Welcome to Phuket, the pearl of the Andaman!, I'm excited to share my experience with you. When I arrived in Phuket, I knew I wanted to make the most of my time there, so I booked a city tour to explore the top attractions. However, I arrived after dark and decided to plan for the next day instead of going out.
The following day, I embarked on a city tour that included the stunning Karon View Point, where I was able to capture breathtaking views of Kata Not, Kata, and Karon beaches. Next, I visited the iconic Big Buddha, which was even more enjoyable as I opted for an early morning tour, with just one more person in my group, and no crowds at the famous tourist sites.
We also visited Wat Chalong, a significant temple in Phuket, which features a statue of a famous local who had won numerous lotteries after seeking advice from the Poh Than Jao Wat statue. Watching the lottery ritual was fascinating and added to the cultural experience.
The tour also included visits to a cashew factory and a honey factory, which I felt were not worth my time. However, the final stop of the tour, the Old Town, was the highlight of my day. It has its own unique vibe, but due to time constraints, I couldn't fully enjoy it. I plan to visit again in the future.
As I was booking the city tour, I stumbled upon an activity brochure for Hanuman World, a thrilling zipline experience in the forest. I opted for the smallest package and was blown away by the experience. The safety measures they took made it a fear-free experience that I wish I had booked a larger package. If you're an adventure seeker, I highly recommend checking it out!
Lastly, I explored the vibrant Patong Beach area at night and during the day. The streets were lively and colourful, but I preferred the beach during the day. If you're into nightlife and beach activities, Patong Beach is a must-visit destination.
If you're planning a trip to Thailand and want to experience the best of Phuket, be sure to include these activities in your itinerary.
