What to expect

This trip allows you to experience another side of Phuket. And there's more to the island than amazing beaches. You'll visit the famous Big Buddha statue and Wat Chalong temple, taste locally grown cashew nuts on a factory tour and explore the Sino-Portuguese Chin Pracha mansion. There's a visit to a pearl factory, too.

The tour kicks off at Nakkerd Hill with a visit to the Big Buddha statue. You'll enjoy views over Chalong and southern Phuket before continuing to Wat Chalong, the island's most revered temple. Then, for a demonstration on cashew nut production, you'll go to a factory and see how the locally grown nuts are transformed.

Next, you'll head to Old Phuket Town for a tour of the colonial-era Chin Pracha mansion, famed for its Sino-Portuguese architecture. Walk through town to catch a glimpse of how Chinese culture has influenced the island, before our final stop at an authentic pearl factory to learn about one of the areas biggest industries and exports.
