Phuket's Boat Tours
There are so many different boat tours to go on! The website listed here is one of the tour companies in Phuket. I recommend opening this link on a Google browser because Google can translate Thai. I am planning to do the "Koh Hong Krabi Tour, James Bond Island, Koh Nakhan Noi" 3 in one speedboat tour. This one is about $65 a person and includes pick up and drop of from your hotel/airbnb as well as breakfast! There are many other popular tours available around this price point from this tour company.
Phuket Elephant Care
Make a full-day visit to the Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary in Naithon where these gentle giants are allowed to live their final years roaming freely in a lush, tropical area with a big natural lake without being forced to work. Walk with the elephants through green forest area, plant banana trees and Napier grass, prepare a spa treatment, bath them in the big pool and prepare healthy herb balls. Full Day visits run around $200USD a person, and half days are closer to $100USD. There are a TON of elephant sanctuaries in Phuket, so if this one is too expensive you can definitely find something in your price range!
