5 Best Selfies Spots in Phuket for your Instagram

Taking selfies and posting them on Instagram has now become an important part of a vacation, and this holds especially true for the younger generation. 

When you are traveling to Phuket, you will come across many locations that are Instagram-worthy. 

Phuket is home to beautiful sun-kissed beaches, heritage sites, and amazing restaurants and all of these provide a perfect background for your pictures. 

However, do remember that most of these are not free, and you might have to spend a little buying a ticket or ordering a drink to capture the beauty of the place in your camera lens. 

So, without further ado, let us have a look at the top 5-selfie spots you can check out in Phuket for your Instagram. 

#1 The Old Town Road

Well, if this reminds you of a famous song, hold on! We are talking about the Old Phuket Town, which is colorful, fun and provides various click-worthy shots. 

The houses in the old town streets are painted in vibrant colors, and those located at Soi Romanee add to the fun. 

Located near Cherngtalay, the streets are open from 11 am until 10 pm, and you can even find many coffee shops and restaurants here. Old Town Road is located 15 mins away from the Jantra Residence.

#2 Ma Doo Bua Café

A trendy and friendly café, Ma Doo Bua Café has a very traditional village background. The café is an amazing lake filled with large floating leaves. 

The lake has a central pier, which allows you to walk in between the leaves and capture a stunning selfie, with a picturesque backdrop.

The café also has a well-furnished terrace, and the low tables and comfortable cushions make it an ideal place to capture some fun pictures.

The café also provides an option of drone photos, which can be taken when sitting on a wooden boat or by standing on a large floating leaf.

#3 Mai Khao Beach

The Mai Khao Beach, which was once deserted, started seeing visitors, thanks to the attention it received on social media. You can easily witness planes landing very close to the surface, and you can capture a picture as if you are touching it. 

Though taking pictures when the planes are landing is forbidden, and the beach was turned into a huge playground, a few still manage to capture some amazing pictures that go viral on Instagram. 

#4 Phuket Big Buddha

Popular all around the world, the Big Buddha Statue of Phuket is a perfect place to capture some selfies. As it is a religious place, you might have to do it a little discreetly, and you are not allowed to wear shorts or short skirts. 

As per the security here, wearing a sarong is necessary here, and that might not look good on an Instagram feed. So, plan well if you are visiting this place only for a few selfies. 

#5 Samet Nangshe

Located outside of Phuket Island, Samet Nangshe is a scenic and serene location with an extremely stunning viewpoint. 

The place is a must-visit if you have a vehicle. Once you reach the parking lot, you need to pay a small fee to ride the truck that will take you to the hilltop. 

The place has two viewpoints, both of which are selfie-worthy. 

Now that you are aware of the best selfie spots in Phuket, make sure you visit them, and capture the best pictures, and share them with the world via your Instagram.
