Itinerario
Karon Viewpoint es uno de los puntos de vista más frecuentados de Phuket. Desde aquí, es posible disfrutar de las vistas de las playas de Kata Noi, Kata Yai y Karon.
Desde Windmill Viewpoint, debajo de los álabes del rotor que generan electricidad para el área (su nombre oficial es 'Estación de Energía Alternativa Phromthep'), puede detectar el tráfico marítimo que pasa, desde botes de cola larga con sus motores de camiones convertidos, hasta los barcos de pesca que se dirigen al Andaman, a los petroleros e incluso a los cruceros de mega tamaño que regresan a Singapur. Cosas que vuelan El Windmill Viewpoint es también un lugar de encuentro para los entusiastas de los modelos de aeroplanos, así como para los delgados que viajan en las termas tropicales, y finalmente llegan a un aterrizaje elegante en la playa de Nai Harn. Muy arriba ya veces paralela a la colina, las cometas brahmínias y las águilas marinas se deslizan con gracia. Se le podría perdonar por pensar que con toda esta actividad aerotransportada, Windmill Viewpoint es un lugar lleno de gente: no es nada, principalmente porque hay muy poco espacio para estacionar. Aún así, no es sólo un punto de vista de la puesta del sol de primera calidad; También es un lugar atractivo durante todo el día, con el mar especialmente azul al mediodía.
Promthep Cape es uno de los lugares más fotografiados y quizás los más conocidos de la isla. Todas las noches, grandes autobuses turísticos, motos y autos privados recorren la playa de Rawai y suben por la colina más al sur de la isla para ver la puesta de sol en su punto máximo. En la cima de la colina se encuentra un concurrido aparcamiento donde los vehículos disgustan multitudes de personas de todos los rincones del mundo.
El Gran Buda de Phuket es uno de los monumentos más importantes y venerados de la isla. La enorme imagen se encuentra en la cima de las colinas de Nakkerd entre Chalong y Kata y, con 45 metros de altura, se puede ver desde lugares tan lejanos como Phuket Town y Karon Beach. El elevado sitio ofrece las mejores vistas de 360 grados de la isla, con amplias vistas de la ciudad de Phuket, Kata, Karon, la bahía de Chalong y más. Es relativamente fácil de alcanzar a través de una carretera sinuosa de 6 km que conduce desde la ruta principal de la arteria de Phuket, es un destino insular de visita obligada.
Los wats, o templos budistas, se encuentran entre los símbolos más importantes de Tailandia, en parte porque la mayoría de los tailandeses son budistas y en parte porque son muy hermosos. Solo en Phuket, hay 29 templos budistas repartidos por toda la isla. Wat Chalong ha brindado una cálida bienvenida a los visitantes durante más de un siglo. Los locales vienen a orar y los occidentales vienen a aprender algo sobre el budismo.
A diferencia de muchas capitales provinciales tailandesas, la ciudad de Phuket brilla bastante con personalidad y en ninguna parte más que su casco antiguo. En esta parte históricamente rica de la ciudad encontrará santuarios, templos (budistas y chinos), 'shophouses' adornados y hermosamente conservados, pintorescos cafés, pequeñas imprentas, improvisados museos públicos y privados e incluso un mini distrito de la luz roja. El casco antiguo de Phuket se construyó sobre la riqueza que se desprendió del auge de lata de Phuket del siglo pasado, cuando el metal era un producto extremadamente valioso. En este barrio de la ciudad, verás majestuosas mansiones chino-coloniales, una vez ocupadas por barones de estaño de Phuket de hace 100 años. El casco antiguo de Phuket es lo suficientemente compacto como para pasear. El mejor momento para hacerlo es temprano en la mañana o después de que el día haya perdido su calor.
Khao Rang Hill es uno de los miradores más famosos de Phuket. Ubicada al noroeste del centro de la ciudad, su cima ofrece vistas a la ciudad, al sur de la isla, a las islas vecinas ya lo largo de las colinas que forman la "espina dorsal" de la isla, sobre la cual se encuentra el impresionante Gran Buda de Phuket. Con un parque bien cuidado con área de juegos para niños, tres restaurantes y bares, un gimnasio y una terraza panorámica, construida en 2014, oficializando el estado de mirador de la cima de Khao Rang, el lugar es atractivo y ofrece a sus visitantes un aire fresco. la capital de la isla de phuket.
El mercado de Banzaan es una creación de una conocida familia de Phuket que buscaba ofrecer a los compradores una experiencia alternativa que no fuera visitar un mercado local típico. La palabra "banzaan" significa mercado fresco en Hokkien, un dialecto chino popular entre muchas comunidades chinas en el extranjero en todo el sudeste asiático.

We did a city tour in Phuket City today and overall the experience was underwhelming. The guide mainly drove us from place to place and only spoke when we asked direct questions. We expected a more informative, engaging, and lively tour, especially given this was a guided experience. At the end of the tour, we asked to be taken to a massage place and were brought to Mookda Spa, which felt like a tourist trap and not something we would recommend. It gave the impression that the stop may have been commission-based rather than chosen for quality or value. Overall, the tour did not meet our expectations.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Phuket City Tour did not meet your expectations. A guided city tour should indeed be informative and engaging, and we regret that you felt the guide’s commentary was limited. Your comments have been noted, and we will review this internally to ensure our guides are more proactive in sharing information and creating a more interactive experience. Regarding the stop at the massage spa, we understand your concern. When guests request recommendations, our guides suggest places commonly used by visitors for convenience and availability. However, we appreciate your feedback and will remind our team to better explain options and ensure guests feel comfortable with any suggested stops. Thank you again for your honest review. Feedback like yours is important to us and helps us improve the quality of our tours for future guests.
