Itinerary
10:00 : Depart from Phuket Deep Sea Port. Visit Karon View Point - visit the point to admire the panoramic view from the top of the hill. Views of Kata Noi, Karon beaches, and Kata Yai are easily available from this spot. Locally called as Khao Saam Haad meaning Three Beaches Hill, Karon Viewpoint is the most photographed location in Phuket and is an iconic vista featuring sparkling blue sea, snow-white surf, white-sand beaches, the nearby exotic island Koh Pu, and the deep green hues of Phuket’s hillsides. Karon viewpoint is a must visit place in Phuket.
10:30 : Windmill Viewpoint - just above the very popular Ya Nui Beach is perfect to take a nice photo of Phuket tropical sea; all it takes is a bike or car and a lot of blue sky. This hill located passed Nai Harn Beach is well known from the huge white windmill visible from the distance.
11:00 : Rawai Beach, at the south end of Phuket island, is not a swimming beach but offers beautiful views on the many nearby islands in a peaceful local atmosphere.
11:00 : Big Buddha Phuket - is one of the most important and revered landmarks on the island. The huge image sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and, at 45 metres tall, can be seen from as far away as Phuket Town and Karon Beach.
12:00 : Then visit Wat Chalong, Phuket’s most beautiful and renowned monastery. It enshrines the gilt statues of monk-hero Luang Pho Chaem and his assistant Luang Pho Chuang, both much revered by local people because of their roles in quelling the miner rebellion in 1876.
13:00 : Cashew nut factory - A tour of a cashew nut factory in Phuket is a must for cashew nutlovers. The Cashew nut is a native produce that is grown in Phuket and other provinces of Southern Thailand, and are relatively cheap compared to prices in Western countries.
13:30 : Jewelry Phuket 14:30 : Transfer back to Phuket Deep Sea Port

Hot outside be prepared and hydrated. Must take shoes off in some areas in most temples. Tour was great. Lots to see. Our driver (Sew-on) and guide (Malinee) were great. They were very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. We would do this tour with them again.
Our guide Marvin & driver Didi were wonderful. Showed us everything we wanted to see. Thanks guys for a job well done.
The tour was delivered as described. Our guide Mark was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information of Thai history and culture. The highlight was the Hindu Temple and the lovely Thai lunch by the bay.
Alex was our guide and I hate to say it but he was terrible! He spent so much time on his phone either in conversation or texting! We take lots of tours and this one was really bad! They say lunch is included but that is only up to 600 baht so for a simple lunch we had to pay an additional 600 baht…just wrong! Worst was the endless options of places he would get a commission at…He was really pushing a place for massages at 1200 baht each - we ended up canceling the tour early and went to a really nice spa where the reputable massages were 600 baht! We have never ended a tour early but this tour with Alex caused us to do exactly that! I would avoid this company unless you want to see just the typical tourist commission-laden stuff!
Good morning Thanks for giving us an opportunity to serve you at the same time we are really saddened to know about this experience, we will request you to contact us as soon as possible with refund and we also scrutinize this case immediately with utmost care. Our product is top class and anything of such type we do not allow to happened at all. We are sorry for any inconvenience but I am sure Mr.Alex would see the last day with us. once again we do apologies for any discomfort on your precious holidays regards
While on a cruise we decided to do a day tour in Phuket. Fa was our tour guide and we was incredible. She was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the area and the culture. While on the way to see the Big Buddha we wanted to stop and pet a tiger. She allowed us to make an adjustment to our schedule and we got to do everything we wanted while on our tour. We highly recommend Fa and this tour for anyone that has only 8hrs in Phuket.
This was a great experience. I got to see the things I wanted to see and avoid things I didn’t. The Thai lunch provided was awesome! The guides English was average but we communicated. I’d highly recommend this tour.
Last minute booking. Kim, our guide and driver was very knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough for us. We organised the visits to spend more time on places we wanted to visit rather than the normal list. He was very happy and helpful.
Our guide Maggie of Sunleisures World was fantastic. We recommend her to be the guide fir your next client.
