What to expect

There's more to Phuket than amazing beaches. This trip shows off another side of the island, its colourful culture. You'll visit Wat Chalong temple, taste local treats and visit Thalong Road. Panya, a local expert guide, says “you'll see all sides of life in Phuket on this tour. Learn about our biggest farming industries, including pearls, cashews and rice, and spend time with a local family for some Thai home-cooking.”

Kick off the tour by visiting Rang Hill for panoramic views stretching across Phuket town and out to the coast. Continue on to Wat Chalong, the island's most revered Buddhist temple, and gaze at its golden statues. Then, it's on to see how some of the country's favourite delicacies, cashew nuts, are produced. You'll go to a factory and see how the locally grown nuts are plucked from yellow cashew apples, before being roasted and peeled for eating.

Next, stroll along the famous Thalong Road and see its blend of Chinese and Portuguese architecture and Chinese influence. Keep an eye out for an early 20th-century mansion featured in the hit Hollywood movie, Good Morning Vietnam. Find out about one of Phuket's most important industries at a pearl farm, followed by a tasty Thai lunch. Finally, it's on to a typical home where there'll be a rubber tapping demo, plus a quick lesson on how to whip up the perfect Thai curry.

The trip was rushed and after a 6 30 start lunch at 2 o clock was a bit late. The guide changed the day to have lunch last so he could leave at the lunch. The driver came back on his own. Would have been nice to spend 30ins in the old time rather than the rush round the block we had. Expected to see cashews process a bit more this is more of a shop.as was the pearl factory so didnt need to spend time there.

Enjoyed the whole trip but could do without the Pearl factory. It was a fully packed day and more time at the working farm would have been better.

Excellent day out with a brilliant guide. One thing that would have improved my experience was, as it was a 2.5 hr journey to get from my hotel to Phuket, it would have been a great improvement if we could have stopped for a coffee to break the journey up.

Koko päivän kanoottisafari Khao lakista

Phang Nga Bayn tutkimiseen on olemassa lähes yhtä monta tapaa kuin on saariakin. Mutta yksikään ei ole yhtä käytännönläheinen kuin tämä kanoottisafari. Pääset kulkemaan luolissa, laguuneissa ja saarilla, jonne ei pääse veneillä. Kun olet poikennut James Bond -saarella, pääset nauttimaan thaimaalaisen buffet-illallisen ja istumaan alas katselemaan auringonlaskua – luvassa on myös yllätys. Illan hämärtyessä näet, kun bioluminesenssi-ilmiö valaisee meren – ainutlaatuinen näytös.
