Taking a two-day romantic adventure seems inadequate as the island has plenty of worthwhile attractions, from hopping on a peaceful beach to getting lost on a remote island. Here is a list of the 10 most romantic things to do in Phuket, Thailand.
1. Have a romantic dinner with an ocean view
Having an amorous dinner for two with the backdrop of an exotic sunset at Phuket Beach must be sweet. There are a number of recommended restaurants on the island, offering top dining from fancy Italian to traditional Thai cuisine.
