I chose this tour because it had a hotel pick-up service. I was satisfied with everything, including the tour plan and tour guide. You get water when you get on the boat, so you don't need to buy it. The announcement said that Maya Bay is a tourist spot and there are about 10,000 people there, but it was true that there were only people there, so all I could do was take photos. But it was fine because I could swim at various islands after the tour. We were supposed to leave around 5:30 p.m. on the way back, but the traffic was so bad that we didn't get to the hotel until around 8 p.m., so it seems better not to make any plans after the tour.

This was an amazing experience and definitely must do in Thailand! Seeing the gorgeous elephants in person was such a surreal experience. We were late but the staff were waiting for us which we really appreciated. The Lady showing how the paper from elephant poop is made was super sweet too!

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Soi Romanee

Step into the vibrant past of Phuket at Soi Romanee, a street that beautifully marries history with modern charm. Once a bustling red-light district during the tin-mining era, today it’s a haven for photography enthusiasts and Instagrammers alike. Wander through the picturesque lanes adorned with stunning Sino-Portuguese architecture, and capture the essence of a bygone era. Whether you're an early bird seeking a peaceful morning stroll or a festival-goer during the Old Phuket Town Festival, Soi Romanee promises a delightful experience.

Thalang Road

Immerse yourself in the heart of Phuket Old Town at Thalang Road, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. This bustling street is the epicenter of local culture, especially vibrant during the Sunday night market from 4 PM to 10 PM. Shop for unique local crafts, savor delectable street food, and soak in the lively atmosphere. For an authentic dining experience, don’t miss out on Kopitiam by Wilai. Thalang Road is not just a street; it’s a celebration of Phuket’s rich heritage and dynamic present.

Wat Mongkol Nimit

Find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of Phuket Town at Wat Mongkol Nimit. Located near the vibrant Soi Romanee, this peaceful temple is a sanctuary of calm. Marvel at the large golden chedi and the beautifully preserved Sino-Portuguese houses where monks reside. The temple grounds are adorned with trees bearing Buddhist principles in both Thai and English, offering a serene environment for reflection and spiritual rejuvenation. Wat Mongkol Nimit is a must-visit for those seeking a deeper connection with Phuket’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

A Walk Through History

Soi Romanee's transformation from a red-light district to a vibrant cultural hub is nothing short of fascinating. Once filled with brothels and opium dens, this street now showcases beautifully restored Sino-Portuguese architecture. It's a must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in the rich cultural tapestry of Old Phuket Town.

Delightful Local Flavors

Soi Romanee is a paradise for food lovers. Don't miss Torry’s Ice Cream, where you can indulge in unique Phuket-based flavors like O-Aew and A-Pong. For a more traditional experience, head to Aungku Phuket Coffee Shop, known for its charming Sino-Portuguese design and Instagram-worthy floral decorations.

Culinary Adventures Await

Embark on a culinary journey in Phuket Old Town, where local dishes are a feast for the senses. Sample vegetarian delights near Jui Tui Shrine or savor authentic meals at Kopitiam by Wilai. For a variety of local flavors, the trendy food court on Dibuk Road is a must-visit.

Echoes of the Past

Soi Romanee's past as a red-light district adds a layer of historical intrigue to your visit. While the street has been revitalized, you can still see remnants of its former life in the abandoned buildings, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.
