Here are few very good reasons why you really need to book your place and visit Phuket. An earthly paradise Phuket – the Pearl of the Andaman, is Thailand's largest island. With rainforested mountains, dramatic coastlines, wide pearly beaches and crystal clear waters, coupled with a tropical climate, it is easy to see why this has become a must-visit destination for travellers. Time to unwind Phuket has a wonderful 'no worries' attitude which is catching! It is a place for embracing beach life, taking it easy and forgetting the stresses of everyday life. With over 30 pristine beaches to choose from, spend your free time lazing in the sun with a cold drink in hand. Phuket Old Town Venture to Phuket Old Town for a blast of culture, colour and personality. Built on the riches of last century's tin boom, the town is characterised by the grandiose and colourful Sino-Portuguese architecture, and is home to shrines, temples, beautifully preserved 'shophouses', quaint cafés and For the love of food If you love food, you will love Phuket. There are restaurants to suit every taste, serving a huge selection of western and Asian food. While Thai food is world-renowned for its wonderful flavours and fresh ingredients, Phuket is especially famous for its seafood and, you don't have to break the bank to enjoy the most sumptuous of dishes. Temples galore Phuket has 29 Buddhist temples sprinkled across the island, all strikingly beautiful with their bright gold and red colours and ornate spires. Wat Chalong is Phuket's most famous temple and with its three dozen carved Buddhas, stone serpent banisters and lotus ponds, is the gold-topped temple to see. Big Buddha This 45m-high alabaster Buddha, which smiles over southern Phuket, is one of the island’s newest and most revered attractions. It is an incredibly peaceful spot with jaw-dropping views of Phuket’s southern coast and the Andaman Sea. Easily reached, this is another must-visit destination. Interested? Feeling tempted?
