Itinerario
Karon Viewpoint è uno dei punti di vista più frequentati di Phuket. Da qui è possibile ammirare le spiagge di Kata Noi, Kata Yai e Karon.
Dal Windmill Viewpoint, al di sotto delle pale del rotore che generano elettricità per l'area (il suo nome ufficiale è la "stazione dell'energia alternativa di Phromthep"), è possibile individuare il traffico marittimo di passaggio, che va dalle barche a coda lunga con i loro lunghi motori le barche da pesca che si dirigono verso le Andamane, verso le petroliere e persino le navi da crociera di dimensioni gigantesche che arrivano e tornano a Singapore. Cose volanti Windmill Viewpoint è anche un punto di ritrovo per gli appassionati di aeroplani di modelli e di deltaplano che cavalcano le termiche tropicali, arrivando infine ad un atterraggio aggraziato a Nai Harn Beach. Molto al di sopra e talvolta parallelo alla collina, gli aquiloni di Brahminy e le aquile di mare scivolano dolcemente accanto. Potresti essere perdonato per aver pensato che con tutta questa attività aerea Windmill Viewpoint è un luogo affollato: è tutto tranne che, soprattutto perché c'è poco spazio per parcheggiare. Eppure, non è solo un punto di osservazione del tramonto premium; è anche un posto attraente tutto il giorno con il mare particolarmente azzurro a mezzogiorno.
Promthep Cape è una delle località più fotografate e forse più conosciute dell'isola. Ogni sera grandi autobus turistici, motorini e auto private passano attraverso Rawai Beach e su per la collina più meridionale dell'isola per ammirare il tramonto al suo apice. Sulla cima della collina si trova un parcheggio affollato dove i veicoli sgomitano folle di persone da ogni angolo del mondo.
(riapre da marzo 2026) Il Grande Buddha di Phuket è uno dei monumenti più importanti e venerati dell'isola. L'enorme immagine si trova in cima alle colline Nakkerd tra Chalong e Kata e, a 45 metri di altezza, può essere vista da lontano fino alla città di Phuket e alla spiaggia di Karon. L'alto sito offre le migliori viste a 360 gradi dell'isola, con ampie viste sulla città di Phuket, Kata, Karon, Chalong Bay e altro ancora. Relativamente facilmente raggiungibile tramite una strada tortuosa di 6 km che conduce dalla principale arteria di Phuket, è una destinazione dell'isola da visitare assolutamente.
Wats - o templi buddisti - sono tra i simboli più importanti della Thailandia, in parte perché la maggioranza dei thailandesi sono buddisti e in parte perché sono così belli. Solo a Phuket ci sono 29 templi buddisti sparsi per l'isola. Wat Chalong ha dato un caloroso benvenuto ai visitatori per oltre un secolo. La gente del posto viene a pregare e gli occidentali vengono per imparare qualcosa sul buddismo.
A differenza di molte capitali provinciali thailandesi, Phuket Town brilla di personalità e in nessun altro luogo rispetto al suo centro storico. In questa parte della città ricca di storia troverai santuari, templi (buddisti e cinesi), 'shophouses' decorati e splendidamente conservati, caffè pittoreschi, piccoli negozi di stampa, estemporanei musei pubblici e privati e persino un mini quartiere a luci rosse. La città vecchia di Phuket fu costruita sulle ricchezze raccolte dal boom dello stagno di Phuket del secolo scorso, quando il metallo era un bene estremamente prezioso. In questo quartiere della città vedrete grandiose ville sino-coloniali, un tempo occupate dai baroni di latta di Phuket di 100 anni fa. Il centro storico di Phuket è abbastanza compatto per passeggiare. Il momento migliore per farlo è la mattina presto o dopo che la giornata ha perso il suo calore.
Khao Rang Hill è uno dei punti panoramici più famosi di Phuket. Situata a nord-ovest del centro della città, la sua vetta offre una vista sulla città, a sud dell'isola, sulle isole vicine e lungo le colline che formano la "spina dorsale" dell'isola, sulla quale si trova l'imponente Grande Buddha di Phuket. Dotato di un bel parco paesaggistico con parco giochi per bambini, tre ristoranti e bar, un parco fitness e una terrazza panoramica - costruita nel 2014 - che ufficializza lo status di veduta della vetta di Khao Rang, il posto è attraente e offre ai visitatori una boccata d'aria fresca in la capitale dell'isola di Phuket.
Il mercato Banzaan è nato da un'idea di una nota famiglia di Phuket che ha cercato di offrire agli acquirenti un'esperienza alternativa oltre a visitare un tipico mercato locale. La parola "banzaan" significa nuovo mercato in Hokkien, un dialetto cinese popolare tra molte comunità cinesi all'estero nel sud-est asiatico.

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
Thanks for the review! We are very glad that you enjoyed our tour. Best regards, manager Maxim P.
