Phuket Must Do
Having spent many weeks on the beautiful island, these are some of my favorite things to see, stay and eat!
Map
Places to Stay
My airbnb is located here - 20 minutes walk to one of the best beaches! Kata Beach!
Close to the action in Patong but not in the center of it. I've stayed here for many weeks over the last few years and it's always excellent!
Very comfortable hotel up on the hill in Phuket. Nice buffet breakfast, good gym
Great little hotel in Phuket - fantastic pool and comfortable rooms
A floating beach club in the crystal waters of Phuket?? Yes, please!
Things to Do
Leave your wishes here!
Around dinner time they are very active!
Great place to learn about how these elephants are living out their best lives. You can feed and clean them too
Best view on the island - can see 3 different beaches from up here!
Biggest temples in Phuket - monastery on site. Amazing to see all of the different buddhas
Must have day trip! Spend the day visiting some of the islands/beaches that are the location of some famous films including… “The Beach”
Modern little section of town with many trendy restaurants and shops to discover. Night market on Friday nights
The most famous of the night markets in Phuket - head here on a Saturday or Sunday night
Discover the art and food culture in this location - night market happening Sunday nights. Tons of great street food to discover here!
Really nice place to eat and learn about the different spirits made here!
The evening show they put on here is incredible! The dancers and the elephants put on quite a show. Worth checking out.
This is the best drag show I have ever seen! From Madonna to Cher - the talent and beauty is the best on the island. You are sure to have a great time!
The biggest weekend market on the island - get all of your souvenirs here and snack on some delish local delights.
This is the best shopping center on the island. There is Central Festival and Central Flores which are connected and have all the shops you would expect to see from Zara, H&M to LV and Dior… the list goes on
Amazing day trip that I highly recommend - see where they filmed the James Bond Movie!
Places to Eat & Drink
Great for afternoon drinks or rowdy evenings
Best sunset dinner views!
Right on the water, the freshest seafood and local delights. Been around over 50 years so you know it's good!
100% Vegan, amazing local delights. Located up in the trees, looking out over the sea.
The exterior is more run down than in the photos but the interior is a proper English Pub where you can find the English owners (who live onsite), on a regular basis. If you are looking to build a community here on the island, this should be your go to. Wish I had found this place a while ago.
I can not believe I didn't find this place sooner! Looked near the Karon lookout, this chic bar/restaurant is the perfect place to grab a cocktail and watch one of Phuket's stunning sunsets.
Places to Chill
Stayed many times. If you are looking for a detox to get back in shape, this is the place!
Right in Patong - hang here during the day - great food, great service and right on the beach in the middle of the action
Great beach club in Karon, super chill
Great afternoon brunch vibes with DJ's
