From our house you can walk to various decent restaurants on and off the beach. The main attraction here is the beach although there is plenty to explore on the island with a car or scooter. There are waterfalls, bike and walking trails, viewpoints, shopping centres and of course beautiful beaches. Phuket Town is also a good place to visit, lots of great local cafes, restaurants and a few museums. There is also, of course, excellent diving off the island, particularly in the Similan Islands.

Our favourite restaurant is the Beach Cuisine, great location and good food and only a short walk from the house. There are also plenty of bars and eateries on the beach, good for fresh fish in the evenings.
