Phuket is a beautiful collection of islands off mainland Thailand and is a vacation destination filled with stunning views, historical sites, and fun attractions for the entire family. The great thing about Phuket is that visitors can explore everything it has to offer, no matter how small or large a budget. Other than the beautiful things to see and do, the beaches in Phuket deserve to be acknowledged on their own; the crystal-clear waters and golden sands make it one of the most beautiful places in the world to sunbathe, swim, snorkel, scuba dive, or participate in other water activities. Some attractions that shouldn't be missed include the 45-foot-tall Big Buddha, the fishing village of Ko Panyi, Old Phuket Town, and the Phi Phi Islands.
