Crossing to Phuket from mainland Thailand takes you along the Andaman coast, with limestone karsts sometimes visible offshore before the island's busier harbour comes into view. Patong's nightlife and Old Phuket Town's Sino-Portuguese shophouses offer very different sides of the island, while the Big Buddha statue on Nakkerd Hill provides sweeping views over the south of the island. Kata and Karon beaches offer a quieter alternative to Patong's crowds, and the Phuket FantaSea cultural show, along with the weekend Chillva Market, round out a busy first few days on the island.
