Would you like to see different sides of island life around Phuket? These four places introduce the scenery of southern Thailand.
Before choosing a day trip or a longer excursion, consider the journey times. Access and the actual route need to be checked for your travel dates.
1. Maya Bay
The bay became famous through the film The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio. Tropical nature, high cliffs and changing sea colours form a recognizable photographic backdrop. Check visitor rules in advance.
2. Phi Phi Don
One of the best-known Phi Phi islands, with sea views and trips to diving locations. A stop here reveals another side of the archipelago beyond its uninhabited bays.
3. Pileh Lagoon
This cliff-framed lagoon draws visitors with its distinctive water colour. Boat access and swimming depend on conditions and current rules; photographs are not a promise of a particular activity.
4. Bamboo Island
A pale beach, tropical greenery and the sea form a familiar picture of an island holiday. It is a place that invites you to slow down and look around, leaving time for photographs too.
