Exploring Phuket 🏖️

#songkran2024 🐢 Maikao Beach is not just a sandy stretch; it's a vital sanctuary for turtles. These creatures journey here from November to March to lay eggs, and during Songkran Festival, there are special days for releasing hatchlings. 🦞 Near Ravi Beach, local fishermen reside, offering a glimpse into authentic Thai coastal life. Fresh seafood markets brim with daily catches, and charter boats are available for diving or fishing adventures. 🌅 For a panoramic view of Phuket, ascend to its highest point. From here, gaze upon the azure Andaman Sea and the entirety of Phuket's stunning landscape. Visit the 45-meter-high white marble Buddha and make a wish; who knows, it might just come true. 🕌 Wat Chalong, Phuket's largest and most ornate temple, is a hub of local spirituality. More frequented by locals than tourists, it houses 108 golden Buddhas. Devotees often apply gold leaf, seek divine guidance, and offer prayers. The temple also boasts a 61.4-meter stupa, offering a bird's-eye view of Wat Chalong.
