Phuket

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and apparently the most famous one in the country. When I was in high school, I already heard about this island; that it had beautiful  beaches. So when I had the chance to visit this place for the first time with my friend, I was very excited. My friend lived in another province, which is a bit closer to Phuket so, I traveled alone from Bangkok by bus. I arrived in Phuket Town at around 4:30AM.

I was also so glad touring around the site, seeing amazing animals that I had only seen in books and posters, and enjoying the beautiful landscapes.

Tourists around the world are hooked to the place and it has been recognized in and out of the country. But, for your reference, I will share with you my FIVE BEST things to do in El Nido town. #1 ISLAND HOPPING You may opt to choose Tours A, B, C, or D for your island hopping adventures. Tour C's route is the farthest and Tour D has the nearest route.  *For details of the four different tours, you may check my other contents here in my site. 😉  #2 Sunset watching  You may enjoy a little drink of your favorite drinks while watching the setting sun.  # or Chillin' at Nacpan Beach Nacpan Beach is pretty uncrowded compared to other beaches nearby the town proper, probably because of its distance.
