Description
This is a small group tour with a maximum capacity of 9 passengers, discovering the beautiful destination of Phuket!
As you disembark your tender service, at the end of the pier, your tour guide will be waiting for you.
See the very best of Phuket on this guided half-day tour and discover the island's stunning beauty. Also known as the 'Pearl of the Andaman Sea', Phuket is located 862 kilometers south of Bangkok and Thailand's largest island.
Your tour begins as you board your air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic drive to our first stop, Wat Chalong Temple is most revered for the sacred relic that is kept here, a fragment of a bone of the Buddha. The temple has a long history of being associated with healing. Two former abbots of the temple were known for their knowledge of herbal medicine and their work of healing of local people. The Viharn contains statues of these two revered monks covered with gold leaf’s that local people stick there to pay their respect. Next, Promthep Cape. Delight yourself in panoramic coastal views from the Southern tip of the island all the to Nai Harn Beach. Also, on top of the hill is an elephant shrine which represents wisdom and strength in Buddhist teaching.
Our final stop is the Thai Hua Museum, located in the old town of Phuket. This place was the first Chinese Language school in Phuket, which was established by Chinese Hokkien, Chinese ancestors that migrated to Phuket. The building has a Sino-Portuguese style built-in 1977. The above was used as a classroom and the below was used for exhibition, especially in arts and Culture. Leisure time to walk around Phuket Old Town. Today, the Old Town is a testament to Phuket's history, but it's also the island's hipster heart, attracting artists and musicians in particular, which has led to noticeable gentrification.
After that, we will take you back to the port in plenty of time for your cruise ship’s departure.
