Phuket: Full Day City Tour with Night Market

2.Full Day City Tour with Night Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,888 reviews · 9 hours · from $31

Spend nine hours seeing southern Phuket with an English or Thai-speaking guide, visiting Karon Viewpoint, Wat Chalong, a cashew factory, Old Town, Rang Hill, and Chillva Market. The Big Buddha road is currently closed, so the tour may offer views of it rather than access.

“It was a nice time. Logistically maybe start earlier to avoid traffic? The timing at places was perfect. I think any time you can get out of the area and explore new places and not be responsible for driving, it’s a plus. I could have eaten an entire can of the cashews. I didn’t. But could have easily consumed my weight in them. Our guide was sweet and sincere. Helped me bargain for a new suitcase. Driver was safe and honest to God, I don’t know how he managed not to hit some drunk crazy tourists in Patong. Five stars to him!!! I’d recommend. It was a great way to…”

I felt very safe being driven by a very experienced captain. It was quite a boat ride to begin with- 45 mins at full speed but it was so much fun! The guides were flexible and changed things around to optimise our experience. We went to Maya bay first to avoid the crowds and it was a great thing we did- on the way out the boats were queuing to get in! We went straight to snorkelling in an area which is only suitable every so…”

Guides such as Koko, Kiki, Dodo, Coco Loco, and Cherry explain elephant care, while a Thai lunch, water, and hotel transfers are included. Expect mountain roads, mud, and a small group.

“What an amazing day. First thing - this sanctuary only allows 1 group per day, with a max of 10 people so as to not overly stress the elephants! That means that it's a few baht more than other sanctuaries, but it means that the elephants are better taken care of! Right away upon arriving we were allowed to feed the elephants some corn stalks. Then we were each given a bag of broken up sugar cane stalks and some bananas to feed the elephants. Next, we walked with the elephants up a big hill so they could get their exercise in & we gave them the rest of our…”

So keep this in mind while booking this trip. But still great experience worth the time and money.”

I get tired quite fast usually when kayaking so it was perfect. Our guide, A, was very kind and fun. A monkey jumped on our kayak and he helped reassure us and let us know what to do. He also took many pictures of the group and the nature and sent them to us right away. This way we didn't have to take our phones put and risk making them fall in the water. We loved…”

Our guide took high quality underwater photos of our experience for a small fee and were totally worth having to commemorate our experience. Thank you Viator for connecting us to our instructor and Thank you Ooty for the phenomenal diving experience.”
