ROCS Guided Holidays Amazing Thailand including Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Phuket

DAY 10 PHUKET CITY

Breakfast and proceed for tour of Phuket. Start by visiting Prom Thep Cape which is one of the most photographed locations in Phuket located at the island’s southernmost hill. Wind along Phuket’s southern shoreline, marvelling at white sands, lush tropical flora and the unique vibe of Patong, Karon, Kata and Rawai beaches. Then proceed in visiting Phuket’s Big Buddha, this is one of the island’s most important and revered landmarks. The huge image sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and at 45 metres high it is easily seen from far away. After that, you will stop to visit the Chalong Temple, Phuket’s most beautiful and renowned monastery. It enshrines the gilt statues of monk-hero Luang Pho Chaem and his assistant Luang Pho. Both were much revered by local people because of their roles in quelling the miner rebellion in 1876. Next, you will proceed to Phuket Old Town. Today, the Old Town is a testament to Phuket’s history, but it’s also the island’s hipster heart, attracting artists and musicians in particular, which has led to noticeable gentrification.
