What To Expect

Karon Viewpoint
Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel on Phuket for a 5-hour exploration of some of Phuket’s most famous sites. We start our journey with a visit to one of the most notable viewing points along the west coast.

As the name implies, Karon View Point is an elevated natural sight along the main access road away from Kata Beach for panoramic views over not only Karon and Kata Beach. Offering magnificent views over the various bays and beaches along Phuket’s western coast line, it is locally known as “Khao Saam Haad” (Three Beaches Hill) as visitors can indeed admire three of Phuket’s main beaches from this spot.

Promthep Cape is an absolute pinnacle of watching the sea and the land coming together in a natural way gives a new definition of a panoramic view with a high dose of awe and amazement. Located in the deep south of Phuket, sunrises and sunsets make Promthep Cape a much adored landmark during the day.

Old Phuket Town
A guided tour into Phuket Town brings forward the Sino-Portuguese style influences, and there is also an opportunity to shop at one of the local markets or boutiques. Phuket town was originally settled about a century ago by Chinese residents of Malaysia who were drawn to the lucrative mineral deposits. Tin and rubber fortunes created by the great rush formed the great Sino-Thai dynasties, which still dominate the economies of southern Thailand.
