Local real estate agents say the Andaman Sea area, which has become known as the "Asian Riviera" has been rated as having some of the best diving, sailing and golfing in Asia. In addition, the natural features - both on land and in the water - are among the most exquisite in the world.

The area has also quickly become known for a number of trendy eateries and clubs which surround the complexes of luxury villas. Among the very top-notch clubs include the Catch Beach Club and the very hip Stereo Lab. The island of Phuket also has some of the premiere shopping on the continent.
