Why Phuket

  • Major international airport with cheap flights from across Asia
  • Gateway to Phi Phi Islands, Similan Islands, and the Andaman coast
  • Patong Beach's famous nightlife scene (Bangla Road)

Thailand's largest island and one of its most famous beach destinations. Phuket is more developed and expensive than most Thai backpacker spots, but its international airport, diverse beaches, and proximity to the Phi Phi Islands make it a common stop on the southern backpacking trail. Patong Beach is the party and nightlife centre, while quieter areas like Kata, Kamala, and Phuket Old Town offer better value and more local character.
