Tour holidays in Phuket, Thailand combining watersports, sightseeing, or property and retirement fact finder tours

Located approximately 862 kilometers south of Bangkok is Phuket, Thailand's largest island, which is often dubbed as the pearl of the Andaman, or the pearl of the south. Its natural resources- rocky peninsular, limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches, tranquil broad bays and tropical in-land forests contribute to making it the South's wealthiest, busiest, most visited and most popular island and province.

Staying on the island is easy, as there are only two seasons in a year - the rainy season (May to October) and the hot season (November to April). Visitors are not recommended to travel to Phuket between September and October as they are the wettest months. The best period for a visit, is from November to February, when it is possible to see the clear blue sky, feel the fresh sea breeze and marvel at the crystal clear water while lying on powdery, palm-fringed beaches. Average temperatures ranges between 23°C and 33°C.

Swimming, snorkelling, dinghy and catamaran sailing, windsurfing, jet skis, water-skiing and parasailing can all be enjoyed on most of Phuket's 16 major beaches. It's the place to be if you want to be active in or above the sparkling blue sea. Phuket is happy to offer you all kinds of water sport facilities as well as sailboat cruises for various day and overnight tours to the neighboring islands.
