If you are seeking a tropical vacation that is affordable, you should consider visiting Phuket, Thailand. It is truly one of the greatest places in the world to see. It is surrounded by gorgeous beaches and filled with tons of exciting attractions. Whether you visit Phuket with your significant other or a few friends, you will have the time of your life. Here are some places and attractions that you can’t miss out on in Phuket.
Simon Cabaret Show

This extravagant show features several transvestites who are dressed in fabulous costumes and wearing shimmery makeup. You should definitely check out this show if you are not afraid to see something different and unique.
Big Buddha
The Big Buddha is a site you definitely do not want to miss out when you are in Phuket. It recently arrived to the island and is 45 meters tall. Standing next to this monument truly is breathtaking. When you stand next to the Big Buddha, all you will hear are the tinkling of small bells.
Bangtao Beach
Bangtao Beach is one of the best beaches to go to in Phuket. It is 6 kilometers long and pretty quiet most of the time. If you want to go somewhere to relax and forget about the stresses of everyday life, you should stop by this beach. When you are at this beach, you can swim, sunbathe on the sand, build sandcastles or just relax. It is a good idea to bring a picnic lunch to the beach because there are not a lot of places to eat on the beach.
Barefoot Beach Shack
If you are looking for a great place to eat, you should definitely check out Barefoot Beach Shack. It is one of the most casual restaurants in town and all the artwork and furniture is made out of recycled driftwood, textiles and old material. There are a lot of different foods included on the menu including club sandwiches, tuna salad and fries. Don’t forget to have a fruity cocktail with your meal.
Phuket FantaSea
Phuket FantaSea is one of the most popular shows on the island. When you are there, you will see trapeze artists, performing elephants and other great animals. You can also play a lot of carnival games and do some shopping at Phuket FantaSea.
If you visit these places in Phuket, you will have an incredible time. Remember to book your flight to Phuket ahead of time so that you save some money.
