Where in the World Are We?

We are in Phuket, Thailand.

PHUKET, THAILAND
Ocean bliss and wide beaches of indulgent opulence
Thailand’s largest island promises ocean bliss and wide beaches of indulgent opulence, with some of the
The country’s most beautiful and dreamily dramatic scenery. Head for sumptuous spas and perfect beaches, or
explore the streets of busy Phuket Town, which hum with markets, lively celebrations, and an endless chorus
of whirring scooters.

Phang Nga Bay National Park is a nearby treasure – a remarkable landscape of towering limestone karst. The
iconic rock formations are breathlessly beautiful, encased by theatrical inlets and incredible greenery-clad
rock formations. Heavenly beaches – where the sun dips to paint vibrant pink and red streaks across the skies offer intense relaxation, and you can indulge in rejuvenating treatments or take it slow to enjoy cocktails and glorious sea views while swinging in a hammock. Wander beaches where the only sounds are the rustle of folding waves and the gentle crunch of footprints in the sand.

Watersport lovers can rip across the waves or glide through the air while taking part in the various
adrenaline-pumping activities on offer. Speedboat tours give you the chance to feel the salty whip of the air
in your hair, as you whizz between secluded islands, and visit authentic stilted villages, teetering out over
the beautiful waters.

Tuck into a delicious fusion of Thai food – think crab curry and tom yum goong’s sweet and sour prawns – to
ensure this sensory journey delights your taste buds too. Lavish temples, Chinese shrines, and giant Buddha
statues add another layer of cultural depth.

Excursion – Phuket Highlights
We discovered the picturesque and historic landmarks of Phuket during this half-day sightseeing tour of the island.

Promthep Cape
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 50-minute drive to Promthep Cape, the Southernmost point of Phuket that has picturesque views of the Andaman Sea, admire the viewpoint, a lighthouse and the statue of 4-faces god surrounded with wooden and ceramic elephants.

Chalong Temple
We visited Chalong Temple, Phuket’s largest and most sacred Buddhist temple. Inside, see its renowned shrine, long revered for its molded-bronze images of three respected monks. Our tour continues with a sightseeing drive through.

Phuket Town.
Phuket’s Old Town
Visit Kio Tian Keng Shrine, located at Saphan Hin Park close to the seashore near Phuket town, has artistic images of various
deities.

After the visit stroll along the colorful buildings on Talang Road, a local refreshment will be offered to you.

Thai Performance at Siam Niramit with Dinner

We experienced Thailand’s traditions, flavors, and performing arts during this unforgettable excursion to Siam Niramit.

Thai Village of the Four Regions
We drove to the Thai Village of the Four Regions. Nestled adjacent to a small pond alongside the Siam Niramit Theatre, the Thai Village of the Four Regions offers a fascinating glimpse of the traditional lifestyles, arts, and crafts of rural Thailand.

Siam Niramit, Thai Dinner and Show
Following our visit to this themed village, we proceeded to a delicious Thai buffet dinner at Siam Niramit’s elegant restaurant, which overlooks the Thai Village of the Four Regions.

After dinner, we proceeded to the theatre for an unforgettable and entertaining three-act show featuring over 100 performers, lavish costumes, and stunning set designs. Enhanced special effects and the world’s most advanced technology are used to produce a very realistic, stimulating, and inspiring experience. Of special note is Act II, which offers a unique look at how the Thai people conceive the concept of heaven and hell. While heaven is so beautiful with divas and angels (literally) flying around, hell is quite scary indeed. Watch as drinkers are forced to imbibe from a cauldron of boiling water, and adulterers are compelled to climb horribly spiky thorn trees. The stage setup and special effects alone are spectacular and very realistic, with amazing costumes.
