ITINERARY:
We will collect you from your hotel and drive to Phuket's gorgeous west coast, passing through the popular resort towns of Patong, Karon and Kata.

Our first stop is Kata Viewpoint. From here, you can see three stunning beaches stretching out before you in the perfect picture postcard scene.

We continue to Phuket's southernmost point, as well as one of its most famous places on the island. Promthep Cape another stunning viewpoint - probably the most beautiful and iconic views in Phuket. The rugged cliffs provide an awe-inspiring 270-degree panorama.

We now head north, seeing our next destination from some distance away. Phuket Big Buddha sits in lotus position atop one of the jungle-covered mountains which form the spine of the island, smiling benevolently over Chalong and Phuket Town.

Now we follow the Buddha's gaze, heading to the island's capital city - Phuket Town. The oldest parts of the city date back centuries, to a time when Chinese and Portuguese colonial influences left their mark on the island's architecture. Many of these beautifully-designed buildings survive, particularly along Thalang Road, where you will learn more about Phuket's colourful history.

We continue heading north and deeper into the past, coming to the grandest of Phuket's numerous Buddhist temples - Wat Chalong. Here, you will see the gilt statues of monk-hero Luang Pho Chaem and his assistant Luang Pho Chuang, who are locally revered for their part in ending a miner's rebellion in 1876.

During our journey, we will pass many of Phuket's major shopping malls and popular outlets, including Central Festival, Big C, Tesco Lotus, Phuthai Souvenir Market, Phuket Pearl Farm and others. If you wish to stop at any of them to look around, we will happy do so on request.

Finally, we return you to your hotel with your shopping, a new and deeper understanding of the island and some fantastic photos and memories.
