Top things to do in Phuket

If you are looking for some activities away from Twinpalms, one of the top things to do in Phuket would be taking a day trip to Koh Phi Phi Le (Phi Phi Island). Ferries take about an hour and a half to get to Phi Phi Island and leave the Rassada Pier in Phuket Town at 8:30 or 10:30am.

Once to Phi Phi Island, many people want to venture to Maya Bay and Pileh Bay, which was made famous in “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. You can rent a longtail boat for the day for around 2,000 Baht which will take you out to Maya Bay to enjoy some snorkeling and swimming.

Another top thing to do in Phuket would be taking an hour or so drive up to Phang-nga National Park and taking a boat tour, which includes James Bond island and the floating village of Koh Panyi.

Lastly, you can choose to head up to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary.  Once to the Elephant Sanctuary, you will prepare bananas to feed to the elephants and shortly afterward bathing the elephants in mud water.
