If you don't want to travel far by boat, then visit off-shore islands including Coral Island, Ko Rang Yai, Ko Khai or further to Racha Yai some only about 15 minutes away, others a little further..
Take a snorkeling trips with the dedicated snorkeling boat, or go leisure by chartering a private boat at a very affordable price.. Ko Naka Noi, on the eartern coast of Phuket, is one of Phuket's pearl farm worth a visit ( if you intend to buy pearl ) open not only to the visitors who want to learn about the pearl farming but also welcome those who only want to enjoy the beach and activities.. even can spend a night over there !!

If you want to spend a night or two on these islands, hotels and bungalows are available at reasonable prices.

Phuket is very meh for diving ... if you want to do some diving in Thailand better to go to Koh Lipe

Beautiful crystal clear waters, bit more laid back than Phuket though

No Soi Bangla on Koh Lipe

Koh lipe near Malaysia boarder right ? TS is in Phuket . There's many places to dive near Phuket like the Burma bank , confirm can encounter harmless nurse shark and different type of shark , with the occasional tiger or hammer head making an appearance

Wah lan eh... a drifter reincarnated become promoter of Phuket

 

[yinyang]

Don't eat seafood in patong confirm kana carrot head and not nice , go to rawai beach ( cheap , fresh and good seafood ) Rawai is not a swimming beach but offer beautiful views on the many nearby islands in a peaceful local atmosphere .

Yo, Rawai's laid back stretch with local seafood beach side restaurants without paying king's ransom. Good ambience. Phuket best to get a motorsai or car hire to discover island. Not easy to get lost, only watch out for hilly winding roads. Tuk2 or songtaew taxis are expensive to get around.

And do Puket town, quaint sights of old Chinese tin mining town. Makan cheaper than touristy Patong stretch. Go to Sure Garden at night along big longkang (river?) with coyote bars across.

 

[mulvi74]

Yeah koh lipe is 45 mins speedboat from telaga harbour near berjaya in langkawi

Water there is beautiful crystal clear

Yes , I 100% agree , that best way to get around Phuket is riding a rental automatic scooter . Wow , you also know the place near the longkang !! Usually tourist dont know that place . Last time , You also stay in Phuket ? Oh yes , watch out for big wind on hill and also must watch out for spill oil on those hilly road in the morning . I kana bike accidently because of slippery road .
