Island Headquarters
Phuket
Thailand largest island, and the base for Phi Phi and James Bond island. Beaches for every temperament, from noisy to nearly empty.
- Best time
- November to April
- Ideal length
- 3 to 4 nights
Phuket is big enough that where you stay changes the holiday entirely. Patong is busy and central. Kata and Karon are calmer and better with children. Most people come for the boat trips, and Phi Phi in good weather is as good as the photographs suggest.
