Phuket’s historical Old Town is small enough to explore in half a day, but culturally rich enough to keep you busy far longer.
Our tour gives you plenty of time to explore what interests you, but specifically brings you to Wat Chalong – a temple where you can learn more about Buddhism and local history – as well as a viewpoint at the base of a grand 45-metre tall white marble Buddha statue, overlooking the serene Chalong Bay.
