Phuket Island Thailand-Ao Por Beach nightlife, restaurants, hotels, shopping

Ao Por Beach nightlife, restaurants, hotels, shopping

Cape Yamu- Cape Yamu is made up primarily of villas in the North east part of the island. These developments include Baan Yamu, Cape Yamu, and the Bay at Yamu. These villa developments provide stunning views over Phang nga Bay and it’s many limestone islands. Some of these developments do have a rental pool so you might be able to rent a villa here, albeit not on a low budget.

Ao Por- Ao Por is located on the northeast of the island. Ao Por would not be the first choice of anyone visiting Phuket unless you had a yacht at the Ao Por Marina, or if you had booked a week of golf at Mission Hills golf course. The beach here really is not where you would want to spend your time with so many other nicer beaches a short drive away.
