Farther Afield

Try to imagine the perfect tropical landscape, and
you will probably conjure up almost exactly the
scenery that surrounds Phuket – unspoiled
white-sand beaches, enchanting underwater
worlds, ancient rain forests, and dramatic
limestone cliffs. There are also hundreds
of exotic birds, rare plants and flowers,
native animals, colorful coral reefs, and
awe-inspiring vistas. Easily accessible
from Phuket as day trips, southern
Thailand’s natural wonders draw millions
Junk in Phang Nga Bay of visitors each year, but at their farthest
reaches – when trekking on jungle trails,
immersed in the azure sea, kayaking in cave grottoes, or boating
through sparsely populated bays – you’ll often find yourself alone.
