COCONUT PARADISE

An Exclusive Selection of Beautiful Holiday Villas
and Studio Apartments in exotic Thailand!

PHUKET ISLAND

GOLFING:  Phuket has many first class courses with standards of facilities undreamed  of elsewhere.  Caddies are provided at all courses, and green fees are surprisingly low.

SAILING: with so many interesting islands offshore, and warm sea temperatures all year round  - what sailing enthusiast could resist?  Why not try a SUNSET CRUISE?

DIVING AND SNORKELLING:  The Andaman Sea has some of the best dive sites in the world, including the prestine SMILIAN ISLANDS, with stunning Coral Reefs and Marine Life.  There are many PADI DIVE SCHOOLS nearby, with fees far lower than found in most other countries.

CANOE ADVENTURES: in Phang Nga Bay, where you navigate your canoe through narrow passages and small caves into landlocked lagoons!!!  A great day out and we strongly recommend it!

PHI PHI ISLANDS: are just a boat ride away.  Thailand's "Jewel in the Crown", these islands are what dreams are made of.  Visit beautiful MAYA BAY where "The Beach" was filmed.  Make it a mini adventure and stay overnight at one of the Bungalow Resorts right on the beach.  You can catch a Ferry from Phuket Town (approx 3 hours), or take a Speedboat from Rawai Beach (approx 30 mins)

TEMPLES -  Phuket has many Temples, but the largest and most important is Wat Chalong - only a 15 minute drive away, and well worth a visit.  On the way you could also visit the huge Buddha which is in the middle of construction, high up on a hill overlooking almost all of Phuket.  It's quite a sight!

ELEPHANT RIDING  or HORSE RIDING - It's great fun to visit the elephants and go on a trek up in the mountains near Rawai.  The views are great too!  Or how about a gallop on horseback along Chalong Beach (close to Rawai also)

ZOO AND AQUARIUM - both the Zoo and Aquarium are interesting and fun trips out.

PHUKET TOWN - is like a mini Bangkok and fascinating.  We have detailed a 2 hour Walk which takes you around the Market, Chinese Temples, old colonial-style Mansions, and the heart of the Chinese Quarter.

PATONG - Patong is famous for it's beach with every type of watersports, but possibly more famous for it's outrageous nightlife!  Take a late night stroll through the busy streets and you're sure to see some of the "beautiful" Lady Boys!

PHUKET IS WELL PLACED FOR VISITS FURTHER AFIELD - with excellent local Airlines, busses and trains:-

*   BANGKOK is definitely on the "must do" list - with endless places to visit, including The Grand Palace, The Floating Market, River Cruises and much more.

*  CHANG MAI in the North, with trips to see the Hill Tribes, and the famous "Golden Triangle" where Thailand, Burma and Laos all meet.

*  ANGKOR WAT in Cambodia - a very interesting and historical site with many Temples.

RAWAI AND NAI HAAN

There are many things to enjoy in our local area, and here are a few:-

RESTAURANTS - Rawai has many great Restaurants, and we will recommend all our favourites.

PROMTHEP CAPE - just a 5 minute drive away, has stunning views, and a perfect spot to watch the fabulous sunsets.

MASSAGE - Available either in Air Conditioned Massage Salons, or right on the Beach, or you can even have one in your own Villa - take your choice!

SHOPPING - there are small grocery and fruit shops locally, or a 20 minute drive to the larger Shopping Malls near Phuket Town.  There is also a great new  shopping centre, Jungceylon in Patong.

CINEMA - again, a 20 minute drive will take you to the FIRST CLASS CINEMA - showing all the latest films.

THAI CUISINE - Thai food is renowned for its quality and diversity - and for being as much a feast for the eyes as for the stomach! 

COOKERY CLASSES are held locally too, so why not learn how to cook your favorite dish so you can enjoy it back home?

THAI PEOPLE - there are so many good things to be said about Thailand, and the local Thai people are definitely to be included on the list.  Always friendly, always smiling - a joy to get to know.
