After being picked up at your hotel, take in the natural beauty of the island as you drive along scenic beach roads. Stop at a viewpoint, taking in incredible panoramic vistas of Phuket's coastline. Admire the aqua-blue sea meeting the lush green rainforest.
Visit the Big Buddha, one of the most revered landmarks on the island. The huge image sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and, at 45 meters tall, it can be seen from as far away as Phuket Town and Karon Beach.
This site offers 360-degree views of the island, with sweeping vistas of Phuket Town, Kata, Karon, Chalong Bay, and more. Explore the statues and intricate mosaics which adorn the temple, and keep an eye out for monkeys lurking in the trees.
Next, visit Wat Chalong, Phuket’s largest temple, where locals and tourists alike go to pay their respects to late, revered monks, including Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Chuang. Admire the beautiful artwork adorning the temple walls, and the peaceful grounds surrounding the site.
Experience the beauty and tradition of a Buddhist monk blessing during your tour at Big Buddha or Wat Chalong. Your guide will share how these blessings clean your karma, create happiness, and breed good luck as you watch monks chant, sing and pour water in celebration.
After a quick stop at a cashew nut grove, soak up some of the local culture with a tour of Phuket Town. Enjoy a stop at a local food stall to try out some delicious local flavors.
Continue walking into Phuket's Old Town, discovering the incredible Sino-Portuguese colonial architecture, hip art galleries, and classic cafés and restaurants. Get dropped off back at your hotel at the end of the tour.
