Wat Phra Thong
(17 Votes)
This is not a very impressive-looking temple from the outside. But when it has a gigantic half-buried statue of a golden Buddha, a temple doesn’t have to be impressive from the outside. There is a rather fantastical legend about the origin of the statue and of the temple, and you should get the locals to tell it to you. But you should know that this is thought to be one of the oldest temp...Read more -

James Bond Island
(11194 Votes)
In case you are wondering why this place is named after the legendary British Secret agent, it is because parts of the film "The Man with the Golden Gun" was filmed here. This has made it an iconic and popular tourist destination. The water is greenish blue whereas the rocks are limestone and hence bright while in color making the place a real sight to be beheld.

Tsunami Memorial Park
(19 Votes)
300 souls in Phuket, locals and tourists, were killed in the 2004 tsunami, most of them in the Baan Nam Khem village, which was nearly wiped off the map. This park with its wave shaped walls was established to commemorate those dead souls. There hang photographs and plaques. Since it was established, the park has become something of an annual pilgrimage site. There is nothing much to do here ex...Read more -
Despite being one of the longest beaches on the southern end of the island, this beach has surprisingly little to offer by way of the usual activities. At high tide the water comes into high and there's barely any beach left. At low tide it goes out too far and leaves behind a landscape of mud and rocks. That's not very appealing for anybody. Most people who come here do so to check out the Fri...Read more -
Turtle Village Shops And Cuisine
(19 Votes)
Most people's complaint with the shopping complex seems to be that while its prices are high; its atmosphere isn't nearly as polished. The reason behind that is the stores here mostly cater to the guests staying at the nearby resorts. And the goods themselves are considerably upscale - Thai silks, jewellery, handcrafted optics, Kashmir textiles, upscale resort wear, night clothing, expensive ac...Read more -

Layan Beach

As the Bang Two beach ends to the north, Layan Beach starts. This is a small and tranquil stretch of sand, with aquamarine blue waters and shady palm trees.

From one of the restaurants you can rent a kayak and take it out into the...Read more

Any beach hotels with day use passes - we are from a cruise shjip and just have a few hours.
Answer Report Abuse-
Hi Janet. I suggest you ask for the day use passes at your cruise ship reception. Most of the cruise ships offer such passes to their guests. If they are not available, find here the best hotels in Phuket. However, you may have to call these hotels individually to know if they are offering any day use passes.
