Ko Sirey
Linked to Phuket Town via a small bridge, Sirey Island features hilly forest trails that
wind through rubber plantations. Along the coasts, you will find pristine views and
restaurants serving delicious fresh seafood at very low prices. Located on a hill, Ko
Sirey temple enjoys sea views and features a large reclining Buddha image in its main
hall.
Suan Luang Park
Also known as King Rama IX Park, this pleasant garden comes alive in the early
mornings, when people come to exercise and perform Tai Chi. The park boasts lotus
ponds and a walking path.
Rang Hill
Wonderful views of Phuket Town can be enjoyed from the summit of Rang Hill,
where a breezy, tree-shaded park also provides a relaxing venue for picnics, exercise,
or reading a book.
Phuket Butterfly Garden and Insect World
This conservation and research facility breeds some 40 unique butterfly species,
many of which are reintroduced into the wild. Visitors can also witness the stunning
transformation of more than 6,000 larvae into butterflies each month.
Tip:
Avoid walking tours at midday - the sun can make the streets unbearably warm.
Tip:
Try the iced coffee at Thungkha Kafae atop Rang Hill.
