This is the ideal way to be introduced to some of the cultural landmarks, iconic beaches, sites, and sounds of Thailand's largest island in just half a day. The tour is intended so that newcomers to Phuket will get their bearings, see the most popular sun-drenched beaches, the largest temple on the island, the extraordinary Phuket Old Town, the Big Buddha, and more.

Join us on the MORNING ROUTE that will take you to see Patong Beach, the island's most popular beach, up to Karon Viewpoint and an incredible panoramic spectacle of 3 beaches—Kata, Kata Noi, and Karon. Then at Promthep Cape snap photos of the breathtaking scenery at the island's southernmost tip. Nearby is another stop, Wat Chalong, one of the most venerated temples in Phuket. Admire the beautiful designs of Siamese architecture, and observe the practices of local Buddhist culture.

A further stop will be made so you can admire the magnificent statue of the island's Big Buddha. This is one of the most important and revered landmarks on the island and is highly recommended! The large Buddha statue sits on top of the Hill between Chalong and Kata and, at 45 meters tall, can be seen for miles. The views are simply amazing!

Lastly, head back to Phuket Town. Pop into a cashew factory to learn about one of Phuket's biggest sources of income then taste and shop for nutty souvenirs if you want before driving through the streets of Phuket Old Town to admire the well-preserved and historic Sino-Portuguese architecture of the city. Your outing ends at the biggest gems factory in the world where you can take advantage of the complimentary soft drink and the air-conditioned lounge, visit the factory showroom and cinema, and browse the enormous store with your own personal guide to assist you.

As this is a private option, this is one set price for up to 8 people running twice daily with all included at one price.
