Built some 150 years ago, the Shrine of the Serene Light at 72/1 Yaowarat Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Amphoe Mueang Phuket, Chang Wat Phuket 83000 is a little off the beaten tourist track, but well worth seeing. Perhaps not as spectacular as the Wat Chalong site of temples, the Shrine is nevertheless a sight you shouldn't miss on a trip to Phuket Island. It's almost homely, less imposing than other temple sites, and therefore perhaps all the more memorable.

Surin Beach is Phuket Island's equivalent of the Costa del Sol's Golden Mile. Its millionaires homes and 5-star resorts are legendary, as are its fine-dining restaurants and trendy wine bars. Surin Beach is also home to some of Phuket's most spectacular luxury resorts. Here you'll find the likes of The Manathai and Twinpalms.

The Twinpalms resort sits serenely comfortable just 175 meters from Surin Beach, about 25 minutes drive from Phuket Airport. Stylish and contemporary, it represents the modern face of Thailand.

The Manathai Surin Phuket is located along Srisunthorn Road, Cheng Talay, Thalang, and also overlooks Surin Beach. It's a dreamy resort made for spending your lottery millions.

By contrast, the Thai Muang Turtle Sanctuary is completely free, although the sanctuary is always grateful for donations. Located in Phang Na Bay, the turtle sanctuary looks after Green Turtles, Hawksbill, Leatherback and Olive Ridley Turtles, all of which live in the Andaman Sea. The sanctuary is open to the public every day.
