By:Michel Gerard

Want to break free from the stresses of the busy life in this modern world? Want to reconnect with nature and forget all the worries of everyday life? Perhaps, also just want to break off the boredom of stale life?

Phuket, Thailand has it all for people who want to spend their vacations in paradise. It is a God-woven haven waiting to be enjoyed by tourists and locals alike. The endless number of activities to do and places to see will make every hour of the stay memorable, exhilarating and the most fun anyone will ever have.

Whatever the taste for vacations is, Phuket is the place for all. It doesn't matter whether visitors want to experience serenity from the most tranquil wonders of nature, prefer adventure with the most exciting land trips and activities, or if the vacationers are a Poseidon in their own right, wanting to come into contact with the marvels of different bodies of water first hand. Any of these, perhaps all of them, can be felt and seen in this beautiful haven in Asia. However long or short the stay is, every minute covered will be worth the cost. All one has to worry about is to enjoy the whole experience.

If sightseeing is the activity of choice, the places that best out other tourist spots across the globe are bountiful. Seeing them by foot or by island hopping are both great ways of enjoying the beauty of the islands. Tours are favorite activities. Eco tours and nature excursions both bring people closer to their environment.

Examples of tourist spots for excursions are the Khao National Park and Khao Lak. In these parks, elephant trekking is a number one trend. Other activities are jungle safari explorations, bird watching, encounters with all the wildlife and, among the many. If tourists prefer quiet relaxation, there are services offering spas and other de-stressing treatments.

For the young at heart and thirsting for adventure, land activities will suit these needs most. Various parks and places offer just this: Adventure. In Krabi, the most famous activity is rock climbing. It can be enjoyed whether alone or with company. Other activities include the ATV and biking tours, allowing for a more intense and thrilling experience with the ragged earths. Land activities less physical and more sophisticated are golfing, excursions and trips, and eating at fine dining restaurants or bars.

Water lovers are no aliens, either. Phuket offers the best water-borne activities there are. Snorkeling in the clear waters of Coral Island or Phi Phi Islands or kayaking at the seas of Phang Nga Bay are only some things that can be boasted doing about. Rafting and water trekking experiences are best done in Khao Lak. If company is preferred, group activities like scuba diving, game fishing and speed boat riding ought to do the trick.

When the sun comes down, the energy and fun do not come down with it. Night time activities are still aplenty in the islands of Phuket. With the local cuisine served in various restaurants, dining out with family or friends is a sure shot for endless chitchat. Entertainment is also a bounty with the many clubs, nightspots and bars open until daybreak.