This was a nice tour, hit all the stops on the itinerary except the Bazaar. We didn’t get so much history about Phuket. We were the only ones on the tour which was a little od. Halfway through the guide picked up his wife who couldn’t speak English. Once he picked her up - he stayed sleeping in the car while she took us around. When it was lunch, we offered to pay for (and did) their lunch and he still asked for a tip at the end.
It was just the 2 of us on this tour, but wongsak boonkong our tour guide was excellent, he took us to all of the attractions as stated on Tripadvisor! Being a local his knowledge of the area was exceptional, also because it was just the two of us, we asked him to join us for lunch which was very special. Highly recommended and 🙏🙏 Soon!
Thank you for the review and 5-stars rating! We are very happy that you enjoyed this day with us and hope to see you again at Phuket!
No-one showed up to take me on the tour. They told me that they were 20 minutes late and that I wasn’t there. I waited almost an hour but they were a no show and they did not answer their phone the day before so that I could confirm pick up or the day of the tour. We tried to contact them at least 6 times.
Dear Lynette Bishop, You put Australian phone number in your booking and we tried to contact with you by WhatsApp and have sent you messages, but didn’t get a respond. Also we have sent all pick up details trough Viator chat. The driver with a guide was late for 20 min and we informed about that when hotel staff called to us, but when guide come to you hotel they didn’t find you there. Anyway, we had issued a full refund for this booking. We are sorry that this experience was unsuccessful and wish you only successful experiences in the future.
Lots of seeing and doing. Very extensive and for that money you really can't complain. Seen monkeys and can pet elephant. Only not nice that we are the only Dutchman in a full bus with Russians and therefore got no explanation. Also very strange that you don't get lunch when it ends around 3:30 pm
Thank you for choosing Phuket City Tour with us. Thanks for review and 5star rating, we are really appreciate it. Best regards, PTT --------------------- Bedankt dat je voor Phuket City Tour bij ons hebt gekozen. Bedankt voor de beoordeling en de 5-sterrenbeoordeling, we stellen het zeer op prijs. Met vriendelijke groet, PTT
Was an amazing tour apart from stopping to feed the baby elephant that was in a really small cage. We didn't know this was part of the tour. If we were aware of this, would never have booked this tour. Also, the tour is advertised as English Speaking tour guide but our tour was 95% in Russian which neither myself nor my partner speak or understand. This tour should be advertised as Russian Speaking and not English Speaking! The tour guide gave us a very brief description at the first couple of stops, but after that it was just to tell us how long we have at the stop!
Thank you for writing review! We appreciate it very much and delighted that you enjoyed our tour. Usually in our program and schedule no have stop near elephant farm, it makes only if participants asked about it. We apologised and hope will see you soon on another kind of our tours.
We booked through trip advisor using reviews which we thought sounded better than those you can book in patong town. Once all 4 other pick ups were completed in the morning, we soon found we were the only British ones on the tour, everyone else was Russian including the tour guide. Despite this, we were ensured that we would still be included by the tour guide providing the information first to us then in Russian. On multiple occasions, we were bypassed and not spoken to by the guide therefore missing parts. Most of the trip, the tour guide was more interested in his own personal phone than the job he was being paid for! The very worst part of this is experience was the surprise we were told about half way through.. we stopped at a side road to ‘feed and meet Bella’. Bella was an alone elephant cornered into a tiny enclosure marked off with scaffold poles, commanded to complete the same 4 poses for the tourist paying 100baht for a bowl of food. THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE BOOKED OR SPECIFIED ON TRIP ADVISOR BOOKING INFORMATION. We are not tourist who exploit such beautiful creatures so we were beyond furious. Secondly, the tour felt very rushed. No lunch was included which we understood but we were given no time to find anything to eat despite it being an all day trip. We therefore wasted our time at Phuket old town finding a quite bite to eat, meaning we saw little of the famous walking street at all. As previously stated, this was meant to be an all day trip yet we were back by 3pm at the latest, with the tour guide being home at 2 as he was dropped off before we were even back in patong! (Perhaps that’s not part of his job but we haven’t had that on the other trips!) Combining the parts of the trips which were not included in the booking information along with the feeling we were just constantly getting in and out of the mini bus all day, I would not recommend with this company. However I would recommend the trip to big Buddha, Buddhist temple and the viewpoints
Thanks for the feedback! We are very sorry that you had any misunderstandings with the Tour guide. Ussualy in our program and schedule there is no have stop near elephant farm, it makes only if participants asked the guide. We apologized for any inconveniences and will make every effort to improve our service and hope to see you again in Phuket.
Thank you Kim. Our guide is a very proud Thai and provided good insight to the Thai people and culture. The tour was one of the most comprehensive ones I found and it did not let me down. There was enough time at each stop and a lot of stops.
Thanks for the review! We are very glad that you enjoyed our Phuket City Tour. Best regards, manager Maxim P.
It is a half day tour. Visited Karon beach. Took pictures of Kata beach and View Point. Took pictures of rawai. Spectular views the beach are crystal clear. Went to Chalong Temple visited the Buda. Went to the nut factory. Also visited a gem factory and saw a video of how gems are made. Passed through phuket Town and saw the old town. It is a good trip to see lovely beachs
