Phuket might not have the historical sites that Bangkok and Chiang Mai have, but it does have a few. Most visitors spend their time at the beaches and in the bars. The most heavily-hyped attraction is the Phuket Fantasea show at Kamala Beach, a self-proclaimed "cultural theme park", but comparisons to Disneyland are exaggerated at best.
However, Wat Chalong is a beautiful Buddhist temple located on the southern end of the island. Phuket used to be the important port on Indian Ocean, so it received buiding stye form China and Eurobe. There is also the history to be seen in Phuket Town. It is the Chino-Portugist building. Some own building opens their house to be museum and, of course, the sights and sounds of the Vegetarian Festival.
