About this experience
Phuket is a kaleidoscope of fantastic landscapes and unusual places. In one day with me, you will discover and explore the most amazing parts of the island. We will walk around Phuket Town, visit the God of Death temple and Wat Chalong, and climb up to the Big Buddha. We will relax on magical beaches and enjoy the best panoramas from several viewpoints.
What to Expect
Phuket Town and God of Death Temple
We will visit Old Town and admire its colorful Chinese-Portuguese architecture. From Khao Rang Mountain, we will overlook the city. We will visit the unusual God of Death temple, guarded by fierce demon Yakshas at the entrance. Experience Chinese culture at the main Chinese temple Jui Tui and the ancient shrine of the Serene Light.
Visiting Buddha
We will head to Phuket's main attraction - the Big Buddha hill. At the temple located next to the statue, there are often services with chanting of mantras. Local monks will tie a Sai Sin string on your wrist for wish fulfillment. We will also visit another famous temple complex - Wat Chalong. Its Phra Mahathat Chedi houses a particle of Buddha in a glass sphere.
Viewpoints
We will visit places where we can see the most enchanting island panoramas. From the Kao Kad tower, we will see views of Phuket Town, Chalong Bay, Rawai Pier, and the Ko Sire Island, home to sea gypsies. We will go to Promthep Cape - the southernmost point of Phuket. From the Karon viewpoint, we will see three beaches, the Andaman Sea, and the jungles. And from the Windmill viewpoint, we will see the uninhabited Koh Man Island.
We will visit several beaches, including Ao Sane with peculiar rocks - an ideal place for photoshoots. And for a snack, we will stop at one of the best Thai restaurants on the island.
