5 Things to Do in Phuket That You Shouldn't Miss
Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers and serious divers, who enthusiastically submerge themselves in the Andaman Sea. Blue lagoons and salmon sunsets make for a dream-like atmosphere, and indeed, a vacation here can feel a bit surreal. Watersports are the most popular activities, though once you’ve had enough sun there’s still plenty to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

There is lots to do here and the views are amazing. You can also learn a 7 minute meditation and receive a gift from a monk and a blessing for a small donation.
The views are amazing but currently there is building works going on which spoils it slightly.
You cannot show your knees or shoulders otherwise you have to borrow some clothes at the entrance but it seems this rule only applied to women!

If you love creepy guys, this is your place. Wall to wall with leering, sweaty sunburnt men creepily checking out young thai women (and men) like the McDonalds value menu. Worth seeing, but you come away from the place feeling like you're life is slightly more on track than some of the creeps out there.

We visited this beach in dec and it was very crowded. This beach is all about: Scorching heat and chilled sea water, multiple food points, shakes, water activities, various people and colorful environment.
We opted for jet ski and it was awesome. After few instructions and a tutorial, the team allowed my husband and I to enjoy the jet ski ride together. The waves were so irregular and we enjoyed it a lot.
There are many food points also where you can enjoy italian, meditteranean, indian and other cousines near the beach. We had italian food and the pizza was really nice, fruit punch (prepared in wine) was also awesome.
We had rented a bike so it was easy to reach this place. We ended up having a nice experience and a tanned body.

Guided tours begin at 9:30 am, 11 am, 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm, every day Monday to Friday, and last about 40 minutes. The shelter is closed to visitors on Saturdays and Sundays. Soi Dog Foundation is a registered charity that helps street dogs and stray cats. Visitors are welcome to take a tour of the facilities and meet the hundreds of dogs and dozens of cats, and after the tour you can stay for the day to play with the animals. Rather than a "dog pound," Soi Dog's shelter is an uplifting environment where dogs and cats receive lots of love and high quality care.

The work they do here is fantastic, everybody is so friendly and you can tell they are super passionate about the animals. Such a great way to spend an afternoon. Kimbrell was such a great dog to hang with.

I visited this gym as a week long stay as part of our annual club trip! As a group of 12, tim and the trainers were excellent in accommodating us and making sure we received the most personalised training possible! The trainers are experienced and motivating working with everyone's different levels and abilities!
Tim went out of his way to make us feel welcome and part of the team and all of the guys had an unforgettable experience!
We will definitely be visiting again and would recommend to anybody wanting to develop their training or try out Musy Thai for the first time!
A great gym with great people!
