Phuket Activities: 6 Adventurous Activities

 Phuket, Thailand's largest island, covers 36 square miles and lies off the west coast of southern Thailand on the Andaman Sea. Its diverse landscape, from mountains and jungles to beautiful beaches, offers an abundance of activities to try! Unfortunately, I was unwell for some of my time in Phuket so the only excursion I got to do was ATV riding. This post will share how I found this as well as some other activities I would love to do on my next trips to the island. 1. Snorkelling  Phuket's tropical climate keeps the water warm year-round, making it ideal for snorkelling. Discover vibrant coral reefs, reef fish, sea turtles and much more beneath the waves.  2. Scuba Diving For those looking for a deeper underwater adventure, scuba diving is a fantastic option.

Phi Phi Don Guide

Phi Phi Don is the largest of the six Phi Phi Islands, covering approximately 10 square miles. Located in the stunning Andaman Sea, just off the southern coast of Thailand, it stands out for its breathtaking scenery and vibrant atmosphere. This island quickly became my favourite destination in Thailand, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation.

Speedboats are obviously faster but are also more expensive.  The main departure ports are Rassada Pier in Phuket, Klong Jilad Pier in Krabi and Saladan Pier in Koh Lanta.  Speedboats and Ferries arrive at Tonsai Pier in Phi Phi Don. Once off the boat you will need to pay a small entry fee of 20 Baht per person which is an environmental tax fee which contributes twoards helping keep the island clean.  Where to Stay  1.

Discover Pattaya: A Day Trip From Bangkok

My Dad lives just outside of Pattaya so I spent a lot of time here on my trip and can say it is definitely worth a visit. So, if you find yourself with an extra couple of days in Bangkok, why not take a day trip to Pattaya? Just a short journey to the south, Pattaya offers stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife and unique culture experiences.     How to get there By bus Buses to Pattaya depart frequently from Ekkamai and Mo-Chit bus terminals, as well as Suvarnabhumi International Airport. The journey takes about 2-3 hours, and with affordable ticket prices, this is a great budget-friendly option for travellers. By Taxi For a more comfortable ride, consider taking a taxi or using ride-hailing services like Bolt or Grab. While this option is quicker, it comes at a higher price.     Morning: Sanctuary of Truth  Start your day at the Sanctuary of Truth. Arrive early to avoid the midday heat and appreciate the intricate details of this breathtaking temple. Towering at ...
