Wat Chalong, officially known as Wat Chaiyathararam, is Phuket's largest and most revered Buddhist temple. Established in the early 19th century, it honors esteemed monks Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Pho Chuang, renowned for aiding locals during the 1876 tin miners' rebellion with their herbal medicine expertise. The temple's centerpiece is a 60-meter-tall chedi housing a fragment of Lord Buddha's bone, adorned with intricate paintings depicting his life. Visitors can explore multiple levels of the chedi, culminating in panoramic views of the temple grounds from the top terrace.
Journey to the summit of Nakkerd Hill to marvel at Phuket’s iconic Big Buddha, a majestic marble statue that stands as a symbol of peace and faith. This colossal monument not only offers a deeply spiritual experience but also serves as one of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints. From here, enjoy breathtaking 360° panoramas of Phuket’s lush hills, glittering bays, and distant beaches—perfect for unforgettable photos. Important Update: Please note that the main Big Buddha area remains closed following a landslide in August 2024. For safety reasons, access to the statue’s base and main grounds is temporarily restricted. However, visitors can still drive up to the top of the hill to view the statue’s rear side and take in the sweeping island vistas from a nearby open area, which includes a parking lot and a small snack bar.
Old Phuket Town is a captivating district that showcases the island's rich cultural heritage and architectural beauty. As you stroll through its streets, you'll encounter well-preserved Sino-Portuguese shophouses, vibrant street art, and an array of temples and museums. Key thoroughfares like Thalang Road, Dibuk Road, and Soi Romanee are particularly notable for their colorful facades and historical significance. This walking tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Phuket's diverse history and enjoy its charming blend of old-world and modern attractions.
Khao Rang Hill, also known as Rang Hill, is a popular viewpoint located in the heart of Phuket Town. It offers panoramic vistas over the town, extending to the southern part of the island and even the iconic Big Buddha statue. The hill features a newly constructed gazebo and viewing platform, enhancing the experience for visitors seeking a scenic spot for relaxation or photography. Additionally, Khao Rang Hill is home to several restaurants where guests can enjoy local cuisine while taking in the breathtaking views
Enjoy a short stop where you can browse a selection of local handicrafts and traditional Thai souvenirs. This break gives you time to explore locally made products and unique gifts inspired by Phuket’s culture before continuing the tour.
Annie, the guide was very friendly and kind. The ride from Marriott Phuket was long and somewhat windy… our grandson got seasick and Annie provided her jacket for him to wear. The trip to see the old town Phuket was interesting.. viewed the great Buddha then to old town to shop. Variety of inexpensive items to be bought. We decided to cut the trip short. All in all we thank Annie for her service.
Smile face and controls good and good gaiding and good communication
I like tour guade with this person
Seen and Mr.Sak so great. We enjoy to travel today. Both are very friendly .
Ora is amazing and she really made our trip memorable and very interesting, yes she talks a lot but it is really entertaining and fun to interact
It was a really nice experience that didn't overstay its welcome, well, the visit to the Old Town could have used at least half an hour more, but other than that it was fine and not even that expensive. The guide was very friendly and talkative, and that also matters.
Very good place bless full I hav been enjoying my holiday
The tour guide while a little hard understand her accent was excellent. The driver did a good job and it was excellent value for money.
Seen was great with all the information she gave us.
We had a fantastic time with our brilliant smiley guide. We had just the right amount of time at each location so never felt rushed and she gave us lots of useful information. Highly recommended.

Experience was good . Guide senny and driver mr man were nice and kind . Recommended!
The guide was very helpful and cooperating.
We opted for the guided tour however left in between as there was very limited guidance only inside the vehicle and not at the venues. Further it was rushed up with very limited time to enjoy the attractions
It's amazing and wonderful experience, they are very punctual and polite, explanation was given very clear, Special Mention Mrs. Bella
Excellent Half Day Trip - definitely a must do! The guides were so good at explaining everything and gave plenty of time to look around and take pictures. They also assist with taking pics for you too. The driver was an amazing host and kept us company all the way. The tour was from 10:00am - 3:00pm I would 100% recommend this trip. Thank you to Seeny and Mr Sakh for making this a memorable day for us!! :)
Absolutely amazing . Our guide “Almond” took a very good care of us. The ride was very smooth and comfortable. The driver “Sak”was highly professional and cheerful. We enjoyed every minute of the tour.
