Best things to do in Phuket?

Question

Im taking my girlfriend to Phuket in a few weeks, what are the best things to do while there?? We like snorkelling and would like to try diving, what are the best spots for this? Also would like to go to a shooting range over there. Where are the cheapest places to go shopping for designer (fake) shorts, sunglasses DVD,s etc etc and how much do they cost??

Answer 1

anything on the beach

Answer 2

Dont go to Phi Phi Islans by a big cruiser....hire a small speed boat...and it will take u small islands.

Crusier doesnt fit between those small islands and its not worth going to phi phi by a cruiser.

Pearl farming in Racha yai islands.

James Bond Island and snorkelling.

Full day in Karon or Patong beach.

Go to Fantasea Show u and ur gf can dress up like the thai king and queen and take a photo.

Enjoy urself.

Answer 3

Lol.... Do you pronounce it "f*ck-it"? Just wondering sorry lmao.

Answer 4

There are some snorkelling trips but you can do a beginners dive in open water which I would highly recommend. Check out any of the dive shops in Patong or Kata Beach. The white water rafting day trip is great and includes an elephant ride and show. You can also do a canoe trip in caves which I know that you will enjoy. You can book all these tours when you get there very easily. There is a shooting range not far from Patong but I have never been there.

Board shorts cost 250TB

T-shirts 150TB

DVDS 50TB or less if you buy many. Ask them about the quality, they are usually pretty honest

Sunglasses 200TB

Remember that you have to barter to get these prices

Answer 5

Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand, and there are several excellent beaches. The waters are usually clear and very good for diving. As long as you avoid the usually crowded Patong and Karon beaches on the west coast, you can easily find remote beaches for walking, jogging, or just relaxing. There are not many sights to speak of on the island, but perhaps that makes it all so relaxed.

Two of the main attractions near Phuket are the Phi Phi Islands and the Phang Nga Bay, with the so-called James Bond Island. The name comes from The Bond film "Man with The Golden Gun" which was partly filmed on this small island. There is a good choice of organized day trips from Phuket to both the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay.

Ocean activities are the biggest draw for tourists in Phuket. Courses and equipment are available at most major beaches for scuba diving, Scuba diving as well as snorkeling in the lagoons with coral reefs. You can find plenty of good dive sites all around Phuket (shark point, anemone reef, etc.) but there are some world class dive sites you don’t want to miss for any reason. You can join a 5 days live aboard to the Similan Islands , a natural reserve where you can spot wales sharks and manta rays. There is also the number one spot in the Andaman sea, Hin Daeng , situated just few hours of speed boat from Phuket. It is important to notice than coral reefs were left mostly untouched by the 2004 tsunami.

You can rent wind surfboards, dinghies, canoes and yachts from many locations for those interested in boating. For a more colorful adventure you can explore the limestone caverns of Phang Nga Bay on guided tours in inflatable canoes.

While scuba diving is probably one of the most popular activities in Phuket, the island also offers many opportunities for more land-oriented outdoor activities such as mountain biking through the western range of the island. Guided horseback tours are also a relaxing way to go sightseeing. Phuket also has a few beautiful golf courses that were built on the remains of the tin mines that first brought industry to the island.

Those interested in an exciting local spectator sport might enjoy checking out the Thai boxing , or "Muay Thai", at Saphan Hin stadium in Phuket Town.  Boxers strike blows at and with every part of their bodies, making this a very thrilling spectator event.

Answer 7

The tourists are spoilt for choice as there is so much that Phuket has to offer. The activities range from Big Game Fishing which is a world class fishing game held in Phuket. Phuket is also famous for swimming, sailing, diving, snorkeling, rock climbing, horse riding, seakayaking, canoeing, jungle and elephant trekking, the famous Thai boxing, biking and running Phuket has it all. Thus all sports freak can pamper themselves as much as they want to in the island.

Answer 8

Snorkeling!!!

Answer 9

One of the best things i did while i was there was the phi phi island tour. They take you over there to see it all and you go snorkeling in this awesome reef. It's a really fun day to do that.

In phuket the markets are everywhere really so theres no certain place that i would say are the cheapest. Prices vary because you have to look around and haggle the prices. At first they try and rip you off big time so dont take the first price they ask for. (only at markets not at actual shops)

Elephant riding was also fun.

Theres also a show called "Fantasea" and its really good , definately something id recomend to see.

You can ask at your hotel about tours and stuff, and they have it organised and you get picked up and everything for it.

Just a few things I did while there :)
