- Deep Sea Fishing – The Andaman Sea is home to a wide variety of fish and you can charter a fishing boat for the day and enjoy some real sport. If you rent a luxury suite at aPatong hotel in Phuket it only takes a couple of minutes to be at the jetty and the tour operator has all the fishing equipment and bait. You can team up with a few other people to make the day more affordable and the price is all-inclusive.
- Snorkelling – What’s not to like about swimming with bottle-nose dolphins and whale sharks? There are some spectacular reefs around Phuket and the skippers know the best place for every marine species. We recommend you buy your own mask & flippers, as this enhances the experience and if you would like to get PADI Certified, they have dive shops in Phuket.
- Meditation Retreat – Cleanse your mind and revitalize your spirit by spending 3 days at an exclusive meditation retreat; a great opportunity to recharge those batteries by sitting with yourself in a beautiful natural environment. The Thais are so calm and contented because they are practicing Buddhism, which is not a religion but a guide to living a happy life and you can learn a lot from the gurus at the retreat. Here are a few excellent reasons to stay in a hotel when on vacation.
- Cruise the Andaman Sea – Charter a boat for a couple of days and spend the evening in one of the stunning coves, watching the sunset while sipping your favorite cocktail. Surf the web looking for Phuket yacht charters and check out the range of vessels and tour packages that are on offer. Lounging on the sundeck is the perfect backdrop for your Instagram page and take your snorkeling gear along for some amazing marine observation. This is a stunning part of the world where there is an abundance of marine life and makes sure you take your underwater camera.
