Thailand's largest island province, Phuket, constitutes the main tourist accommodation focus in the south. Home to many splendid Thailand beaches, Phuket is the idyllic vacation spot you've always dreamed of going to do absolutely nothing, in absolute luxury!

Phuket’s tourism industry owes a lot to the exceptional topology of this place – with 70 percent of its area covered with mountains which stretch from north to south and the remaining 30 percent being plains located in the central and eastern parts of the island.

This polished pearl of the Andaman is truly a destination that provides visitors with memorable experiences.

Although the bay has a stunning setting and relaxing ambience, swimming is not recommended here.

Phuket Aquarium
