Overview of scenic spots in Phuket

The scenery of Pipitang is as the LP Thailand Manual says: Although the consumption level of Pipitang is slightly higher than that of other places in Thailand, if compared with the beautiful islands in other places, you will find that this paradise on earth is actually so cheap that people can't help laughing.

Pipi Island is located in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. Consists of big Pippi and small Pippi. This beautiful sea area is the mouth of the Nujiang River. Tourists usually live on the big Pippi Island, and the two islands are connected by a "corridor". This corridor is the busiest place in Pipi Island. Many hotels, restaurants, bars, diving schools, travel agencies and vendors are densely distributed around the alley. On both sides of the corridor are two very beautiful bays, one is called Olodarum and the other is called Aodongxi Bay. It only takes 65,438+00 minutes to walk back and forth between these two bays, which is quite leisurely and enjoyable. One of the biggest temptations here is the warm and humid climate-the annual average temperature is 28℃, and the temperature difference is very small.

Tourists like to take a cruise to Phi Phi Phi Island at Phuket Pier in the afternoon (the one-way fare is about 350 baht, equivalent to RMB about 70 yuan), and we are no exception. Almost all the cruise ships are western faces with white skin and blue eyes, which shows that Europeans and Americans love Pipi Island. The sea view along the way is beautiful. After about an hour and a half, the cruise ship can reach the pier Tongsai Bay in Dapipi. At first glance, it is hard to imagine that this place was hit by a tsunami in 2004-at that time, 70% of the buildings on the land were destroyed. When I got off the cruise ship, I found that the guy in the hotel had been waiting at the dock for a long time. The owner of the hotel also warmly sent a map of the island. After the break, you can go to the beach in Rodalam Bay to watch the sunset. At the seaside, darkness has no obvious boundaries. Just now, the setting sun reflected the sea. It is difficult to tell where the sea is and where the sky is in an instant.

The next morning, the quiet streets were not as noisy as at night, and the air was filled with leisure and romance. Birds are singing in the trees, and cats are taking a nap by the roadside. Walking on the soft beach, I feel the feeling of being gently touched by fine sand under my feet, which is beyond words. Following the smell of toast, a fool can find a small shop and have a delicious breakfast. After a hearty meal, they went to the legendary Maya Bay, where the movie The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed. The coconut trees and houses in the movie are built separately, but the blue water is as clear as in the movie, and fish can be seen swimming underwater through the strong sunlight. Because there are cliffs on three sides, it has become a paradise that is not polluted by the world. Hold up the camera and press the shutter at will. Any photo can be used as a postcard of the scenery. Coral island is named after its rich coral ecology, surrounded by various colorful coral reefs. This is the best place for all kinds of water sports. This is an increasingly popular and lively place. There are many divers and paratroopers everywhere, and more people come here to enjoy the sunshine bath.

It is especially suitable for diving, and there are many special tourism projects such as walking in the sea (feeding fish under the sea with helmets, about 1500 baht/person) and paragliding. The hotel also provides diving projects for guests, ranging from the most basic diving courses to equipping professional diving equipment and issuing certificates. There are a variety of packages to choose from, with prices ranging from 2000 to 12000 baht.

Coral Island is located at the southernmost tip of Phuket, 9 kilometers away. It takes 15 minutes by ordinary ferry from Chalong Port. You can also rent a long-tailed boat or speedboat to go to Coral Island. Phang Nga Bay, located 75km northeast of Phuket, belongs to Phang Nga House and is known as the most beautiful place in the whole island, the "Small Guilin" of Thailand.

There are hundreds of limestone islands here, and their names are very consistent with their shapes. There are also stalactite caves and countless grotesque caves. Among them, 007 Island (also known as Nail Island) and Stalactite Island Cave (namely Buddhist Temple Cave and Hermit Cave) are famous for their natural wonders. There are precious viviparous plants in the bay, and there are rivers between mangroves and small fishing villages. You can see mangroves and small fishing villages on the boat.

To go to Phang Nga Bay, you need to take a bus across the sea-crossing bridge to Phang Nga House, and take a shuttle bus from Phuket for 2 hours. The fare is 36 baht, five times a day. Then take a long-tailed boat or speedboat to 007 Island. Tongsai Waterfall belongs to Copatao National Park. This is the last intact pristine tropical rain forest in Phuket. You can camp in the virgin rainforest and experience outdoor life. The most unique local plant is a palm tree named "Palm Langkao", which is characterized by white leaves on the back. It is said that this strange palm tree is unique to this place.

