Tiger Park Phuket
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Truly one of the most memorable moments of my life. I didn’t ever imagine myself seeing a healthy, happy and playful tiger in real life. Even less so that I would actually PET one!!
I was so impressed by their facilities and more than happy to see that the tigers were treated well and by professiona...

Paradise Trip ATV and Zipline Adventure
Adventure sports
👍 Was a 45 minute drive from Patong but the zip wires made it worthwhile.
We've done GoApe in the UK and this was much better. The zip lines are much higher and longer, and you get to fly over the jungle! The views across the bay were also a bonus.
Unfortunately the ATV was a bit tame 🫤. You follow a...

ATV SEAVIEW ON TOUR
Tourist attraction
😠 I'll always regret riding an elephant. I was an inexperienced traveler. These animals are extreme intelligent and the level of pain they must endure to become docile is unimaginable. Refrain from supporting this type of activity.

Prayai Changthai Elephant Camp
Tourist attraction
😠 ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! We went to this place to see elephants but when we arrived their feet were chained together in a tiny enclosure whilst they were visibly distressed trying to move. With lots of research suggesting that elephants are very advanced creatures, this is especially cruel and disgust...

Kao Khad View Point
Scenic spot
👍👍 Google goofed and mixed up this place with Kao Khad View Tower, which is 6 minute drive away on a hill, thereby with a significantly different view. Many photos posted here are in fact taken at the View Tower.
This place is on the side of a highway close to the water. Accordingly, the scenery is a...

Phuket Snake Show
Tourist attraction
😠 Terrible and disgusting place. 400 baht for nothing. All the animals look like they are dead, I really couldn't believe they are real until they touched them with sticks. They hurt animals and jeer at them. Guides are uneducated and care only about your money. Information they give during the show c...

👍👍 Extremely beautiful and picturesque. However this place is mostly busy and will be filled with boats and yachts of all shapes and sizes. Most of the travel agencies have their offices within 50 mts where people assemble before going on the island trips where you are given refreshments and instructio...

Phuket Botanic Garden
Tourist attraction
😐 The Gardens were probably amazing pre covid but they seem to have been let go for years. There is only one staff member who is an older Thai gentleman who doesn't speak English.
We still had a good time wandering around and feeding the fish. It is not worth 500 baht. Maybe 50 baht. Hopefully it is...

Wat Ladthi Wanaram (Wat Tai)
Buddhist temple
👍 Came to the Wat Tai temple on the way to the Big Buddha, they had a festival on as well for the day. About 30 minutes from Pa tong beach. 1 hour to 1.5 hours is enough time here, there’s about 4 different temples that you can go into here, amazing architecture and good time for reflection although w...
