Am Anfang steht das Unfassbare. 800 Jahre leibhaftige Geschichte, als wäre es gestern gewesen. Dann kommt die Herzlichkeit aus tief verwurzelter Tradition. Und Wunder, kommen die auch? Und wie, die größten, die dir je begegnet sind. Zum Anfassen. Und wenn du stöhnst vor Überwältigung, kannst du wählen: Paradies oder Party. Du bist stark? Dann beides.

14. Phuket
This morning leave for the tourist haven of Phuket, Thailands largest and most visited island. This island is certainly a brasher, more vibrant extrovert to the mellower sibling of the last few days. If a little modern pizazz is what youre after with your dose of sunshine exotica, look no further - this island offers a little something for everyone. Itll take about 3 hours to get to Phuket. When you arrive on the island, youll stop by the last untouched rainforest remaining on the island at the Khao Phra Thaeo Wildlife Sanctuary. Here you can drop into Bang Pae Waterfall for a refreshing swim and then pay a visit to the Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre. The centre takes in formerly captive gibbons and rehabilitates then for reintroduction to the wild. Operated by a local NGO, the project works to help ensure the continued existence of these furry little friends on the island. Then its another hour to Kata beach. Youll stay in the heart of Patong, where everything from shops to restaurants to nightclubs awaits.

Phuket is ringed with beaches, each with their own distinct personalities, from a party vibe to perhaps something quieter and more romantic. If you can pull yourself away from the beautiful beaches and curving coasts, Phuket also has a range of activities to fill your day, from Thai boxing exhibitions to cabaret shows. If you love getting out on the water and exploring the islands, then perhaps use your last day to take a day trip out to the stunning Phi Phi and Khai Nok, a tiny island surrounded by white sandy beach perfect suitable for swimming and snorkelling. If you want to spend some time with Thailands magnificent elephants, take a visit to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. You will get to see the elephants in the safety and security of their natural home and get an insight into the behaviour and personal history of each elephant. Perhaps gather together your fellow travellers tonight and enjoy a celebratory dinner.
