Description

Discover Phuket's Pearl Island of Andaman tour in a half-day tour. Visit Chalong Temple, the largest temple. Stop at the famous viewpoint for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Phuket coast. Admire the turquoise sea that meets the lush rainforest. Visit Chalong Temple, Phuket's largest temple, where locals and tourists pay their respects to the deceased monks, including Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Rang to admire the beautiful works of art that adorn the temple walls. Experience the beauty and tradition of monks' blessings during your tour at Phra Yai or Chalong Temple. Your friendly guide will share how these blessings purify karma, create happiness and create good luck as you watch the monks pray, sing and pour water into the celebration. Next, visit the Big Buddha, one of the most respected landmarks on the island. The large image is located on the top of Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and at a height of 45 meters can be seen from afar to Phuket City and Karon Beach. The noble place has the best 360-degree view of the island with a wide view of Phuket, Kata, Karon, Chalong Bay and more. Explore the intricate statues and mosaics that adorn the site and keep an eye on the cheeky monkeys lurking in the trees. 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 and enjoy some popular and delicious flavors of Phuket's locals. From here, continue walking into Phuket Old Town, discovering the incredible Sino-Portuguese colonial architecture, hip art galleries, and classic cafés and restaurants.
