Hat Mai Khao
Hat Mai Khao is a beach on the northwestern coast of Phuket. Mai Khao is one of the few beaches in Phuket that continues to nesting turtles. The sand in Mai Khao is the coarsest in Phuket and it appears underdeveloped when compared to other hotspot destinations in Phuket. However, if you are someone who enjoys being in solitude this place should be on your itinerary.
Hat Nai Han Beach
Nai Harn is a beautiful & secluded beach in the south of Phuket. It is calm and more laid back than other tourist spots in Phuket but has a fair share of food, hotels, and shops you need for a great time. Swimming is not recommended during the monsoon season i.e from May-Oct. This beach is less crowded and makes it perfect for people who prefer privacy.

If you’re the one who’s seeking adventure in your Phuket trip, this should be your ideal destination. The north end of the beach has a coral reef that invites undersea adventures while you can wade through other sections of the beach.
Old Phuket Town

Visitors interested in History & Archeology can enjoy the illusion of being transported back to over a century ago. Old Phuket town is primarily comprised of five roads namely Phang NGA Road, Thalang Road, Thalang Road, Krabi Road & Anong road.
Bangla Road
Like owls, Bangla road awakens when the sun sets. If you’re a party animal, then this place should be on the top of your list. This is the place to relax and freak out as almost all of the bars are outdoors or open-fronted with music from each one blending into a weird but delightful mix. The sex industry is big here. Some like it while others loathe it, whether you like it or hate it is still on tourists’ diary as one of the must-see tourist destinations in Phuket Island.
