There’s more to Phuket than amazing beaches. And this trip allows you to experience another side to the island. You’ll visit the famous Big Buddha statue and Wat Chalong temple, taste locally grown cashew nuts on a factory tour and get to stroll down the famous Thalong Road.
Kick off the tour at Nakkerd Hill with a visit to the impressive Big Buddha. You’ll enjoy views over Chalong and southern Phuket before continuing to Wat Chalong, the island’s most revered monastery and temple. For an interesting demonstration about cashew nut production, you’ll go to a factory and see how the locally grown nuts are transformed.
Next, you’ll head to the oldest Chinese temple in Phuket town, home to the colourful Jui Tui Shrine, for a look at how Chinese culture has influenced the island. Finally, we round off with a stroll along the famous Thalong Road – the historic heart of Old Phuket.
