See the sights of Phuket on this activity-packed full-day guided tour. You’ll set off bright and early towards Wat Chalong, the largest and oldest Buddhist temple in Phuket. Malee, our expert local guide, says “the complex of temples at Wat Chalong is a feast for the eyes with its intricate murals that tell the story of the life of Buddah, its pagodas with flashes of red, white and gold and the 60-meter-tall chedi as its centrepiece.”

There’s time to see one of Thailand’s tastiest exports at a local cashew nut factory before your guide will take you into the heart of Phuket’s Old Town, where you’ll see the Sino-Portuguese architecture this place is known for, with rounded arches over the doorways and detailed woodcarvings with Chinese motifs.

Afterwards, you’ll hop onto a traditional longtail boat to sail to Intara Farm, an eco-tourism site, where you’ll savour a seafood lunch before you get stuck into some activities. Here, it’s all about marine life – you’ll see how pearls are formed and hop onto the floating fishing raft to learn about the rare animals that can be caught here, like the painted spiny lobster, the archer fish and the black salmon. Next, you’ll navigate the nearby mangrove forests in a kayak, and learn about how important these wetlands are for the ecosystem, before finishing the day with a baking session – you can try your hand at making kanom kho, a local dessert that’s made with boiled rice dumplings stuffed with a sugar cube and rolled in shredded coconut.
