Phang Nga Bay is a must see, with jaw-dropping limestone cliffs and flooded caves. Phi Phi Islands are everyone’s second favorite, although they can get a little crowded. The 45-metre-high Big Buddha of Phuket is also on everyone’s bucket list and is not difficult to reach. Walking with elephants to help them escape a life of hard work is the next big thing in Phuket and is rapidly growing in popularity.

Our advice is to only plan a few day trips then once in Phuket, and you can adjust your plan to suit your mood (or the weather). You can book those one time day trips here, they are usually cheaper and can be booked directly from your hotel, on the street or in one of the many travel agencies. We have added information about each item.

Keep in mind that some tours may seem more expensive than others, but those usually offer a better experience: less crowding, better service, and overall a better experience.

With so much to choose from, it can be difficult to fit everything into one vacation. So, to make planning your trip much easier, we have compiled here a list of must-sees in Phuket in order of popularity. Some of them are on the island itself, some are around the island, but easily accessible in one day.
