Phuket Island: Thailand's Pearl of the Andaman

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, offers a blend of stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife and rich cultural heritage. This tropical paradise in the Andaman Sea attracts visitors with its crystal-clear waters perfect for diving and snorkelling. Patong Beach is known for its energetic atmosphere, while quieter spots like Kata and Karon beaches provide more relaxed settings. The island's Old Town charms with its Sino-Portuguese architecture, colourful markets and Buddhist temples. Big Buddha, a 45-metre tall marble statue, offers panoramic views across the island. The annual Vegetarian Festival, typically held in September or October, sees devotees perform remarkable acts of faith. Loy Krathong, the Festival of Lights, illuminates the island each November. From Phuket's main port, ferries connect to nearby destinations including Phi Phi Islands, Krabi and even Malaysia, making it an ideal base for exploring the region's coastal treasures.

Koh Samui: Thailand's Tropical Island Paradise

Koh Samui, Thailand's second-largest island, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern amenities. The island is known for its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush mountainous rainforest. Visitors can explore the iconic 12-metre tall Big Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai or visit the stunning Na Muang waterfalls. Chaweng Beach attracts tourists with its vibrant nightlife and shopping, while Lamai Beach offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Every April, the island celebrates Songkran (Thai New Year) with water fights and traditional ceremonies, and in October, hosts the colourful Loy Krathong festival. Koh Samui is mainly accessible by ferry from the mainland port of Donsak. Once on the island, travellers can easily take boats to nearby destinations like Koh Phangan, famous for its Full Moon Parties, or Koh Tao, known for its excellent diving spots. The island serves as a great base for exploring Thailand's beautiful Gulf islands.
