Places To Visit In Phuket
Nai Harn Beach
Nai Harn Beach is a relatively untouched beach with clear blue waters and smooth white sand. This vast beach is not crowded during the high season (December to May) and offers many things, like souvenir shops, hotels, and massage centers. One can get a relaxing massage for 300 TBH per hour or try out delicious Thai cuisine.
Nai Thon Beach
The secluded and sparsely crowded Naithon beach is located in western Phuket. The drive to the beach takes you through lush green pastures, and tourists often spend time here in exploring rocky coves and scuba diving activities. The famous Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is also located at Naithon, where you even give the elephants a little mud bath!
Nai Yang Beach
The off-beaten and shady Nai Yang beach, with its casuarina trees, little beach bars and shacks remains a favourite of those tourists who discover it. It is ideal for lounging around, getting traditional massages and sampling some delicious local cuisine. The famous Sirinath Park is also located nearby
OTOP Patong
When tourists get tired of the beaches, they choose to drop by the open-air market i.e. OTOP Shopping Paradise in Patong, Phuket. It is indeed the best place to pick up a number of local products including textiles, handicrafts, pottery and electronic goods at affordable rates. The place is found to be crowded in the evenings with most people making a beeline for the bars and food carts parked nearby. The term OTOP is an acronym for ‘One Tambon One Product’ that begun as a venture to promote indigenous products created by the sub districts (Tambon) across Thailand. The influx of tourists and lure of dollars has resulted in compromising the idea somewhat with pirated electronic goods and accessories being vended at the market today as well. However, there are a number of stalls that continue to sell original OTOP items with the huge wood crafted Buddha heads being the most popular of the lot.
Visiting the market is more of a fun experience then a venue for indulging in serious shopping. Most of the tourists pick up a few local handicrafts and interesting looking souvenirs before heading to the restaurants or food carts to sample delicious local dishes and cheap drinks. Individuals hoping to relax after a tiring day at the beach also enter the tattoo parlor located within the market to obtain a memory of the place.

Pansea Beach
Nestling along Phuket's west coast at the Surin Beach's northern tip, Pansea Beach is a hidden paradise. Tourists vacationing in Phuket often spend a day at the beach to get away from the busy town. A relaxing Thai massage, hanging out by the beach shacks, and water sports such as windsurfing, kayaking, and snorkelling are some of the activities here.
This secluded beach comfortably straddles between the luxurious Amanpuri Resort and the Surin Resort, making Pansea Beach a private beach of either of the two properties. However, since private beaches are not allowed in Thailand, the beach is open to the public as well. Either end of Pansea Beach host splendid rock formations in addition to plenty of coral reefs. The beach is also a lovely sunset viewpoint.

Patong Night Markets
The local markets of Phuket, especially the night markets in Patong, are fun places where the visitors can bargain vigorously, often obtaining products at throwaway prices. The night markets are colourful places with a surprising array of goods offered by the hawkers.

The Patong night markets operate from early evening and continue to sell their wares until the late hours of the night.
The Malin Plaza can be found at the southern end of the Patong beach and has become immensely popular as a night market in Patong. Although newly constructed, it managed to carve out a niche for itself by focusing on lip-smacking local food that attracts people in hordes. OTOP (One Tambon One Product), was created to encourage entrepreneurship among the local residents of Thailand. The market offers an exciting variety of handloom products, pottery items and a lip-smacking array of foods that are sold to the people visiting the Patong night market.
