Phuket, Thailand’s largest island situated in the Andaman Sea is amongst the most popular destinations for tourists to the country. With excellent connectivity, that includes an international airport and immigration, it has fast developed into a haven for several expatriates.

With long idyllic beaches making up the coastline, particularly on the south and west sides of the island, you are spoilt for choice for a location to stay. However, being relatively spread out, it is not as easy to get around as other destinations in Thailand like Pattaya or Bangkok – and it makes sense to book your local transportation.

Phuket is also a great base for excursions to the nearby islands such as the Phi Phi and Koh Lanta. Several options for trips to these islands are available and is really a must do on a trip to Phuket. The central area of Patong, with a long beach is where all the commercial establishments are including the restaurants, bars, shopping and nightlife.

Golf in Phuket is of a premium quality and there are several world class choices scattered across; from the high end spectacular and challenging courses  such as the Red Mountain & Blue Canyon to relatively affordable options such as the Loch Palm and Laguna Country Club amongst others. The best way to approach a golf holiday in Phuket is to work with a budget and get an optimal fit.
