Phuket
Limestone islands rising out of the bay like something drawn rather than eroded, a nightlife strip with a well-earned reputation and a quiet coast to escape to when you have had enough of it, and a beach for every mood on the same island.
The best time to visit Phuket is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (88°F). Local time there is 17:52 (UTC+7).
