Destinations
Where to go in Phuket, Phang Nga and the Andaman coast. Each page is the local view from Angel Phuket Tours — what's worth your time, when, and how it fits into a day.
- Phuket Old Town
The historic Sino-Portuguese heart of Phuket — pastel shophouses, Hokkien-Chinese shrines, street art and the island's best coffee scene.
- Big Buddha (Phra Phutta Ming Mongkol)
Phuket's 45-metre marble Buddha on Nakkerd Hill — the island's most prominent landmark, with a 360° view across Chalong Bay.
- Wat Chalong
The most important Buddhist temple in Phuket — gold-leaf chedi, ornate viharn and the relic of Luang Pho Chaem, the temple's revered abbot.
- Promthep Cape
The southernmost headland of Phuket and the island's most famous sunset viewpoint, with views across the Andaman to Koh Kaeo and beyond.
- Kata / Karon Viewpoint
Also known as Three Beaches Viewpoint — a clifftop layby on the road south of Karon with one of the most photographed views in Phuket.
- Phang Nga Bay
A bay of vertical limestone karsts north-east of Phuket — home to James Bond Island, sea caves, hidden lagoons and the stilted Muslim village of Koh Panyee.
- Phi Phi Islands
Two limestone islands south-east of Phuket — Phi Phi Don (the inhabited one) and Phi Phi Leh, home to Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon.
- Coral Island (Koh Hae)
A small island 15 minutes off Phuket's south coast — clear water, soft sand, the easiest island day if time is short.
- Racha Island (Koh Racha Yai)
A quieter island south of Phuket with some of the best snorkelling water within easy reach of the main beaches.
