Everything you need to know about Thailand's tropical paradise
Southern Thailand, Andaman Sea
About 500 thousand residents
Tropical, 25-32 degrees

Phuket, the largest island in Thailand, is a tropical paradise combining magical beaches, rich culture and lively nightlife. With an area of about 543 km² and a population of more than 500 thousand residents, the island draws about 12 million travellers a year.
For hundreds of years, Phuket was an important stop on the trade route between India and China. The wealth brought by the tin trade in the 19th century left its mark on the special Sino-Portuguese architecture that can still be seen in the Old Town.
Phuket enjoys tropical weather all year round, with three main seasons that are worth knowing before planning the trip.

| March–May | 28-34°C | 6-8 | 75% | Very hot, we recommend carrying water |
| June–August | 26-32°C | 15-20 | 80% | Short showers, reasonable prices |

Thailand looks simple, until you start connecting it all on your own. Different seasons between regions, distances and transfers, a hotel that looks perfect but is not in the right area, and attractions that are not quite right for who you are. We are here to make it simple and right: to build a smart itinerary, to choose destinations that match your pace and style exactly, and to connect it all precisely — flights, domestic flights, hotels, attractions and transfers — with Hebrew-speaking support, peace of mind and high availability.

Talk to usPhuket is a big island, and the area where you sleep decides what the holiday looks like more than any other decision. Each area here has its own character, and what the site already has on it.
The most central and vibrant area on the island. Here you will find the main beach, most of the restaurants and shops, and most of Phuket's nightlife.
Patong BeachFour Points by Sheraton PhuketMövenpick Myth Hotel Patong PhuketTransfer to the area
South of Patong, on a long beach with white sand. Lively enough that there is something to do in the evening, calm enough to sleep.
The continuation of the strip southwards, with a quieter, more family atmosphere. A beach that also suits surfing and snorkelling.
North of Patong, a calm beach bay with hotels overlooking it. Less traffic and less of a strip than in the centre.
A smaller, more upmarket beach area in the north-west of the island, with no entertainment centre of its own. Suits couples looking for quiet.
A long stretch of beach in the north-west, home to large resorts with plenty of space. The choice for anyone who wants the hotel itself to be part of the holiday.
The northern part of the west coast, the least built-up of all the island's areas. A long, open beach with very little around it.
A bay at the southern tip of Phuket, one of the quietest on the island. A more local atmosphere, and no tourist strip.
At the southern tip, on the eastern side. Less a swimming beach and more a residential and fishing area, with restaurants facing the sea.
A bay in the south-east of the island used as a departure point for cruises, not an area you come to for the beach.

A cape in the south-east of the island, few hotels and a lot of quiet. Not a through area — you come here on purpose.
The centre of the island and not a beach. The Old Town preserved its Sino-Portuguese architecture from the tin trading era, and Phuket's markets are here too.
How a Thai dish is built, and how to order it properly.
How to pick the island that suits you, and why cramming in three is a mistake.
What to see, how to dress, and how not to wear yourselves out.
Market, mall or duty free — and how to haggle without being unpleasant.
Night markets, the old city market and the malls — and when each one is best.
