Phuket has numerous tourist attractions as well as historical and religious sites that you may not want to miss. Take snapshots with the Phuket Big Buddha in the background, take a leisurely walk in the Old Phuket Town, enjoy a glass of cocktail in an ocean view bar or see the world-famous transvestite cabaret show. When you have the time, try to taste some local delicacies that can easily be found in local restaurants or roadside stalls. Street food and hawker stalls are everywhere, day and night. One of my favorite Thai street foods is the Thai-style coconut ice cream on sticks which can be found easily from local street vendors that can be recognized from the sound of cow bells they attach to their stalls. Deep fried pork and beef Satay are also some of the mouth-watering local delicacies that you can enjoy for very reasonable prices.
Phuket has long been a popular tourist destination in Thailand. If you are considering visiting Phuket this upcoming summer, you may want to book hotels and flight tickets in advance. By booking in advance, you will have bigger chance to find best deals on accommodation and airline tickets. Find an online booking travel site that focuses on hotel bookings in Thailand, because generally they will have better relationship with local hotels and are able to show you best deals available in Phuket. Compare hotels by reading reviews and book your room in a Phuket Hotel that has superb amenities and excellent view, among other things.
