KARST-AWAYS

Canoe & kayak tour agency

👍👍 We had the best time with Lee on the private full day kayak tour.

The Headland

👍👍 great villa for a real relaxing time. Around are some possibilities for eating, if not ask them to take you to the market there you can buy what you like to eat. They also can prepare something for you, so you not need to go out. And this area is away from all the tourist areas, real nice and quiet.

Trekking

Tourist attraction

👍👍 I had the absolute pleasure of embarking on an early morning hike to this breathtaking viewpoint in order to escape the scorching June heat.

Trail up to Kuan Nom Saow viewpoint

Tourist attraction

👍👍 5 stars for the view, not the trail. The “road” up is best done on a sunny day or preferably not after a day of rain. Otherwise, the path can be muddy and extremely difficult. It gets steep at the end. But when you get there, the view is worth it. There’s a hut Café which serves fried rice an...

Junkyard Theatre Phuket

Theater company

👍👍 If you love live performances, you'll love Junkyard Theatre! Amazing decor of the restaurant when you walk in. You'll be whisked into another area where the actual stage is and it's all magnificently set up. Local & imported talents were equally entertaining! My party and I truly enjoyed ourselves t...

Lanta Fun Divers

Dive shop

👍 I hadn't actually booked with this company, but the company I did book with overbooked so I was on this boat with an instructor from the other company and had a very good day. The awesome boat crew make gearing up and diving from the fairly small boat much easier than I expected when I first boarded...

PhiPhi Underwater

👍👍 Que ce soit le lieu de plongée ou l'instructeur, tout était nickel.

Kayak Point Ao Thalane คายัค พอยต์

👍👍 We came here and rented a kayak for 2 person for 500 baht. The staff members are really friendly and show you the route (take a picture of the map). It took us 2 hours. We asked them in advance through WhatsApp when the best time for kayaking is (high tide). After we finished they even offered us fr...

Kapuhala

Restaurant

😐 We came there as highly recommended by a friend. The cocktails were quite good but pricey. The vegan plates served were however failed to meet our expectations. The plating was fine but the food was not tasty at all. The only things we liked were the fried sweet potato and stacked eggplants. The mos...

👍👍 We decided to try and book a last-minute snorkeling trip, and Michelle was so helpful with communicating and ensuring we got exactly what we wanted, and at a great price.
