North Phuket is usually the first part of Phuket that visitors will encounter, whether coming by air or by land. That's because Phuket International Airport is located here, as is the bridge connecting it to mainland Thailand by the Thao Thepkasattri Bridge.
Compared to southern Phuket, North Phuket is relatively undeveloped with the locals still going about their lives relatively untouched by mass tourism. The beaches here, especially those on the west coast, are serene and quite unspoilt. If you want quietness away from the noise of Patong Beach, you should choose a resort here.
