Pure white sands, aquamarine waters and limestone cliffs await travelers who visit Thailand's southwestern island of Phuket. Surrounded by the Andaman Sea and about an hour by plane from Bangkok, this island may be a little piece of paradise, which comes with a comparatively low tag for everything from its accommodations to spa treatments and boat tours.

But along side its tropical appeal, Phuket beckons to travelers eager to experience its flavorful cuisine (think: lemongrass, lime leaves, chillies) and its rich culture, heavily influenced by its reigning religion: Buddhism.

And although the island's beaches and tourism operators have bounced back from the 2004 tsunami, which hammered its western coast and tragically claimed thousands of lives, it remembers the past with memorials and a far better warning system, should the world once more come under threat.


Best Times To Visit Phuket

The best time to go to Phuket is between November and April when weather are ideal for beach activities, like swimming and boating. The six months between May and October are monsoon season, and although accommodation prices are much lower this point of year, the water conditions are often dangerous.
