Places to visit close to Phuket

If you are coming to Phuket, no need to limit yourself to the confines of the island. Within a couple of hours drive or boat ride are some amazing places. Phuket has many beautiful areas, but just off the island are the amazing limestone carsts of Phang Nga and Phi Phi, and the huge Khao Sok National Park. Explore!



• Khao Sok National Park
• Phang Nga Bay
• Wat Suwan Kuha (Phang Nga) - temple in a cave with a big reclining Buddha and lots of monkeys!
• Day Trip to Phi Phi Islands
• Seaplane flight to Phi Phi
• Prachuap Khiri Khan (actually not that close but could be visited on a long weekend)
• Similan Islands - best diving in Thailand!



To come - Khao Lak, Krabi and more - if I have time and money for a holiday! Phuket is a great starting point for all kinds of trips. A great base for exploring this part of Thailand.
