About this experience
Phuket is a treasure chest with gems that will appeal to everyone. And I will help you discover them! I will show you panoramic viewpoints and temples away from the tourist crowds. We will wander through the winding streets of the Old Town and explore the uniqueness of colonial architecture. And if you wish, I can arrange a fun crash course in the Thai language for you.
What to Expect
Phuket: Viewpoints, Temples, and Mangrove Forests
We will visit the Old Town: stroll through colorful streets, admire the Chinese-Portuguese style houses and examples of local street art. We will also cross the Stone Bridge, walk through the mangrove forest, and observe its inhabitants. Visit the most beautiful Buddhist temples and drive up a hill for a panoramic view of Phuket and the nearby islands: Phi-Phi, Yao, Maiton, and Tapao. Moreover, we will experience the authentic lifestyle of the locals and the 'sea gypsies'.
Secrets of the Thai Language and Useful Tips
On the way, you will have a short and engaging Thai language course. I will reveal interesting features of local word formation, pronunciation, and spelling. I will also draw fun parallels with the Russian language. In addition, you will receive a wealth of practical advice: what Thai dishes to try, how to understand exotic fruits, where to buy things at non-touristy prices, and what other places to see in Thailand.
