The most popular attractions as recommended by NOSTRA Map
- Phromthep Cape, Enjoy the most beautiful scenery of sunset with a backdrop displaying large rocky cape where lines of sugar palm trees stretching out to the blue sea. The Golden Jubilee Lighthouse, one of the interesting historical maritime artifacts and commands spectacular views over the east and southeast of the island and its environs is also located here. It is one of Phuket’s landmarks that cannot be missed.
- Naiharn Beach Nai Harn Beach, one of the best Phuket beaches offers a beautiful white sand beach that slopes gently into the Andaman Sea. This remarkable beach has not really been crowded comparing to the other popular tourist beaches. It is quiet enough for you to enjoy its relaxing atmosphere.
- Karon Viewpoint Karon Viewpoint is one of the most frequent visits in Phuket. From here, it is possible to observe the gorgeous views of Kata Noi, Kata Yai and Karon beaches. Located between Nai Harn and Kata Noi beaches, the viewpoint lays the crescent shaped beach which makes it perfect combination with clear blue sea.
- Karon Beach Karon Beach is the second longest beach in Phuket but the third in beach popularity. Karon offers a very wide stretch of white sand with a decent choice of dining and nightlife, yet it never seems to draw crowds of tourists. The beach is also known to make a fun squishy sound when walking on the sand.
- Patong Beach The delicate white sands of Patong beach, in contrast with the dark green sea, the 9 km in distance of the crescent shaped beach. This place is also known as a little pretty girl of Phuket who is always there to welcome tourists all seasons.
- Phuket Fantasea With the intention and dedication of its founder Pin Kewckacha, who wants to present the precious Thai culture to tourists, Phuket Fantasea was founded with a brainstorming of the greats from Thailand and abroad, combined with advanced technology from Las Vegas. The world’s most spectacular shows take place in Phuket.
- Nai Yang Beach Nai Yang Beach is one of those ‘out of sight’ beaches little known from first time visitors, but very popular with returning travelers. Nice, shaded and full of tiny fun bars and restaurants, Nai Yang remains relatively unknown like most of the northern beaches of Phuket because they are not along the main road. It is part of Sirinat National Park.
- Wat Chaitararam temple Wat Chalong is officially called ‘Wat Chaitararam’ by royal decree but not many people use that name. A statue of Luang Pho Chaem, the highly revered monk in the reign of King Rama V, can be seen in the wat’s main hall. Many Buddhist Thais go there to stick gold leaf to these images as a part of paying respect to the two famed abbots.
- Wat Phra Thong Wat Phra Thong (or Wat Prathong) meaning ‘Golden Buddha Image Temple’ is a very old temple with an incredible legend behind it, the kind of story that irresistibly attracts people. The famous half buried golden Buddha has a long history. During the invasion of Thalang town by the Burmese Army, Burmese soldiers tried to excavate the statue in order to take it back to Burma. But this time they were attacked and bitten by swarms of tiny ants coming from the dug earth.
- Thao Thep Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon’s monument Heroines Monument at the traffic roundabout on Thepkasattri Road in Thalang is no doubt one of the top landmarks on the island. The inspiring story of how brave Lady Chan and Lady Mook who led the locals, of whom many were women, to fight against Burmese intruders and won a battle more than two centuries ago, in the reign of King Rama I, still has a strong impact on the psyche of local islanders.
- Phuket Old Town The small sidewalk that tells the story of the long history through the architecture appears in the beautiful and valuable houses of the unique identity of Phuket.
- Cape Panwa

– Ton Pho noodles From lunch to afternoon meal: this Hokkien noodles shop established 60 years ago is known as an original creator of stir-fried noodle. Here, the charcoal stove is still used for stir-fried noodles, making a yummy smell and taste. Some days, fish menu is available to order Hokkien special fish served in both white and yellow plump noodle for tasting.
– Taewnum Roti Aroon Restaurant Breakfast: a small shop that sells Roti for more than 50 years. The shop has normally been crowded since early morning. Apart from menu for adults such as Roti Curry, there are also butter milk Roti for the children as well. The whole family can enjoy it.
