Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Historic district
Old Phuket Town
Old Phuket Town preserves boutique houses and facades related to the island's trade. Streets travel from public spaces; not all inhabited buildings are open to the visit.
Temple
Wat Chalong
Wat Chalong gathers religious buildings and a large chedi in the south of Phuket. Respect ceremonies, rules of dress and open spaces.
Headland
Promthep Cape
Promthep Cape is a headland in southern Phuket. Views and light depend on weather; stay on authorised paths without descending towards exposed rocks.
Beach
Kata Beach
Kata is a beach on the western coast of Phuket. Waves and currents vary greatly depending on the season; respect flags and bathing instructions.
