Phuket Mini Guide

Phuket, ‘the Pearl of the South’, lies just off the west coast of southern Thailand in the Andaman Sea. It boasts an impressive wealth of natural beauty - tropical palm-fringed beaches, spectacular cliffs, wildlife-rich national parkland, breathtaking red sunsets, gorgeous waterfalls, and beautiful warm surrounding seas all serving to make the area a highly desirable location for tourists from all over the world. The man made attractions are just as alluring as the god-given, with a profusion of cheap and nice accommodation, bountiful restaurants, a lively and fairly hedonistic nightlife, lots of stunning temples, some superb golfing facilities, and much more besides making Phuket a highly sought-after destination for those planning a visit to the gorgeous ‘Land of Smiles’.

The island’s attractions a of such a variety and range that there is something offered to suit almost anybody – pilgrims and party-people, honeymooners and beach bums, eight- and eighty-year-olds alike are sure to find something in Phuket to meet their needs and expectations for their Thai travels.

Things to see/do in Phuket

The freedom and independence that you enjoy with Phuket Car Hire means that thorough exploration of the island, at your leisure, is more than possible. With Argus Car Hire Phuket you can discover the island at a great low price – we offer the best deals online for Phuket Car Hire. A drive along Phuket’s southern coast, from Pronthep Point as far as Kata Beach, will offer some truly memorable scenery and an enjoyable drive. With a total drive time of under an hour, the mini-road-trip allows plenty of time for you to stop wherever you like and spend a few minutes enjoying the vistas offered at the numerous viewpoints and rest areas.

A drive along the island’s northern coast offers a different experience, although no less enjoyable. With Phuket Car Hire, you can navigate the north of the island at will, uncovering some breathtaking stretches of often-desolate coastline along the way. Phuket Car Hire makes it more than possible to find your own little ‘private’ stretch of beach in the north of Phuket so that you can swim, sunbathe and settle down for a day on the sand in solitude. Book your Phuket Car Hire in just a few short clicks, with Argus Car Hire Phuket.

There are superb national parks in Phuket, filled with scenic walking trails that provide for tourists an up-close and personal Thai rainforest experience. Drive to the most spectacular parks on the island with Phuket Car Hire, and see the most breathtaking landscape and waterfalls on the island. Taking the short boat trip to nearby Phang-Nga bay is fairly cheap, and offers a chance to swim on this gorgeous beach and gaze at the awe-inspiring scenery and unique, unusual rock formations.

There is a buzzing, bustling night market in Phuket where you can find a, extensive and colourful array of exotic fruits and vegetables, cheap Thai food, and local produce and crafts. Bargain hunting on a budget is easy here, and remember sellers expect you to haggle to some extent for whatever you are interested in buying. But it’s also worth remembering that things are very cheap here, so have a heart and don’t haggle too much – it’s probably only twenty cent you’re bargaining for, after all!

In Phuket, Thai massage is an absolute must. Spas offer hour-long (and even longer) Thai massages for ridiculously cheap prices, and a perfect afternoon of pampering here is something to experience! Thai massage can, at times, be borderline pleasure/pain, but stick with it and enjoy the deep mental and physical relaxation you will experience afterwards. You will pay just a few euro for at least an hour of being stretched, pulled and bent every which way – and with the money you save on Phuket Car Hire when you book online with Argus Car Hire Phuket, you might be able to afford a few during your holiday!

Eating out/nightlife in Phuket

Eating out in Phuket, like in most parts of Thailand, is a low cost and often interesting affair. There are many good restaurants serving tasty Thai cuisine, but there are just as many that feel a little like ‘Fawlty Towers’, with mains arriving twenty minutes apart and starters arriving after mains… In times like these it is recommended to take a leaf from the Thai people’s book, and remain good-natured. After all, not only are meals cooked to order, but when the meals are as inexpensive as they are in Thailand, it’s difficult to complain about them.

Thai curries are flavoursome, satisfying, and wonderfully aromatic and are usually a good choice if you’re not sure what to go for. In general, your best bet is to stick to eating Thai food – not only is it generally far cheaper than western options, but it is generally, unsurprisingly, far better cooked.
