Thailand’s Phuket island is known as a holiday goer’s paradise. Sandy beaches, blue seas, tropical rainforests and renowned nightlife hold plenty of space for fun and relaxation. It is also a great answer to those looking for an adrenaline rush. From the smallest thrill of discovering the beauty of the surrounding reefs to the ultimate shock of jumping off a bridge tied to a bungee cord, Phuket can quench the thirst of any adventure junkie.
As an island, Phuket’s main sell is the seaside and that rings true for adventure travel as well. If you feel that lounging about the golden sands is too lethargic for you, take a boat and head out into the open ocean where the reefs and uninhabited islets await your discovery. Kayaking, canoeing, sailing and scuba diving are favourite ways to take a closer look at the beaches and seas. Back at the beach, surfing is another popular sport that amateurs as well as professionals can enjoy. Leave the crowded beaches behind to try windsurfing, kite surfing and parasailing.
Moving inland from the coast, Phuket turns green and mountainous and gives unforgettable vistas to anyone willing to go the extra mile for a good view. Biking and hiking are best ways of seeing the inside of the island without missing small details. Crags of rocky crops attract many mountain climbers to these hills but to get a bird’s eye view of the land take to the skies in a handglider or paraglider. Some regions also have zip lines across emerald valleys and horseback riding through the tropical mountains.
Thousands flock to Phuket looking for adventure and there are numerous shops and agencies that will organize your trip and rent you the equipment. You do not have to be an expert at any of the above activities to enjoy them, as trained professionals are employed by these tour organizers. But you should take care to check all equipment thoroughly before use and use only certified and well known rental shops and travel agencies for your safety. Staying at a sports hotel Phuket will ensure that you get modern comforts along with best standards for equipment and safety. The experienced staff at Thanyapura offer friendly professional services to ensure the best adventure vacation for you during your stay at this boutique hotel in Phuket.
