Phuket is at the top destination of every beach lover's bucket list. Tourists long to come to Phuket for its pristine beaches, exciting water sports, vibrant culture, fabulous restaurants and nightlife, cool boutiques, lively street markets, and island life.
Phuket, the biggest island in Thailand, lies in the Andaman Sea on the southwest coast of Thailand. Separated from the mainland by the Chong Pak Phra channel, Phuket is 49km long and 21km wide and is connected to the mainland by the 600-meter Sarasin Bridge. The geography of Phuket is varied and comprises forested hills, rocky headlands, stunning beaches, and farmlands in the plains.
Phuket is a province comprising 39 surrounding islands and is a sub-range of the Tenasserim Hills (the Phuket Range). The island is full of granite and sedimentary rock hills, some with a height above 500 metres. The plains are utilised for rice, pineapple, rubber, palm oil plantations, and coconuts farming. The Khao Phra Thaeo National Park on the island is known for mangroves and tropical rainforests.
Some destinations are ideal for holidays and then there are some that are meant just for vacations and getaways. For tourists who are headed to Krabi, there could be no better choice. This little town proves the adage ‘good things come in small packages’ right, because even though it is small in terms of area, the opportunities that it offers for fun are close to limitless. Thus, Krabi tour packages are becoming popular with globetrotters. Sitting on the shores of the Andaman Sea, Krabi is a town that has so much to share that there is no chance that tourists would get bored here. From sandy beaches to glistening pools of fresh water, there is so much to experience here. There are also coral reefs stretching as far as the eye can see and caves tucked away from public attention. Tourists would also like to spend hours watching water gush down the falls or stand under it, letting the natural shower wash away tension and stress. A tour package to Krabi lets tourists explore over 130 islands that comprise this part of Thailand. Some of the more popular islands are Mu Koh Poda, Mu Koh Hong and Poda Island. Not only do these islands have great beaches, but also facilities that tourists would look for on a holiday.
