| Phuket Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Of all Thailand’s islands, Phuket is the largest and one of the most beautiful, and although it has a modern and up to the minute infrastructure and all the conveniences of today’s world it has not lost touch with its ancient heritage. In this tropical paradise with wide sun-bleached beaches and warm waters where one can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving, and enjoy perfect wind-surfing, there are also magnificent temples that date back to ages long past. |

 DAILY BUDGET in PHUKET - For only US$16 – 20 a day a backpacker can have a pretty good time in Thailand, and US$31 a day, he/she will be able to enjoy a comfortable hotel bed, and some of the great Thai cuisine in top class restaurants. |
