About this experience
This excursion is for those who have seen everything in Phuket but want to continue discovering the 'other' Thailand. I will show you the provinces of Phang Nga and Krabi, known for impressive limestone cliffs and beautiful landscapes. You will visit Buddhist temples, caves, see a statue of Buddha, and enjoy the magical view from the Samet Nangshe viewpoint.
What to Expect
I invite you to a picturesque journey by car to the neighboring provinces of Phang Nga and Krabi near Phuket. So, the program includes:
- We will start our excursion with the world-famous viewpoint with a magical view of Samet Nangshe.
- We will visit 4 unique Buddhist sanctuaries: Black Monk Temple, Cave Temple with an incredible 15-meter golden Buddha statue, the newest and largest temple in honor of the current King of Thailand, Rama X, and the famous Hell and Heaven Temple.
- We will explore two karst caves that formed millions of years ago.
- We will make a stop at a scenic café, where you can enjoy a delicious snack, good coffee, and optionally feed the ducks for good luck.
Stories of the Land of Eternal Summer
I love meeting new people and happily share my impressions of life in Thailand. Therefore, there will be many stories during the journey! You will learn about the history of the state, the royal family, peculiar customs and traditions (for example, why you shouldn't pat children on the head or crumple banknotes), the local wildlife. We will talk about the daily life of monks, the mentality of Thais, their food, and religion.