We enjoyed seeing a variety of places in one afternoon but would have been great to spend more time at Phuket old town in order to get food without being in a rush.
It was a very good experience , the guide was very kind and helpful
I enjoyed this your seeing the sites of Phuket. Day was an attentive, friendly guide who was friendly and always willing to answer questions and take pictures for us.
Our guide mrs day was very helpful and kind she helped us with everything..mrs day was like a family to us
I had a great experience overall. The trip was well-organized, and everything went as planned. The guide was very polite and supportive. At times, the English accent was a bit difficult to follow, but overall it was a pleasant experience.
The guide was really friendly, and was very informative as well. She clicked pictures of us and made us feel very welcomed. Loved her guidance and would recommend too
Really enjoyed this tour. Rose was very good at explaining where we went and what we saw. Would recommend.
I had a very nice experience with Seeny. She is very professional, sweet and cooperative.
Our guide Seeny and chouffer were kind and helpful. Taking care of us in hot weather providing cold water. She was ver kind offering taking pictures of us in all landmarks. Details of places were offered on demand if you wanted to know more than the information provided on the bus before arriving to each point. Please mind 5 hours is short for visiting 5 places as you also need to count transport time so I would advise this "tour" as a good teaser. It gives you enough time for all places, i felt a bit rushed for Old town though as there are so many small shops that you might want to visit and food that you want to try. All in all is well organised and definitely worth doing.
Everything was perfect! They picked Up us at the hour accorded. The sites we met were very interesting. Seeny was very kind! She took us an amazing photos! Thanks a lot!
it was really really good, we saw very good landcapes and we had time to shop and eat too. Seeny was really kind and the conversations were really great.
I had an amazing experience with Seeny and Mr. Dam. We had a very small group (5), so it was nice and intimate. Seeny was very knowledgeable and as a solo traveler, I needed a photographer and she was always willing to help. Mr. Dam was a great driver and always making sure we had water on hand since it was very hot that day. I highly recommend this tour and hope you get both of them.
I was solo so it was great to have a guide to the places. Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Great tour, perfect amount of time at each stop.
It was great experience, thanks for guidance
Very good experience. Timely coverage
She was a very good guide, she explained every thing so well
Highlight was the Big Buddha as this just reopened. Unfortunately, the length of the tour took longer than was advertised and the last part at the jewellery factory wasn’t advertised at all. The free wifi in the van didn’t work but the pick up/drop off service was appreciated especially after a long day out. Overall it was good to cover big buddha, temples and phuket old town for the price we paid.
Lovely few hours exploring Phuket. Pick-up was perfectly on time. Comfortable coach and water provided. Sukie (our guide) was super sweet and lovely. Very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
Had a wonderful experience with Bella
Bella was an extremely helpful guidel. The trip was very well organised , they picked us up at the hotel .Provided breakfast as well.
Bella is the best city guide ever! Very friendly and knowledgeable about Phuket's main attractions. We had a great day discovering the multiple sites visited along our way. Highly recommended!
Always the best choice , thank you Bella & Man for guiding us
What a great way to see Phuket. We both really enjoyed our 5 hr trip . Out guide, Bella, was friendly and professional. Our driver was excellent. We very much appreciated that there were no shopping stops included. The times allowed for the various activities was spot on. Very much recommend.
Great city tour, our driver and tour guide were on time and too notch! They explained sites and gave us time to explore. Old town was so adorable, 50 minutes wasn’t enough, we will be going back on a solo trip there.
Awesome experience , kind and helpful
Bella gave us a fun shopping and scenic tour of old city, Big Buddha and other notable spots. Great lunch spot too. Definitely worth it.
