Apply biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral reefs and reapply after swimming.
Carry cash for extras
Activities like parasailing, banana boats, or sea-walking are usually extra—small Thai baht on hand speeds payment.

These islands sit in the Andaman Sea, long used by Malay and Mon people for fishing and trade; Phuket’s modern charter industry grew from local boat-building traditions.
