When is the best time to visit? Looking to escape the British winters? Then Phuket is your ticket. Between November and the end of April, it gets gradually warmer in Thailand. In the hottest months, temperatures can soar to 34˚C, but cool breezes tend to keep things comfortable, making it the perfect faraway destination for some winter sunshine.
Where is the best place to stay in Phuket? There are plenty of resorts to entertain you on Thailand’s largest island. For families and couples who want a classic Thai beach retreat, Kata and Karon Beach are the places to be. If you’re looking for nightlife with a lively atmosphere all day long, Patong is a resort packed with fantastic restaurants and a multitude of shops, malls, cinemas, shows, and entertainment.
Worlds away from the infamous nightlife of Patong, Phuket Town is ideal for culture and history enthusiasts who want to explore the local heritage.

Big Buddha & James Bond
Phuket boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, each with its own unique charm. But perhaps the most famous is located on James Bond Island. Made popular by Roger Moore’s rendition of 007’s The Man with The Golden Gun, glide through towering limestone cliffs and warm turquoise oceans of Phang Nga Bay before reaching a paradise from the big screen. Everywhere has its unique lineup of iconic landmarks and in Phuket there is one more to add to your bucket list- Big Buddha. Soaring 45 metres into the clouds, the white marble depiction of the religious figurehead is an iconic beauty that should be seen by all who visit the island.
