Travel Around Asia - Phuket

By Arlene Fleming, About.com

TravelGator came up with the idea of trips to different parts of Asia. They looked at approximate airfares from Beijing, and included a few other pointers. The popular Thai destination of Phuket is the focus of this quick trip tip.

Airfares were found using the TravelGator flight search tool. Airfares are for one person return in coach.

Phuket is a popular destination for those headed to the islands of Thailand. TravelGator suggests the usual hiking, swimming and diving.

For the more adventurous, they suggest you hire a guide and go elephant trekking - $37 per person.

Or you could hop on a speed boat for a tour of Phang Nga - $123 per person.

Travel to Phuket from Beijing is a bit more of an ordeal - 10 hours on a plane and about $1200 roundtrip.
