Phuket Photo Spots<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Thai island province of Phuket is famous for its picture-perfect beaches, delicious food and vibrant nightlife. There\u2019s a ton of amazing places to take photos in Phuket \u2014 whether you want to remember your romantic break,<\/span> solo adventure<\/span><\/a> or family vacation. \ud83c\udfd6\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n

While most tourists who visit Phuket head to Karon Beach or Patong Beach for the great restaurants and party vibes, these popular spots are too crowded to showcase Thailand\u2019s famous natural beauty in photographs. But you can still find unspoiled beaches, with breathtaking azure waters and powder-soft sand across the island if you know where to look. \ud83c\udf34\ud83d\ude0d And our local photographers know exactly where to find these hidden gems!<\/span><\/p>\n

We easily connect people with trusted photographers for fun photo shoots and have captured over three million memories worldwide. The magic of Flytographer<\/a> is both the experience and the photos. Explore the city with a fun, talented photographer <\/b>and get <\/b>wall-worthy photos <\/b>to relive your trip, forever. Today, we asked our local photographers to show us around all the very best places to take photos in Phuket.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Naiyang Beach<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Naiyang Beach is pure tropical island vibes. \ud83c\udf34\ud83e\udd65 Most tourists hang out in the central part of the beach, where colourful beach umbrellas and palms shade a long line of loungers. \ud83e\ude74 But take a short walk along the sand and you\u2019ll discover quieter areas perfect for a photoshoot.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Stroll south along the shoreline and you\u2019ll find a peaceful area with an islet and local fishing boats bobbing serenely on the emerald waters. Go north and you\u2019ll find yourself in the lush Sirinat National Park, where the dense mangrove forest meets the sand. <\/span><\/p>\n

    This laid-back location is also ideal for swimming and snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters. If you visit at sunset, you\u2019ll get some great sundown shots. Cap off the day with a cold beer and hot Thai food right on the beach. \ud83c\udf7b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    2. Mai Khao Beach<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Mai Khao is the longest beach on Phuket\u2019s west coast, at 11 kilometres. This peaceful stretch of white sand starts at Sirinath National Park, where Naiyang Beach ends. As this part of the coast is protected from development, you won\u2019t find the usual noisy watersports and vendors here at Mai Khao. <\/span><\/p>\n

    While Mai Khao Beach is perfect for those seeking out Phuket\u2019s natural beauty, photographers love this beach for another reason \u2014 the thrill of watching a jet plane soar just overhead as it lands at Phuket International Airport. If you want this epic and Instagrammable shot, go during the dry season when airplanes take off and land over the beach. \u2708\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re into plane spotting, head to the south end of the beach close to the airport. For a more peaceful experience, start at the north end near the Sarasin Bridge.<\/span>

    3. Tri Trang Beach<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Tri Trang Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket. Deliberately kept undeveloped to preserve the natural beauty, this palm-fringed location feels like a little slice of paradise. Don\u2019t expect the usual beach chairs and restaurants; this beach is ideal for quiet relaxation and swimming. \ud83d\udc59<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tri Trang Beach is not ideal for sunset photography, as the sun slips behind the cape in the evening. On the other hand, dawn is a great time to capture a colourful sky. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Tri Trang Beach is also known as Emerald Beach, and to find out why, head up the hill. There are a handful of restaurants with outdoor patios where you can gaze out over the bay with its tropical green waters. There are also a couple of high-end resorts at the south end of the beach, which serve tasty Thai food.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    4. Kata Noi Beach<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Verdant coastal cliffs frame a secluded cove at Kata Noi Beach, providing the ideal romantic setting for a honeymoon or engagement photoshoot. Although Kata Noi is a public beach, access to the sand is through a<\/span> luxury resort<\/span><\/a> tucked into the cliffs, so it\u2019s quieter than nearby beaches like Patong Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The brilliant white sand and aquamarine waters contrast beautifully with the tree-crowded cliffs and clusters of dark rocks, making this one of the best places to take photos in Phuket. And a lack of crowds means you won\u2019t have to deal with random people cluttering up your background! \ud83d\ude18<\/span><\/p>\n

    This beach is also known for being family-friendly, with shallow water and gentle surf ideal for splashing. You\u2019ll find restaurants and shops nearby for snacks to keep the little ones happy. If you\u2019re looking for a family photoshoot destination in Phuket, this beach ticks all the boxes. \ud83d\udcaf<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    5. Phuket City<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Phuket Old Town is one of the most Instagrammable places on Phuket Island. Colourful Sino-Portuguese buildings line the historic streets, ornate mansions speak to the country\u2019s colonial past, and shrines beckon from hidden alleyways. If you\u2019re looking for some of the cultural experiences you\u2019ll find in the Thai capital of<\/span> Bangkok<\/span><\/a> or the northern city of<\/span> Chiang Mai<\/span><\/a>, be sure to take a day trip to Phuket City.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Thalang Road is the main thoroughfare in this historic district, and the Sunday Night Market is immensely popular with tourists and locals alike. The street is closed to traffic and open to local vendors selling fresh food and souvenirs. This is a great time to grab your camera and capture the energy and colour of Phuket\u2019s street life. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Nearby Soi Romanee is one of the most popular Instagrammable spots in Phuket. Rainbow-hued buildings and street art compete for attention along the narrow alley, and it\u2019s become a hotspot for photographers. Strike a pose and then pause for an ice cream or coffee at one of the chic cafes. \ud83c\udf66\u2615<\/span><\/p>\n

    Once refreshed, take some time to explore the spiritual side of Thailand by visiting a shrine. Wat Chalong is Phuket\u2019s biggest and most important Buddhist temple, built in the early 19th century. It\u2019s as impressive on the inside as the outside, with beautiful craftsmanship displayed over three floors.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Nearby is the Big Buddha, an aptly named 45-meter Buddha statue in white marble. Located high in the mountains above the city, the landmark is a must-visit and offers stunning views. When visiting religious sites in Thailand, be sure to dress respectfully by covering your legs and shoulders. A sarong is a good option if you\u2019re dressed for the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
