PHUKET
VIEW OF THE BAY
Though this spot isn’t exactly in Phuket, it’s certainly worth travelling a little
for the mind-blowing views.
After an easy 30-kilometre drive over the Sarasin Bridge, travellers can
park their vehicle and hop on a 4x4 truck for a crawl up the steep hill. At the
peak, you find the Samet Nangchi viewpoint, which offers an unobstructed
panorama of Phang Nga Bay, dotted with sheer karst limestone cliffs jutting
from the water at crazy angles and standing tall like sentinels. Though the spot
boasts breath-taking views any time of the day, it’s worth getting there at sunrise
or sunset to see the sky awash with orange, yellow and blue.

If Anantara Layan’s spectacular
location, five-star pampering
and lustrous reputation aren’t
enough to woo you, then maybe
its newest restaurant will.
“Age” takes diners on
a culinary odyssey with
exquisite cuts of meat and
tasty locally caught seafood
paired with fine wines. If it’s
a spectacular Phuket sunset
you’re after, you’ll find that
the restaurant’s terrace offers
a panoramic view, along with
an extensive menu of classic
and contemporary cocktails
made from a vast variety of
ingredients. 168 Moo 6, Layan

STREET PARTY
Looking for a party?
Get yourself down to Bangla
Road in Patong, which never
disappoints.
In broad daylight, it’s just
another thoroughfare, but at night
barriers against cars go up and
inhibitions go down.
The 350-metre long street
is packed with bars, pubs and
nightclubs of all varieties, ranging
from simple watering holes to glitzy
nightclubs sporting internationally
known music acts on their marquee.
There are also the usual street
hawkers peddling everything from
tin toys to stuff that’s likely illegal.
The street is great for a
wander with the family or for
settling down with a drink for an
entertaining night.
