night market located within walking distance from Patong Beach in the evening. Expect to find authentic Thai street food at affordable prices.
