Talking about Thailand of course we’re not forget the single island of phuket, it is an island located in the southeastern part of Thailand, the name is derived from the malay ' the hill ' because few form are hill contour. As an island, it has several beaches on the west side facing the Andaman sea with the most famous beaches such as patong beach, kamala beach, karon beach, and kata beach.
The down town is called Phuket Town, it became a residence of local residents, while tourists mostly choosing to stay around the beach.
Transport for tourists is quite limited, but if you have a motorbike driver's license then you can rent motorbike daily. Whereas if the groups of available taxis, tuk-tuk with a rate of 200 Baht for a one way ride far or near patong area. Most of us just simply walk away to the beach or for foraging.

The main purpose of tourists got to phuket is the nautical tourism, ranging from mere sunbathing, swimming and water game to water sports. Arguably the scorching heat of phuket that highly preferred by tourists from europe who are hungry for the sun.
Phuket has some of the beach with different characteristics, there are choppy, there are white sandy, but there is a rough and fine sand as soft as flour. If you had more day, take some time to try out each of the existing beach with a motorbike which can be rented about 100 baht per day.
Patong Beach
A sloping beach with good waves, patong beach is a place that should be visited if you are in Phuket. The atmosphere is like kuta beach in bali, but there are no traders and wandering masseur, making us able to calm and free here. Security also seems assured, I can put my bag on the beach without a care while I am free to swim alone. Dozens of hotels line the side of the beach and its surroundings make this area very crowded with tourists and activity.

Kamala Beach
If you want a beach atmosphere but the more lonely, please take the road towards the north of patong beach (they should ride a tuk-tuk because quite far from patong beach). Kamala Beach has not been so developed, not many hotels that are on the side of the beach, and also this is not along the coastline of patong.

Bang La Road
This road is the heart of phuket. Daytime is just an ordinary street yet so the sun began to set, the street is closed to vehicles, woke up and became a center of night life. The road 500-meter serves a shop right in the left, souvenir also pubs and go-go bars.
Down a set of bar with scantily clad dancers that pool might be appropriate for the men. Invite a friend who has a super eye that is able to distinguish between the original and the woman knockoff, it turns out they are all ladyboy, so beware don't be tempted. But you could just sit enjoying music and beer. A bottle of heineken beer in the bar cost you 100-150 baht.

Island Safari Phuket
Island Safari is the place to enjoy the attractions of animals ranging from elephant, monkey, cow, and chickens bangkok race. The location is quite far from patong, you should rent a car or taxi to get here.
The main attraction is the elephant ride, where you ride on an elephant and enjoy a tour around 30 minutes. Your body will be shaking because of an elephant moving unevenly.
In addition we can watch live entertainment animals such as elephant, monkey, or riding in the chariot and pulled by two buffalo. It's like a regular gig but in thailand it successfully packaged and sold to foreign tourists who have never felt the atmosphere of the village.

The Big Buddha
At the highest point of the Hill Phuket Island built an area for worship for Buddhists, with a giant white Buddha statue was erected in a sitting position. This Buddha image is easily can seen as you come from the ferry pier. To go here at least you need to rent a car or taxi due to travel far enough.
This area is still under construction, but we can climb up to the base of the holder. We could give a donation in the form of money, which will be shaped like a stone plate that will be affixed to the under construction or you can also donate by purchasing a souvenir.
