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.
