Just spent
Just spent a dreamy few days bouncing between Takua Thung and Phuket 🏝️🌅 — think crystal-clear water, epic views, and jaw-dropping temples! If you love swimming and island-hopping, this itinerary absolutely delivers.
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Ko Tapu (James Bond Island), Krasom Subdistrict, Takua Thung — Famous for its movie cameo! Open 8:00–17:00 daily, get there early for less crowds and those crazy scenic selfies.
2. Khao Phing Kan, Phang Nga — Explore caves and beaches, open 9:00–21:00. Perfect for swimming and admiring those limestone cliffs.
3. Chaithararam Temple – Wat Chalong, Chao Fah Tawan Tok Rd, Phuket — Cultural must-see, open 8:00–17:00 year-round. Respect dress code, keep shoulders and knees covered.
4. The Big Buddha, Phuket — Hike up for panoramic island views and calm vibes.
5. 333 At The Beach, Kamala — Delicious Thai food right on the sand! Try the Pad Thai and mango sticky rice, 333/3 Moo 3, Kamala, Kathu.
6. Twinpalms MontAzure Phuket, Kamala — Swanky stay! Super friendly staff, dreamy pools and a spa. Room tip: Ask about humidity control when checking in.
Getting Around:
Rent a scooter for max freedom, or use local taxis/Grab for short hops. Longtail boats are the move for island trips — bargain a little before you set sail!
Food & Tip-Offs:
Eat beachfront whenever possible! Simple tip: Bring swim gear (every spot is a swim opportunity). Sunscreen is a must. Cash is still king for smaller vendors. Phuket’s weather is warm year-round, but expect epic sunsets especially in Nov–Apr.
