Go Chasing Waterfalls
Another beautiful side effect of Phuket's relative large size and dense, jungle interior is waterfalls. Phuket is home to too many waterfalls to count, but its most famous include Bang Pae, Ton Sai, and Kathu. You could combine these waterfalls with the Flying Hanuman zip line adventure, or hire a taxi driver for the day in order to try and see as many as possible!

Eat Yourself Sick
It's no secret that Thai food is amazing, but Phuket is a culinary capital in its own right. Whether you sample pan-Thai favorites like Pad Thai and Green Curry Chicken, southern specialties like Yellow Curry with Crab (Bu Pad Pong Kuree), or Phuket-inspired takes on Asian classics like congee pork porridge and Hainanese chicken rice, Phuket is as much a paradise for your taste buds as it is for your inner beach bum. In particular, Phuket markets like Banzaan Fresh Market and Phuket Weekend Market are great places to begin your culinary adventure.
