Island Trips
Phuket Island itself has beautiful
beaches and a huge range of activities
and entertainment, however, what really
makes Phuket a special holiday
destination is the fact that it is the
gateway to the islands in the Andaman
Sea and Phang Nga Bay. Many of the
idyllic picture-postcard scenes are
taken on these small islands. Most of
these are uninhabited and you have to
take a tour or charter a boat to get
there.
