A low-slung minibus eases out of a hotel driveway and follows the ribbon of coast road; palms lean toward the Andaman Sea as view points open up to strips of sand and turquoise beyond. Travelers spend the day stepping between scale—vistas that sweep from Kata, Karon and Patong beaches to the calm, contemplative stone of Phuket’s Big Buddha—and texture: temple tiles, colonial façades and roadside cashew stalls.
