Holidays in the city of Phuket
Phuket and its surrounding islands are some of the most beautiful and intriguing in the world. Tall outcrops of limestone rise vertically from the sea, and probably the most famous of these was used as a location for one of the James Bond films. It's now known as "James Bond Island", but its real name is Phang-nga.
Set just off the west coast of Thailand, in the Andaman Sea, Phuket is about the same size as Singapore. The main town is Phuket Town, but many visitors stay in the beach resorts of Surin, Katu,

Karon and the most famous (and busy) Patong. To get from Phuket to Patong takes about 20 minutes. Phuket Town has all the administration offices, bigger business hotels and department stores, whilst the beach resorts cater more to the holiday maker. However, excursions to the islands off Phuket go from the port at Phuket Town.

Elephant Trekking in Phuket
Elephant treks out in the jungle. Take some mosquito protection or a cream to avert the various flying insects, many of whom enjoy taking a nip at a passing human.

Public transport in Phuket
The most widely used ‘taxis' are bright red tuk tuks. These are not the four seater variety as in Bangkok but hold about 6 - 8 people. Unlike the meter taxi, arrange a price before getting in. Prices range from 50 baht upwards, depending on how good you are at bartering.

There are public buses, which are bright blue, with open sides. There aren't any real schedules, but if you see one and want to get on, just wave.
