Itinerary

Karon Viewpoint
10:00 : Depart from your hotel. 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.
Big Buddha Phuket
11:30 : 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.
Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong)
13:00 : 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.

Highly recommend taking this tour to immerse yourself in the beauty, spirituality, and cultural heritage of this incredible destination.

I recently had the pleasure of going on the Phuket City Tour, which included visits to Karon View Point, Big Buddha, and Wat Chalong. It was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Phuket. Firstly, the tour started off with a visit to Karon View Point, and it truly lived up to its name. The panoramic views of the coastline were absolutely breathtaking. I couldn't help but be in awe of the crystal-clear turquoise waters, lush greenery, and picturesque islands scattered across the horizon. It was the perfect spot to take some memorable photographs and appreciate the natural beauty of Phuket. Next, we made our way to Big Buddha, and I must say, it was an awe-inspiring sight. This massive statue, standing tall at 45 meters, exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality. As I approached the statue, I was amazed by the intricate details and the serene atmosphere surrounding it. The view from the top was simply stunning, offering panoramic vistas of Phuket's coastline and the surrounding landscape. It was a truly humbling experience, and I felt a deep sense of peace and reflection while exploring this sacred site. Our final stop was at Wat Chalong, one of the most important Buddhist temples in Phuket. The temple's intricate architecture and vibrant colors were a feast for the eyes. Inside, I was able to witness the locals paying their respects and engaging in prayer rituals, which gave me a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious heritage of Thailand. The tranquil atmosphere of the temple was truly captivating, and I found myself immersed in a sense of calmness and serenity. Throughout the tour, our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and significance of each location. They provided valuable insights and answered all our questions, making the experience even more enriching. Overall, the Phuket City Tour was an unforgettable journey that allowed me to explore some of the most iconic landmarks on the island. The combination of stunning viewpoints, a majestic Buddha statue, and a culturally significant temple made for a well-rounded and memorable experience. If you're visiting Phuket, I highly recommend taking this tour to immerse yourself in the beauty, spirituality, and cultural heritage of this incredible destination.
