Phuket in southern Thailand offers a diversity of vacation and holiday related themes and availability for rather moderate prices. This pricing spectrum covers a wide range, there are cheap Phuket hotels and luxury Phuket resorts and hotels. The same is for restaurants, villas, Phuket beach bungalows, Phuket nightlife and so on and it wont end there. Several Asia low cost airlines operate flights Phuket for very moderate prices, notable Tiger Airways from Singapore and Air Asia within south east Asia plus several low cost airlines in Thailand such as Nok Air. The National Flag Carrier Thai Airways International sometimes can match prices of the other airlines but Thai Airways usually are bureaucrats who lost the touch to the time, they are only reasonable when you book a international flight to Thailand and add a flight to Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Trang, Hat Yai and elsewhere as an extension to the international sector.

About 100 km to the north of the island is one of the best diving destinations in the world, that’s around the Similan islands close to Khao Lak. Sightseeing and day trip options around Phuket are plenty including the Phang Nga Bay to the east where they made several great movies, among them a James Bond movie (on the now called James Bond Island) and Phi Phi Island further south in Krabi Province where they shot “The Beach” with Leonardo di Caprio on famous Maya Beach. The Phi Phi Islands are easily accessible from Rasada Pier in Phuket Town via several ferries every day at 8am. The island is a genuine

beach destination where everyone can find just the right beach.
