Phuket Phuket

Blessed with some of the most extraordinary beaches in the world, the island of Phuket is a paradise destination caressed by the warm tides of the Andaman Sea. Beneath those crystalline blue waters, tropical fish swim among a dazzling array of corals, providing an ideal setting for scuba diving. Further inland, the enchanting historic streets of Old Phuket Town offer a glimpse into the island's past, bringing visitors back to a time when Chinese tin miners ventured here to make their fortunes. Beautiful boutiques and cafes are housed within authentic Sino-Portuguese style structures, providing a civilized interlude before the sandy white stretches of palm fringed coastline beckon once again.
