Phuket: More Than Just Paradise Beaches
Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is renowned for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and tropical landscapes. But beyond its natural beauty, the island offers a compelling mix of traditional culture and modernity.
Travelers can explore majestic temples, vibrant markets, and the colonial architecture of the old town. Additionally, the island boasts a lively nightlife and numerous options for water sports enthusiasts.
Phuket also serves as a gateway to other destinations in the Andaman Sea, making it the perfect hub for those looking to combine relaxation, adventure, and culture in a single trip.
With this new direct link to Phuket, Air France expands its intercontinental network and reinforces its commitment to providing efficient connections to key destinations in Asia.
