Phuket Island, located in the Indian Ocean, resembles an irregularly shaped pearl from above, the territory of which is 70% covered with tropical forests combined with coconut plantations, waterfalls and parks. The island is popular with tourists for its beautiful coral reefs, cliffs, sandy beaches and clear sea. Tourists began to come to rest not very long ago, about fifty years ago a boom began, and Phuket was flooded with travelers from all over the world.

There are many small rocky islands around the island. On one of these islands, the filming of the film "Agent 007: The Man with the Golden Gun" took place.

Map of Phuket with attractions in Russian
I made a map of the island with interesting and worth visiting places, plotted all the points mentioned above on a Google map.
Updated 02/03/2020 Views 237496 Comments 18
As a rule, I always use Google Map to find something on the map. But sometimes you have to resort to ordinary maps, some of which help you quickly find out where this or that beach and area is located, because this simply isn’t on Google. In addition, the street names do not match the Thai ones. At first I was so tormented before I realized it.
Most often, maps are needed even before the trip, but during it there is an opportunity to use paper ones, which are not difficult to get on the spot - either at the airport, or in a shopping center, or at a scooter rental point. Usually they are quite detailed and they show sights, shops, markets and train stations. Alternatively, use maps in GPS, for example, for Igo 8, we did this in Bangkok, it is very easy to get lost there at first.
About Phuket beaches in general
Briefly talk about the beaches of Phuket. The entire west coast is suitable for swimming, but the east coast is not. The eastern areas of Chalong Bay are good for tasting seafood dishes, as well as for inexpensive and long-term accommodation. However, the coast there is dirty, occupied by fishing boats and no one swims there.
The most popular beach in Phuket is (Patong), many compare it with Pattaya, as it is the most party place on the island: nightlife, clubs, bars, shopping centers, many people. Therefore, if you need peace and quiet, then you definitely shouldn’t go there, I don’t recommend it. For a family and relaxing holiday, either on a rustic (Bang Tao) or on. And if you need something something in between, then on or. As an option, you can choose, but he is not far from Patong, there are also a lot of people there, although there is less movement.
My favorite, which is located in the south of Phuket, there are only a couple of hotels on the coast, the place is quiet and beautiful, near the lake. And if you have a bike, then from the same Rawai Beach, it takes no more than 15 minutes to get there. Perfect place!
Another, even more sparsely populated beach. It is located near the airport and is not particularly popular among tourists, because the infrastructure is not enough, and you can swim only in the central part, where it is deep.
To begin with, I present to your attention a Google map, on which I marked all the beaches on the island. Including private beaches of hotels, small and little-known beaches. Popular ones are also there. By clicking on a point, you can follow the link and read a detailed description of each beach and see photos.
Maps of individual beaches
And now a few maps are on the way.
Phuket town map
And finally, a map of the main and only city on the island - Phuket-town. If you come to Phuket by bus, you will most likely end up in the city. And also if you go to shopping centers or somewhere else.
