Thailand is the most popular tourist country in Southeast Asia and my favorite travel destination, going to Thailand 4 times in 3 years, each time with a completely different experience. Island leisure, idyllic scenery, temple culture, rich food culture have made Thailand the number one country in Southeast Asia in terms of tourism.
Thai tourism has always been one of the pillar industries of the local area, and before the epidemic, Thailand's tourism economy accounted for 21% of total GDP. How many Thais rely on the tourism economy to survive, and now Phuket, Thailand, is once again fully open, and tourists from all over the world who land in Phuket from May 1 do not need nucleic acid reports or quarantine, and can enjoy the sun and sand when they come to Phuket.
What kind of tourist city is Phuket? Why has it been a pilot destination for Thailand's tourism opening up during the epidemic period? The first time you come to Phuket, you will be struck by the long coastline, along the coastline of 10 kilometers of coconut grove beaches, covered with forests, is a pleasant holiday island.
Located in the Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand, Phuket is the largest island in Thailand. It is full of tropical flavor, specializing in tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango and coconut. Seafood and rubber are the main industries here. Due to the island's abundant resources, it is also known as the Treasure Island.
Phuket is also the most popular tourist city in Thailand, where tourism has been on the rise since the 1970s. Today's Phuket has long formed a well-equipped tourism and vacation system. There are rich natural tourism resources, oceans, forests, people can dive into the sea, jungle off-road. Enjoy the leisure of your island vacation and experience a variety of exciting sea adventure sports. A large number of homestays, hotels, resorts, cafes and Thai restaurants can be found everywhere, blending fashion and pristine nature.
I really like Phuket's seafood market, and when you come to the local seafood market, you can pick fresh seafood for on-site processing, while blowing the sea breeze, enjoying Phuket's seafood feast. In the evening, you can go to the open bar for a drink and feel the nightlife of Phuket. To experience a Muay Thai performance, this is a very local Thai culture.
The first day to visit the main island patong beach, Kata beach. The next day you can choose to go to sea, with 39 small islands scattered around Phuket. The most popular is pp Island, which is the perfect choice for diving learning. There are also coral islands named for the rich ecology of coral groups, Emperor Island with pristine scenery, and Andaman Princess Island with long white sand beaches... Coming to Phuket to experience the calm atmosphere of island life is the perfect combination of pristine and leisure vacation.
Now that tourism in Phuket, Thailand is fully open, tourists from all over the world can come to Phuket to enjoy the long-lost freedom and beach sunshine.
