Phuket

Phuket is Thailand’s biggest island, but the experience changes completely depending on where you stay. One stretch of coast is all beach clubs and sunset cocktails, another is quiet pool villas hidden among palms, while the north feels calmer and far less built-up. This guide pulls together the Phuket posts that actually help with planning the trip properly — where to stay, which luxury resorts are worth the money, the beaches that still feel good to wake up beside and the parts of the island that suit different kinds of travellers.
