WELCOME TO PHUKET

With pearly white sand beaches, ancient rainforests teeming with wildlife, and tranquil temples and shrines, Thailands largest island offers a tropical getaway like no other, whether youre seeking a beach holiday, a cultural break or a hiking trip. With DK Eyewitness Top 10 Phuket, it is yours to explore.

Although many people come to Phuket (pronounced POO-get) to laze on its beaches, theres much to discover beyond the sand. Join the crowds in one of Patongs bustling street markets, admire the 19th-century temple Wat Chalong and hop between restaurants and street food stalls in Phuket Town, before kicking back on lovely Kata Beach.

Theres also much to see beyond this 50-mile- (80-km-) long island, which is connected to the mainland by a bridge and surrounded by smaller islands. The karst cliffs and sea caves of Phang Nga Bay are rivaled by the surging waterfalls in the rainforests of Khao Sok National Park, north of Phuket. The nearby Similan Islands are rated among the worlds top ten diving sites, and Ko Phi Phi Don, a short boat ride south of Phuket, offers a heady mix of raucous parties and silent, secluded beaches.

Whether youre visiting for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything Phuket and the surrounding areas have to offer, from the world-class resorts lining Mai Khao Beach to the pristine rainforests of Khao Phra Thaeo Royal Forest and Wildlife Reserve. The guide gives you useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to places off the beaten path, alongside five easy-to-follow itineraries, designed to help you visit a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Phuket.
