GOOD TO KNOW Phuket is very popular and can face all the problems usually encountered by a mass tourist destination. Modern infrastructure, excellent healthcare and top-notch facilities combine to make this place easy for travellers. that you could be active non-stop – you could on the other hand also take the time to simply relax and do nothing much at all. If you can tear yourself away from the sea at some point there is also much to be discovered inland and even on this very touristy island it is possibly to find some very tranquil and little-visited spots in the unspoiled rainforest region of the National Park and other parts of the interior of the island. These spots will allow you to see a different side to the island, away from the crowds and to get to know some of the island’s native non-human inhabitants and see the people who are doing what they can to help them and to preserve the fragile environment. There is far more to Phuket than the busy tourist beaches and so though some people will just blaze on through Phuket on their way to other popular Thai islands, this is a shame as they will miss out on a lot of the mystery, beauty and nuance of this large island. So if you want sun and sea but still want something more in addition then Phuket could be a good choice. It also does make a good base to explore the whole of this southern part of Thailand, with a good transport infrastructure that will easily take you to wherever else you want to go.
