Phuket isn’t just the largest island in Thailand; it’s also one of the most popular destinations in the country. This has greatly helped the island’s tourism and economy, but it has lost some of its idyllic, peaceful beauty due to the large numbers of visitors every year. Fortunately, all is not lost since there are many smaller islands around the area, and they can be easily reached by Phuket boat tours.
One of the best examples is the Phi Phi Islands, which is an archipelago of six small islands. Only the largest, Koh Phi Phi Don, is inhabited; the rest don’t have any residents but are known for their great beauty. Leonardo DiCaprio fans will definitely want to visit this archipelago since it is home to Maya Bay, which is the filming location of the star’s 2000 movie “The Beach”. Aside from Maya Bay, there are many other beaches, lagoons, and other attractions to visit in the Phi Phi Islands, and you can explore all of them by getting different kinds of speed boat charters.
The Similan Islands are also another must-see destination in southern Thailand. Located more than 80 kilometers from Phuket, they can be reached by booking Phuket speedboat charter services and are ideal for both half-day and full-day tours. The Similans are a great choice for divers since they’re one of the ten best diving sites in the whole world. With crystal-clear waters and rich marine life, these islands will surely help you have a memorable diving experience.
Of course, let’s not forget other destinations near Phuket, such as Coral Island (aka Koh Hae), the Racha Islands (Racha Noi and Racha Yai), and the Koh Yao islands (Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi). By renting a private Phuket speedboat or simply going on a group tour, you can visit these fantastic destinations, see the best that Thailand has to offer, and have an exciting and unforgettable trip.
So beautiful islands, small and comfortable! We did not even expect this from Thailand; we read that there are a lot of people here. But it turned out that everything depends on the travel agent. Many thanks for the individual approach)))
We were in Phuket for the first time and thought wouldn’t go to this place, so many tourists. But next time we were with our friends and used a boat rent. It was amazing! We likes this kind of rest!
. I don’t like Phuket, so dirty place, but our walk to the islands by boat was a huge surprise for us – very nice and calm. I definitely like that part of Thailand. Just like in movies.
I really want to visit your islands and dive. I’m not a professional. I’ve tried it only a few times. Can I use your services?
Yes, I have a similar question. I have never dived with an aqualung, but really want to try. Do you provide equipment for rent? Are group swimmers possible or is it just individually?
I really love diving in Thailand! Stunning water, very saturated underwater life – so many fish! Specially fly here every year!
We really enjoyed riding on your boat! We didn’t dare to dive with aqualung, have not tried this before, but it is wonderful just to ride a speed boat!
What is the Similan Islands and what can you do there? Is it also some kind of tourist routes with an excursion and history or just a place to dive?
I really like Phuket with his constant tourists’ crowd, noise and crush! There is no time to be bored; you can always find entertainment for any choice! A quiet rest isn’t for me, it’s too quiet and boring.
To each his own. I like comfort, planned rest, so that everything is clear according to plan. Therefore, I always book individual excursions. I’m quite satisfied the Club Champagne service, they never failed me. I recommend it.
I always dreamed to visit uninhabited islands, look beaches where there are no tourists. Of course I watched the movie “Beach ”and I really wanted to visit such a wild island, only it is desirable without bandits) Excellent places! Stunning water and unforgettable sandy beach!
when can I go to the Similan Islands? I read that their visit is closed for the summer and autumn. When can I get there and what do I need?
We went to these islands a few years ago. Awesome place, really want to go there again, I never saw such white beaches before. Interestingly, now it’s also cool and clean?
Dear Daniel,
Club Champagne Phuket is offering private speedboat charter options for Similan Islands. For the upcoming high season you do not need to worry, Similan Islands will be available and the sea in a good condition for the trip.
I really love visiting islands in Thailand. Excursions aren’t so interesting for me, I need a beach holidays. Therefore, I fly here twice a year. Great place to relax.
I agree with you! These beaches and uninhabited islands – it’s just a fairy tale! And the sea is so gentle. But it’s very important to use sunscreen. I forgot a couple of times; the result was very badly…
We try to combine beach holidays and excursions. It’s boring to lie all day on the beach. I think we found a great solution – we rent a boat! You can go on a trip and also you can dive right from the boat!
I think Thailand is the best place for any holiday! There is everything here: and wonderful beaches, and a lot of sightseeing routes! Anything you want!
In general, I do not like just sit on the beach, I always want to travel, watch something new. I really like to rent a boat and ride it from morning till night. And when you find quality and reliable service – it’s just super! Thank you!
My advice to all travelers – find out everything in great detail about your excursions: who will a guide, what kind of a boat, how many people on the boat as much as possible. Such information does not happen much!
Totally agree with you, Jacob! This is especially true for Thailand. But we really liked the Champagne Club service! No unpleasant surprises.
I like to have a rest in Thailand. Here you can get a diverse and interesting vacation for a little money.
Oh! I have heard a lot about Maya bay and many of the stories have always made me want to visit someday. I think my Journey will be taking a turn to Koh Phi Phi Don next time I’m around Phuket. This is a helpful info here.
Thailand and her tourism. This has made the country a constant face on my ‘to-visit’ list. I have seen Phuket so many times that it easily bored me out the last time I was there. I think I will have to touch Koh Phi Phi Don, this time around to catch a new perk of fun in the country.
I thought i was the only one that knew about this. Oh! Phuket boat tour is one I want to go back to, I enjoyed the journey with the beautiful view. Then getting to phu phi island, I saw beauty redefined in nature,the comfortability is one in million. I had an awesome experience.
So i decided to go to Similan island for holiday as recommended by a friend, the beauty is unfathomable, I still can’t get over my diving experience, the crystal clear water and marine nature. I must say that this island is the best i have been to. Thank you similan island for a great holiday experience
I love this island, I must confess!
Amazing!
