Things To Do
Phuket Elephant Sanctuary
Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is the 1st ETHICAL retreat, a final home for retired working elephants, set on 30 acres of lush tropical jungle. Observe how elephants rehabilitate into forest life after decades of abuse, and experience how incredible the largest land mammal on earth is during a day at the sanctuary. In the Elephant sanctuary, you can experience elephants in the most natural way. In their natural environment, where they are free and simply wonderful! You can directly experience the daily life of the animals and you can approach them when feeding or bathing. Briefly: it’s a wonderful experience that you will remember for a long time.
The Big Buddha, Phuket
Phuket's Big Buddha is one of the island's most important and revered landmarks on the island. The huge image sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and, at 45 meters tall, it is easily seen from far away. The lofty site offers the best 360-degree views of the island, with sweeping vistas of Phuket Town, Kata, Karon beaches, Chalong Bay and more.) Easily reachable via a six kilometers road leading from Phuket's main artery route, it is a must-visit island destination.
Old Phuket Town
Unlike many Thai provincial capitals, Phuket Town fairly shines with personality and nowhere more so than its Old Town. In this historically rich part of town you will find shrines, temples (Buddhist and Chinese), ornate and beautifully preserved 'shop houses', quaint cafés, tiny printing shops, impromptu private and public museums and even a mini exred light district. A must-do in Phuket is a walk in the old part of Phuket City, around Thalang, Dibuk and Krabi roads. The beautiful architecture along these roads will take you back to the charm of a century ago.
Phuket Walking Street
Phuket Walking Street is a night market that takes over the beautiful Thalang Road in Phuket Old Town every Sunday evening. Also known as Lardyai (from the southern Thai dialect version of talaad yai, which means ‘big market’), Phuket Walking Street allows visitors to discover some typical southern Thai culinary specialties as well as local handicraft and gift stalls. This weekly event is definitely family-oriented with the presence of toy stalls as well as musical acts.

Junkyard Theatre
