Wat Chalong
Wat Chalong, or Chalong Temple, is Phuket’s largest and most visited temple, built in the early 19th century. This sacred site is dedicated to two revered monks, Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Chuang, who played a vital role in aiding the citizens of Chalong Sub-district during the Chinese rebellion of 1876.
The temple’s highlight is the Grand Pagoda (Chedi), which houses a fragment of Lord Buddha’s bone. The walls are adorned with intricate murals that beautifully depict Buddha’s life story, adding a layer of serenity and reverence to the experience. Visitors should follow the appropriate dress code: no short pants, sleeveless shirts, or bare feet are allowed to ensure respect for this holy site.
Sirinatin kansallispuisto
Located on Phuket’s northwest coast, Sirinatin kansallispuisto is a stunning 90-square-kilometer coastal area renowned for its pristine white sandy beaches and the unique sight of aircraft flying low over the beach as they land. The park is home to four untouched beaches, two of which are the only spots in Phuket where leatherback turtles come ashore at night to lay their eggs.
Nature lovers will enjoy exploring the park’s diverse wildlife, including over 130 recorded bird species such as mangrove pittas, Nicobar pigeons, and brown-winged kingfishers. For the best chance to see leatherback turtles, plan your visit between November and February, when you can also support local patrols working to protect the turtle eggs.
Sunnuntai Walking Street Market
The Sunday Walking Street Market, also known as Lardyai (meaning “big market”), takes over Thalang Road in Phuket Old Town every Sunday evening. This vibrant night market is a treasure trove of southern Thai culinary specialties, local handicrafts, jewelry, and unique gifts.
The colorful Sino-Portuguese-style house facades provide a stunning backdrop, making it a favorite spot for tourists to capture Instagram-worthy shots. With its lively atmosphere and diverse offerings, the market is perfect for soaking up the local culture. Be sure to bring enough cash, as most stalls only accept cash payments.
Phi Phi saari
No trip to Phuket is complete without visiting Phi Phi saari, a world-renowned destination for diving and snorkeling. With crystal-clear waters and ideal temperatures ranging from 26 to 30 degrees Celsius, Phi Phi Island offers incredible underwater experiences. Expect to encounter vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, seahorses, sea turtles, manta rays, and even majestic whale sharks.
Getting to Phi Phi Island is easy, with ferries and speedboats as your main options. Ferries are a popular choice among tourists, though they can get crowded during the high season. For larger groups, speedboats are a quicker and often more cost-effective alternative, cutting travel time by nearly 50%.
