Phuket holidays
Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, located in the south-west of the country, is a wonderland of wildlife and rainforest fringed by white sand beaches. Patang is the vibrant heart of the island, known for its nightlife and Phuket’s most popular beach, Hat Patong. For those wishing to escape the lively atmosphere, the coastline offers long stretches of sandy beaches, with the western shoreline being the meeting place of lush green foliage and the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.
