Situated in the Andaman Sea, Phuket is famous for its mountains, rainforests and pristine beaches. The best beaches are along the west coast, where there are many different water sports on offer. High-end restaurants and spas abound here, and many of them form part of luxury resorts. For a bit of local interest, try visiting Phuket City for its bustling markets and old shophouses. The main resort town is Patong, full of nightspots, but there are plenty of quieter spots on the island such as Rawai Village, home to the local Moken tribe.
Flying from Stockholm
Stockholm Arlanda Airport is Sweden’s busiest airport and one of four that serves the country’s capital. So it is important that passengers flying from Stockholm with Qatar Airways ensure that their taxi driver takes them to the right airport. Sweden has a reputation for cool efficiency, and this ultra-modern airport is no exception. Plans have recently been approved to expand the airport to accommodate larger aircraft such as the Airbus 380, and with excellent facilities and a typical Scandinavian devotion to efficiency and quality, flying from Stockholm with Qatar Airways is a relaxing and pleasant experience.
Transportation and parking
There are several railway stations at the terminals. The SkyCity terminal operates long-distance trains to destinations such as Trondheim and Gothenburg, while local trains into Stockholm itself are frequent and efficient. Road transport includes bus, coach and taxi options, all of which run from various points around the city to the airport. Car parking is plentiful. Multistorey garages have direct access to the terminals, and there are also open-air car parks near the terminals. Two additional car parks further away offer economy rates and are connected to the terminals by free shuttle buses.
Arriving at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
Passengers flying from Stockholm with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 5. It has three piers connected to 31 aircraft parking stands with passenger bridges. There are also a number of remote aircraft parking positions serving this terminal, so it is important to check on arrival where your flight is departing from. Due to the size of the terminal it is also advisable to arrive at least two hours in advance. Be aware that during the winter there may be delays due to weather conditions, so again allow yourself extra time if travelling during the colder months.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities at Stockholm Arlanda Airport are excellent. There is a good choice of retail outlets, including exceptionally good restaurants serving international cuisine and Swedish specialities. Business lounges with fax and photocopying services are available in T5, as well as good Internet coverage.
Arriving in Phuket
Phuket is actually Thailand’s largest island, and is a hugely popular destination for adventure tourists and travellers wishing to discover more about this enigmatic country. A tropical paradise blended with a vibrant and energetic metropolis, it is also a big draw for entrepreneurs and business travellers, thanks to a burgeoning high-tech sector.
Book a flight to Phuket with Qatar Airways and discover the gateway to Thailand. Famous for its flowers and the warm, friendly welcome visitors receive from its inhabitants, there is also plenty to see and do in Phuket. It is little wonder that Phuket is usually in the top ten of must-see destinations around the world.
Tourist attractions
As an island, fishing is central to the culture of the local people. The AC's Phuket Fishing Park allows visitors to go fishing for arapaimas, red-tailed catfish, alligator gars, and Siamese giant carp. If you prefer to watch wildlife rather than catch it then a visit to the Chana Charoen Road Crocodile Farm is an exhilarating experience.
Thailand’s Buddhist temples and statues are spectacular, and none more so than the Big Buddha, a white marble statue on the top of Naka Kerd Mountain, where you can also get a fabulous, bird’s eye view over Phuket’s east coast. Another great spot to see those extraordinary sunsets is Prom Thep Cape, 1.5 miles from Rawai Beach.
For something a little more unusual (and truly mind-boggling), try the Phuket Trick Eye Museum, a gallery of 3D paintings and optical illusions. Siam Niramit Phuket Arts Theatre puts on fascinating plays and performances that immerse visitors in the local culture, or check out the truly bizarre Baan Teelanka & A-Maze-in-Phuke, a house that has been built completely upside down and with a garden maze that will keep the kids amused for hours.
Travel Considerations
Flights to Phuket with Qatar Airways land at Phuket International Airport, in the north of Phuket Island. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Phuket please check the visa and passport requirements.
