About this experience
You will visit the main attractions of Phuket: from the Big Buddha statue to the live seafood market, from the viewpoint on Promthep Cape to Wat Chalong temple, as well as five beaches and the streets of the Old Town! I will help you discover the Buddhist culture and tropical nature of Thailand, introduce you to the local cuisine, and tell you about ancient traditions. I suggest immersing yourself in the atmosphere of Phuket for a few hours and capturing yourself against the backdrop of breathtaking coastal views!
What to Expect
Highlights of Phuket
You will cover all the attractions that make this corner of Thailand so atmospheric and unique! You will see the Big Buddha statue, the famous Buddhist Wat Chalong temple, and the Old Town of Phuket. Here you will admire the amazing architecture of the main streets, and I will tell you about the history of this place and explain how Portuguese and Chinese motifs intertwined in its appearance. You will learn about Thailand's past, the main principles of Buddhism, and also get acquainted with local religious traditions: celebrations, services, and beliefs.
Day by the Sea
A panoramic tour is also an opportunity to visit five beaches in one day (Patong, Kata, Karon, Nai Harn, Rawai), enjoy the sea views, and walk on the sand. We will also visit several viewpoints offering breathtaking views of the island and the sea. I will be your guide to the most photogenic spots on the coast, and at Promthep Cape, the southernmost point of Phuket, you will take photos that will remind you of your vacation on the Thai island for a long time!
