Overview

Private Phuket tour

This sightseeing trip takes us to the most famous places on the Phuket island.

Enjoy the drive in luxury minivan with music and video entertainment. The tour starts at the pier where you get by public speedboat (possible to arrange private speedboat transfer).

You visit several places:

Big Buddha is a 45-metre-tall white marble statue visible from anywhere in the southern part of Phuket. This impressive landmark is probably at the top of everyone’s ‘Must-Do in Phuket‘ and is jaw-dropping. The panoramic views from up there are breathtaking.

Wat Chalong, or Chalong Temple, built at the beginning on 19th century, Its real name is Wat Chaiyathararam, but you probably won’t see it on any road signs. Wat Chalong ( Chalong Temple ) is the largest of Phuket’s temples, and the most visited.

Monkey Hill and Old Phuket town

Expect to see a lot of Sino-Portuguese style shophouses on each side of the streets, small and colourful shops, some excellent local Thai restaurants, and lately, many young coffee shops. We also recommend to eat late lunch in Michelin guide Charm Dining Gallery restaurant for very reasonable prices.
