Thai Beach Holiday in Phuket
Thailand’s largest island, Phuket has been a prosperous region since the nineteenth century, when Chinese merchants got in on its tin-mining and sea-borne trade, before turning to the rubber industry. It remains the wealthiest province in Thailand, with the highest per-capita income, but mints the money these days in tourism, with an influx of visitors that top 5 million.
The busiest and most popular of all Phuket’s beaches, Patong immediately feels overdeveloped and hard to recommend. A congestion of high-rise hotels, tour agents and souvenir shops disfigures the beachfront road, tireless and tiresome touts are everywhere, and hostess bars and strip joints dominate the seedy nightlife.
Local Phuket Tours

- Phi Phi Sunrise by Simba Sea Trips: On this tour, take a small speedboat to see the well-known sites and secluded spots where you can take in the islands’ natural beauty.
- Phuket Best Half Day City Tour: Visit fascinating view points around Phuket, observe Siam architecture, experience the culture and try Phuketian local food.

Amari Phuket Resort
Fret not! If you’re keen to holiday in Patong and want to keep an arms length from the chaos, Amari Phuket has everything you need.
The friendly Thai luxury hotel occupies its own secluded beachfront on a headland at the southernmost end of the bay. The contrasting calm and lushness of the resort becomes apparent as guests make their way along the driveway, passing trees standing tall along the hillside all the way to the open-air lobby.
The dramatic chandelier handcrafted from locally sourced rattan is inspired by birds’ nest, paying homage to the fact that Phuket island is a prime stopover point for migratory birds.