The scenery near the waterfall is pleasant, the environment is beautiful and there are many wild animals. In addition, there are Pae Waterfall and Phuket Gibbon Breeding Center, which are funded by donations and managed by volunteers to provide shelter for captured gibbons and return them to nature. Visitors can invest 1800 baht to adopt a gibbon for one year.

Juranta National Park is located in the north of Phuket, 20 kilometers away from Talang Town. It is 22 kilometers north of Phuket Town and several kilometers east of Badong Buddhist Temple. "Racha" means "emperor" in the local language. Compared with other scenic spots in Phuket, Emperor Island is relatively new. With pure and pollution-free seawater and beaches, relatively independent geographical location and luxurious supporting services, it has been favored by many European and American tourists.

During the development of scenic spots, only one tree was cut down and two trees were planted on the island, which shows that the natural features of Huangdi Island are still intact. Due to the late development, the number of tourists here is relatively small. Compared with the noisy Phuket, the beach environment here is particularly quiet, with only sporadic swimmers and surfers nearby. Magic Dodge Park officially opened at the end of 1998, which is a theme park similar to Las Vegas style. It is located in Kamara Beach, which is famous for its colorful nightlife and is the most popular tourist attraction in Phuket. Every night, Fantastic Duoqi Theatre will stage wonderful programs, such as singing and dancing, magic, acrobatics and elephant performances, with explanations in English and Thai. Here, in the form of ancient villages, the mysterious side of Thai traditional culture is shown to tourists, especially when the last dozen elephants walked onto the stage together, which was very spectacular.

Fantasy Park covers a vast area, including theme commercial streets, food stalls, palace-style restaurants and luxurious modern theaters. Here, you can not only buy handicrafts with Thai characteristics, but also taste local specialties and cuisines from all over the world. Thais regard it as the local Disneyland. Patong Beach is 0/5 km away from Phuket Town/Kloc-and is the most developed beach area in Phuket. There are many tourists in Badong Beach during the day, attracting more and more tourists. Tourists who like shopping also like it here, because there are several streets full of shops and restaurants near the beach. At night, people come and go in the resort's open-air bars, dance halls and nightclubs. There is a famous shemale performance after ten o'clock in the evening, which attracts many tourists.

There are swimming, sunbathing, banana boats, windsurfing, yachting and other marine activities here, and the water here is clear and there are many kinds of creatures in the water, which is recognized as one of the best diving places in Asia. If tourists want to experience the lively nightlife, they can take a walk around Bangoura Road. There are hotels, supermarkets, shopping centers and various entertainment facilities all over the crescent-shaped beach three kilometers off the coast of Badong, where you can eat, drink and have fun.

However, the price of Badong Beach is also the most expensive in the whole island, and the price of several streets on the beach is slightly cheaper. The above-mentioned scenic spots are just a part of many tourist resources in Phuket, including Similan Islands National Park, which is known as the "diving paradise", Phuket Town full of Chinese and European architecture, Lavail Beach, Surin Beach and so on. Princess Island is a small island in the Andaman Sea of the Indian Peninsula. The island covers an area of about 1.68 million mu. From north to south, it has a beautiful white beach coastline about 15 km long, facing the Andaman Sea and surrounded by many small islands. Here, you can dive into the magical and charming seabed. Among the colorful corals, you can see shrimp and fish shuttling around, which is beautiful. The island is covered with forests and a small amount of grassland. Arrange an exclusive visit to the national protected area, where there are novel limestone mountains, valleys and rivers, which will make you feel refreshed.

As a national protected coral area in Thailand, the surrounding waters are a must for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. High-quality coral can be compared with Maldives, and it has always been a paradise for Europeans and Americans to spend their holidays and relax.

In addition, the fairy-tale coral world under the sea is waiting for you to explore.

Kata Beach

Kata Beach is much smaller than Badong and Kalong, but it has two beautiful W-shaped bays. These two beaches are nicknamed "Big Kata" and "Little Kata" by the locals. Kata attracts many tourists who like tranquility because of its calm and clear water, and there is a small coral reef in the north of Kata Beach, which is also very suitable for diving.
