"Where to go for a 3-day, 2-night trip?" Today, I'd like to talk about Phuket from my perspective. "Phuket" is a province that I travel to frequently throughout the year. It's a place I've fallen in love with without even realizing it. So, what makes Phuket so special that I visit so often? It has everything! From delicious southern and local cuisine to a beautiful old town perfect for strolling and snapping photos, there are countless cafes and coffee shops to relax in. And let's not forget about the stunning natural scenery. Crystal-clear waters, breathtaking viewpoints along the bays, and numerous islands with incredible diving and snorkeling opportunities. The smaller islands surrounding the main island of Phuket are equally beautiful, such as Koh Hey, Koh Racha, Koh Maphrao, and many more.

No matter your style, whether you're a chill, coffee, nature, selfie, or party person, Phuket has something for everyone.
