It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here are six must-see sites in Phuket, Thailand.
Kaho Phing Kan, more commonly known as James Bond Island, are limestone karst tower islands protruding from Phang Nga Bay. The island became famous after being featured in the 1974 James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun. The most famous of these islets is Ko Ta Pu, which lies between two forest-covered islands with steep shores. © Sergeychernov | Dreamstime.com
Located off the northeastern tip of Phuket, Ko He (or Coral Island) is home to beautiful beaches and the iconic Banana Swing. The island is accessible via a short boat ride, which can be booked via travel agencies or local tour companies. © Mosaymay | Dreamstime.com
Take to the waters at Phang Nga Bay in the Andaman Sea between Phuket and Kra Isthmus. A boat tour in the bay includes views of limestone cliffs with caves, archaeological sites, collapse cave systems, islands and more. © Tania Castán | Dreamstime.com
Phuket Big Buddha is hard to miss, literally. This massive statue sits atop Nakkerd Hill near Chalong at a whopping 148 feet tall. Depicting Gautama, this statue officially debuted in 2014 and has been a landmark in the region ever since. © Narong Niemhom | Dreamstime.com
Book a fishing charter in Phuket with any number of companies to catch an array of fish. Andaman Sea, for instance, is home to big game species like sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna and giant trevally. Phuket is also great for deep-sea fishing. © Narong Niemhom | Dreamstime.com
Enjoy a ride on a traditional long tail boat to get up close to James Bond Island, Monkey Cave, Panyee Island, Talu Cave and more. Tour companies offer in-depth experiences, complete with options to go snorkeling or canoeing, too. © Xin Hua | Dreamstime.com
