Highlights
  • Phuket Sandbox By Sun Leisure World - 08:00 Hours (Morning Tours) / 13:00 Hours (Afternoon Tours) - Pick-up time at Patong. If you are staying far from Patong, your pick-up time may be earlier, or around 08:30 if you are staying at Karon and Kata. Join us for pick-up or we will start our tours from here and pick up other guests around Patong to visit Karon View Point. We will also pick up guests at Kata and Karon. Travel time to Karon View Point is 30-60 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Please note that our timing may vary depending on traffic conditions.
  • Karon Viewpoint - 09:00 Hours (Morning Tours) / 14:00 Hours (Afternoon Tours): Depart from your hotel. Visit Karon View Point to admire the panoramic view from the top of the hill. Views of Kata Noi, Karon beaches, and Kata Yai are easily visible from this spot. Locally known as Khao Saam Haad, meaning Three Beaches Hill, Karon Viewpoint is the most photographed location in Phuket and is an iconic vista featuring a sparkling blue sea, snow-white surf, white-sand beaches, the nearby exotic island Koh Pu, and the deep green hues of Phuket’s hillsides. Karon Viewpoint is a must-visit place in Phuket. Next, we will go to see Big Buddha, an iconic attraction in Phuket. Travel time may vary from 20-40 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
  • Big Buddha Phuket - 10:00 Hours (Morning Tours) / 15:00 Hours (Afternoon Tours): Big Buddha Phuket is one of the most important and revered landmarks on the island. The huge statue sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and, at 45 meters tall, can be seen from as far away as Phuket Town and Karon Beach.
  • Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) - 11:00 Hours (Morning Tours) / 16:00 Hours (Afternoon Tours): Visit Wat Chalong, Phuket’s most beautiful and renowned monastery. It enshrines the gilt statues of monk-hero Luang Pho Chaem and his assistant Luang Pho Chuang, both much revered by locals for their roles in quelling the miner rebellion in 1876. Next, we will visit the Cashew Nut Factory to experience local cashew nut farming, which will take 15 minutes.
  • Old Phuket Town - 12:15 Hours (Morning Tours) / 17:15 Hours (Afternoon Tours): A Sino-Portuguese town where you can see the Baba community’s heritage in Phuket’s Old Town, especially in its architecture, commerce, clothing, and way of life. The core of the Old Town consists of 5 main roads and several sois (small streets): Rasada Rd, Phang Nga Rd, Thalang Rd, Dibuk Rd, and Krabi Rd. You can have lunch here, and we will send you back to your pick-up locations after this stop. So get ready to grab some food.
  • Phuket Sandbox By Sun Leisure World - 13:15 Hours (Morning Tours) / 16:15 Hours (Afternoon Tours): We will return to our location in around 45-60 minutes. Guests staying in Old Town Phuket will be dropped off at their hotels first, followed by those in Karon and Kata, and finally, Patong and our office meeting point. Depending on your location, you will be dropped off at your hotel with good memories and a nice history of Phuket. See you again for another experience. Please note that our timing may vary depending on traffic conditions.

Great tour. Got to see a lot in a half day trip. - We really enjoyed this half day tour. Our tour guide Daisy was so friendly and helpful, she even rescued us with an umbrella when it started pouring rain in the old town. Would definitely recommend.

Great tour of Phuket - We loved our tour with Daisy! She was so sweet and shared so much information about Phuket and the places we were visiting - not to mention what a great photographer she is too! The mini-van was comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. Highly recommend!

City Tour with great guide - Our tour guide Fa was very knowledgeable and accommodating, and she took wonderful photos of us. The tour is a good introduction to Phuket. Fa gives the information while you're moving from one site to another, and she also gave recommendations on good restaurants and cafes. You'll be walking around a lot under the sun, so make sure to wear sunscreen.

Very Good Guide and Sights - Our guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. She knew the exact spots for the best pictures and waited for all before proceeding to the next item. The tour itself was what I expected. I would recommend this tour to my friends.

Ok. - The guide was very nice and kept offering to answer any questions we have but she didn't do much to bring the sites we visited to life, make the tour fun or interesting. It felt more like a taxi between sites and someone to take photos. In Old Town, she just encourage us to shop without any information about the history, culture, architecture etc. Could have been so much better.

OK - The tour was okay. It hit all the points promised, but overall, it was an average tour—nothing too special. Timing wise it was a little tight to really just stroll and take my time.

Tourist trap! - Tourist trap! We stopped at 4 crowded places for 30 minutes without guidance or indication. You could easily do it on your own. Furthermore, they texted me 10 minutes before the pick-up to inform me the price for the pick-up had increased and I had to confirm if I still wanted to do the tour. I ignored the message and asked for a full refund of the cost of the tour. I'm still waiting!

Shambolic - Picked up at 12:15 tour started at 13:45 after visiting other hotels. Guide, was informative, but tried to give a running commentary from the front seat of the bus. Could not hear most of it due to road noise. Stop at Big Buddha should have been for 30 mins. Lasted 50 as some of group late back. Kept waiting around for 20 mins by guide in +36 degrees rather than being allowed back on bus. At Wat Chalong all group came back to meeting point on time only for guide to ignore most of group whilst she continued conversation with another person of the group. People then wandered off to seek shelter from the heat. Rounding people up again took 20 mins. Headed off then to Phuket town in heavy traffic took about 45 minutes. Dropped off and told to come back in 45 minutes. Some in group decided they wanted to go back earlier so guide said to come back 15 minutes earlier, but by the time this had been agreed so of the group had already wandered off. Our bus back from Phuket town then took 75 minutes to get us back to our hotel. Total time for us on this trip was 7 hours and the majority of the time was spent on the bus in traffic. Overall therefore a not a tour I would recommend. Tour originally booked through TripAdvisor UK. This then went via Visitor.com then to Bangkok sightseeing.com to Sun leisure World ,Patong. In this instance therefore profit came before customer satisfaction.
