Phuket has a great share of picture-postcard spots. As the prime holiday destination in southern Thailand, blessed with a tropical monsoon climate and attractive land and seascape sceneries, the island of Phuket obviously has all the assets to provide amateur and professional photographers alike with stunning photo opportunities.

Even if it is a cliché, everyone wants to be in a picture with that perfect, idyllic backdrop and Phuket offers its visitors unparalleled opportunities to do just that. It has everything from exotic beaches fringed with palm trees to remote islands to heavily-ornamented Buddhist temples and Chinese shrines to the vintage neo-colonial architecture of the oldest district of its capital. Check out our selection of the best picture-postcard spots in Phuket and the surrounding area, below.

    Promthep Cape is among the most photographed spots in Phuket. Forming the southernmost tip of the island, Promthep offers a stunning 180-degree vista of the sea and 3 nearby small islands. A dirt track leads the most adventurous visitors to the southern tip of the cape at their own risk. At any time of the day, Promthep Cape offers splendid photo opportunities, yet it's at sunset that most photographers are likely to capture great picture-postcard shots.

  • Phi Phi is a group of 6 islands lying roughly halfway between Phuket Island and the Krabi coast. Despite its somewhat anarchic development, Phi Phi Don (the uniquely inhabited island of the group) still offers idyllic scenery at most of its beaches, with a few specific spots being particularly mesmeric. Koh Phi Phi Leh, the second-largest island of the group, hosts the world-famous Maya Beach, which was used as the main location for Danny Boyle’s movie The Beach in 2000.

    The Similan Islands may be a bit far from Phuket – about 119 km away – but no visit to southern Thailand would be fully complete without at least a day trip to this group of 9 islands belonging to Phang-nga Province. Remote and uninhabited (one of the islands houses a national park’s rangers camp at which visitors can stay overnight), the Similan Islands are a tropical dream come true.

    One of the most popular beaches on Phuket's west coast, Kata Beach has been frequently photographed at sunset. Part of its popularity comes from the small island a short distance out to sea and the long-tail boats typically anchored on the shore for the night, giving postcard-like photos with dramatic foreground elements while the sun gently slides into the sea in the background.
