Phuket: Island paradise

Phuket - the largest island in Thailand - is one of the best tropical destinations for Beijingers looking to get away from the winter and lose some of those heavy clothes.

Connected to mainland Thailand by a bridge, Phuket is situated off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. You can fly to the island directly on chartered planes.

Many travel agencies in Beijing offer chartered plane tickets to Phuket during the Spring Festival, priced from 3,500 yuan to 10,000 yuan.
