1. Tour Phuket with Your Own Private Car and Driver

And with private transportation, you can visit any part of the island at any time.

  • Wat Chalong: A favorite destination for sightseers and religious scholars alike, Wat Chalong is considered a sacred place of worship with its own healing energy.
  • Patong Beach: Phuket’s best-known nightlife center is vibrant and colorful, with upscale nightclubs and bars.
  • Kamala Beach: Considered as one of the more upscale alternatives to Patong, Kamala Beach is home to elegant beach clubs and a lively fine-dining scene.

2. Go Island Hopping with Your Own Chartered Luxury Yacht

Phuket is a beautiful place in itself, but for anyone curious about the wonders just offshore, there are plenty of ways to access the surrounding islands. By far the most luxurious option is a privately chartered luxury yacht. Step onboard a true marvel of modern engineering and technology to cruise the waves in style and comfort.

Chief among the offshore attractions are the various satellite islands which are not too far from the coast of Phuket. Some of the more popular destinations include:

  • The Phi Phi Islands: About 45 minutes from Phuket by speedboat, the Phi Phi islands offer a true glimpse into an unspoiled paradise. While a beautiful sight from the sea, anyone who wants to come ashore will be greeted by stunning white sand beaches.
  • Similan Islands: Counted as one of the world’s foremost destinations for diving, the Similan Islands are located about 84 kilometers northwest of Phuket. The islands themselves are composed of nine heavily forested islands with some beautiful beaches along the coast. The area is now a national park of Thailand and one of the most well-known groups of islands in the Andaman Sea.
  • Other beautiful attractions include Phang Nga Bay, Koh Lanta, Rok Nok Island, Koh Racha, and many more.
