Itinerary
We'll take you to a unique location in the Thalang district, that is home to a lotus pond that holds the biggest type of lily pads in the world (the Victoria Amazonica)! Here you will get the exceptional opportunity to stand on a lily or get amazing drone shots of you (and the whole family) on a long tail boat in the middle of the pond, surrounded by these majestic lily pads! *Includes drive time to the attraction
Wat Phra Thong (or Wat Prathong) is a temple that's famous for housing a half-buried golden Buddha statue called Luang Poh Phra Thong (Golden Buddha) in its grounds. The temple is believed to be one of the island’s oldest temples. It received a visit in 1909 by King Rama VI who at that time was still the crown prince and who gave it its official name. *Includes drive time to the attraction
Wat Sri Sunthon (Wat Lipon) is a Buddhist temple not too far from Phuket Town. One of the first things you'll see when entering the temple grounds is the 29-metre-high Sleeping Buddha sculpture, which occupies the top of the wat’s central building. There are also 9 smaller Buddha images in different positions – all facing the entrance as if welcoming you to this holy place of worship. *Includes drive time to the attraction
Wat Phra Nang Sang was built more than 200 years ago and is one of the oldest Thai temples in Phuket. This unusual temple was built when Thalang was the main city of Phuket Island and even was the scene of a battlefield during the Burma war in 1785. Everything is designed with mixed Chinese and Thai mythology influences. *Includes drive time back to your hotel

Wonderful experience! Paid $25 USD to have someone arrive early to be first in line for the lily pad photo, worth it! There were already at least 10 people there in line when I arrived at 8:04am. Nick was very knowledgeable and kind. He took amazing photos at every location. Would definitely recommend!

This tour is a must, and only takes 1/2 day to make some fun memories. Our tour guide Aom was great. She made sure she took plenty of photos of my family and I in all the locations. She is very sweet and bought us some fresh pineapple to try. Would definitely recommend.

I had such a great time on this tour with Anny. The entire experience was smooth from booking the tour to the actual tour itself. I went to a few temples and didn’t have to wait a very long time for the drone pictures. I chose to upgrade my tour by paying an extra $25 for one of their associates to stand in line for me so that my excursion started later. Anny captured some fantastic photos of me. She was super kind and always made sure that I was okay. The company’s communication was top tier as well. I would definitely recommend this tour and with Anny as well.

We're glad Anny captured fantastic photos and took great care of you throughout the day. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Anny, she'll be so happy to read them.

This was the best excursion we had in Bangkok. Natty arrived early, gave us a lot of knowledge about the culture and history, walked us through the entire day and was the best photographer! She went above and beyond on the photos, making sure we were hydrated and we enjoyed ourselves. She even made a special trip to take us to the pearl factory! Would 1000% recommend booking with Natty and the entire team!!
