Eight must see attractions in Phuket

Phuket has become the first choice for Chinese people to travel abroad in the past two years. Of course, the scenery on this island is also particularly beautiful. Otherwise, it will not attract tourists from all over the world to visit Phuket. So, what are the recommended punch in attractions on Phuket? Which is more beautiful?

1. Chalong Temple

Chalong temple is the most popular temple in southern Thailand. More locals come here than tourists! Devout believers make or repay vows to the three eminent monks in the main hall. One way is to stick gold foil on the stone statues of the eminent monks. The real body wax museum next to the main hall is not impressive and few tourists will notice it, but there are the real bodies of three eminent monks! If the wax museum is open by chance, you can go in and have a look.

Another must go building is the towering pagoda, which has three floors. When you climb the pagoda, you can overlook the whole Chalong temple with a wide view. The third floor of the pagoda is dedicated to very precious relics. Many people can also be seen here to worship piously.

Tips: if you need to enter the temple (main hall, wax museum, pagoda), you need to wear a sleeved non perspective upper garment and a lower garment with a length below the knee, and you must take off your shoes. If the dress does not meet the requirements, there is a shawl at the entrance of the pagoda, which can be used by tourists for free, covering their legs or arms. If you want to have an in-depth experience, you can also offer 20 baht of 'incense money' in exchange for a lotus and put it in front of the stone statues of the three eminent monks in the main hall.

2. Fairy Peninsula

Shenxian Peninsula byyvette

This is the most famous sunset point in Phuket, but it doesn't have to come at sunset. At sunset, there are many people and cars here, but the bustling crowd and noise reduce points. During the day, there are few people in Shenxian peninsula. Standing under tall palm trees and looking at the coastline, the sea breeze is blowing, which is more comfortable.

How do I get to Shenxian Peninsula

Recommendation: it is recommended to add this point to the Charter trip, and the tour time can be reserved for 30 minutes.

Recommendation: book a half day tour around the island by carpooling. Not only the immortal Peninsula, Chalong temple and Phuket Town take the scenic spots at one time during the trip. The carpooling price is 99 yuan, which is much more affordable than chartering.

3. Peak Buddha

Although this is a huge building that has not been completed for many years, it does not prevent tourists from going to the Giant Buddha on the top of the mountain and overlooking the whole sea view in the south of Phuket Island! The bottom of the Giant Buddha is still under construction, but the photos are still very bold. It's very difficult for drivers to go to the top of the mountain if it doesn't rain. If it doesn't rain, it's a steep road. It's very difficult for drivers to go there.

Recommendation: it is recommended to add this point to the Charter trip, and the tour time can be reserved for 30 minutes.

4. Old block of Phuket Town

It is highly recommended to spend more than half a day in the old town of Phuket. Although the block is small, it is very delicious. There are not only Portuguese buildings, but also Chinese arcades with southern style. The colorful houses in the corners and alleys make people feel like they are in the colorful streets of little India. The famous Thalang road and SOI rommani are all streets worth visiting. Many new people will take wedding photos along the road.

How do I get to the old block of Phuket Town

Recommendation: economical route: take panda bus to the central department store in Phuket Town, and then take bus from the central department store. Panda bus 20 yuan, plus 15 baht ticket. But no one on the bus can speak English. You need to inform the conductor of the location in advance. You can also take a taxi from the central department store, 300 baht.

Recommendation: convenient route: charter a car to get there. The driver can stop at Thalang road and start sightseeing. Reserve 30 minutes to 1 hour. If you are not in a hurry, it is recommended to stroll slowly.

Recommendation: rent a motorcycle. There are many places where you can rent a motorcycle. You can experience the local customs. However, the driving direction in Thailand is opposite to that in China, and the roads in Phuket Street are crisscross and narrow, which is easy to get lost. Therefore, only friends who are very confident in their own motorcycle technology are recommended to try.

5. Ravi seafood market

It's very busy here in the morning. Fishermen come here to sell fresh seafood just salvaged. Compared with the seafood on Phuket Island, it's not chilled but alive. The price can't be said to be cheap, but seafood is fresh. Remember to bargain. If you buy it, you can go to the restaurants opposite the seafood stall for cooking and processing. Buy it right away and eat it right away!

Recommendation: add this point to the Charter trip. If you eat here, it's enough to reserve one and a half hours.

Not recommended: take a taxi by yourself. It costs 700 baht one way from padong to Rawai seafood market, and it is very difficult to take a taxi back. Drivers in places with few taxis usually start from the ground.

6. Karen observation deck

Although the name is Karen Observatory, it is located on the hill near Kata Beach. Standing on the Karen observation platform, you can see the panoramic view of the coastline of kata and Karen beaches. If the weather is good, you can take large movies. This is also the clock in point for many foreign tourists. There is no need for formal photos here. You can take a special group photo with the coastline.

7. Karen Beach

The busiest beach in Phuket is padong, and the second busiest is Karen beach. Many Russian tourists like to live in Karen. If they don't want Thai food, there are a lot of Western food to try. There is the longest beach in Phuket. It takes at least 40 minutes to walk from south to north. Karen beach is not only long, but also the largest wave, so you can see a lot of blonde beauties surfing or sunbathing here!

8. Kata Beach

The sand of Kata Beach is thinner than that of Patong and Karen, and there are fewer tourists on the beach than that of Patong Karen. It is especially recommended to come here in the evening and step on the soft and delicate beach to share the sunset and sunset with tourists all over the world. The southernmost part of the big Kata is a bar under a big tree. Sitting on the stone pier and drinking a beer, you should be comfortable on vacation, that is, you should be casual and happy!
