Why opt for  Vista del Mar, the designers and hosts of luxury Houses in Phuket, with the whole of Thailand to choose from? In our previous article you will have seen all the benefits that come with living in Phuket, the low cost of living, the beaches and natural beauty….. but lets be more specific here; what are our top 5 favourite places in Phuket?

1. Giant Buddah, Chalong: Built in 2004 this is a relatively new landmark but still  an esteemed monument. Offering 360 degree views of the island from a height of 45 metres it is definitely worth a visit.

2. Bangla Road, Patong: This is at the opposite end of the spectrum to Royal Phuket Marina! An extraordinary mix of nightclubs, restaurants, bars and shows, genteel and relaxing it is not, but it is quite rightly one of Phukets major tourist attractions!

3. Thaland National Museum: This museum tells the history of Phuket and the Andaman’s history and is the place to go to get all your background on Phuket and its people. There is a also an exhibition dedicated to the 2004 tsunami that claimed over 8000 lives in Thailand alone.

4.  Wat Tham Ta Pan (the Heaven and Hell Cave): Situated in Phang Nga Town this cave depicts the Buddhist journey through Heaven and Hell. You enter through a dragons mouth and leave through a somewhat sinister and gory depiction of Buddhist hell!

5. Of course we have to put the Vista Del Mar Phuket in the top 5 places to see in Phuket! Uninterrupted sea views , central location, luxurious and elegant villas built against tropical forest; why wouldn’t you want to be here!?
