Peek past Phuket's dreamy beaches and you'll discover another side to the island. You'll visit Wat Chalong temple, visit a cashew nut factory, soak up views of Thalong Road and Rang Hill. Anchali, a local expert guide, says, “this tour shares the best of Phuket's culture in just one action-packed day. My personal highlight is Wat Chalong, the biggest Buddhist temple on the island. Its impressive red, white and gold facade never fails to inspire me.”
Kick off the tour at Wat Chalong, the island's most revered temple. The jewel in the crown of the complex is the richly decorated Grand Pagoda, which contains a bone splinter said to be from the Buddha. Next, you'll head to a nut factory to see how locally grown cashew nuts are plucked from yellow cashew apples, roasted, and peeled to become the moreish snack we know and love.
Stroll along the famous Thalong Road – look out for vibrant Chinese-Portuguese architecture and the early 20th-century mansion featured in the film, Good Morning Vietnam. After taking in the views over Phuket Town at Khao Rang Hill Viewpoint, you'll head to a pearl farm for the inside scoop into one of Phuket's most important industries. You'll wrap things up with a tasty Thai lunch, and visit a typical home where you'll see a rubber tapping demo, plus a quick lesson on how to whip up the perfect Thai curry.
