The beach areas of Patong Kata and Karon Beach serve as primary starting points for most Phuket tours. Luxury seekers often choose the Mandarava Resort and Spa in Karon Beach or Kata Sea Breeze Resort which puts beaches and entertainment within walking distance.

As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The Nap Patong was perfectly located - close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing."

Most Phuket-based tours run between 4 and 9 days with week-long itineraries being most common. The "Amazing Phuket Trip with Krabi" spans 7 days while the "Thai Island Hopping Adventure" extends to 9 days covering Khao Sok National Park Phi Phi Islands and Krabi. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "During my nine day stay, I got a taste of each of the main islands in southern Thailand - Phuket, Phi Phi, and Krabi."
