Liveliest street in Phuket probably. Worth a walk even if you're not into drinks and other stuff.

Not for me , very noisy and loud crowds. A lot of bars and ladies who offer you whatever you desired.
Drmobaid O — Google review
Loudest and loveliest place in Phuket. They have outdoor street shows. Ping pong shows, night clubs, massage parlors, all sorts of wildly sexual entertainment for both sexes
Priyanjalaa S — Google review
This is like sensory overload especially after 9.30pm at night when things seem to take off even more. A lot of bars, clubs both for dance and more the gentleman clubs as such, lots of food in this street at the different bars. Ally to drink of course. A lot of live music and generally a fun place to come and hangout with friends of all ages. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a street for street food and some local clothes and tourist markets connected to this place.

I have one photo of it during the day. Was too distracted to take it during the night. If you enjoy places like these that's great.
Ezra — Google review
Even if you’re not into drinking or looking to fulfill any sexual desires, Bangla Road is still absolutely worth a visit. It’s one of those places you just have to see once — full of lights, music, and people from all over the world. The atmosphere is crazy, fun, and unique. Just walking through and taking it all in is already an experience on its own. Definitely a must-see when in Patong!

Everything in the park you had to pay for, the buffet was average at best and no way should elephant riding and elephants in a show still be a thing. Hated it.
Courtney B — Google review
Im disappointed in myself for going to this show I cried during it and couldn’t wait to leave I don’t agree with using animals for our entertainment and I couldn’t believe the amount of people that went and how every time an animal did some sort of a trick people clapped The human race just keep surprising me You have people taking photos with little cubs. Cub that’s shouldn’t be taking away from their mothers I could only imagine how stressed the mother was And you could see it in the show when she appeared on stage looked in a cage Then the elephants broke my heart People riding them on stage with other things on their back also Watching elephants stand on two feet and do different tricks Then you see men standing beside the elephants with hammer looking things and hitting the elephants if they didn’t do what they were suppose People need to do better This show should be shut down I don’t know how it is still around

(Translated by Google) It's a show of many different kinds. Elephants, buffalo, chickens, and goats are included in the show, very cute. The atmosphere is like an old stone castle and looks mysterious. Interesting and scary at the same time. Can take beautiful photos We recommend wearing clothes that match the atmosphere to make you feel more at home. 😁😁😁😁😁 (Original) เป็นการแสดงโชว์หลากหลายแบบ มีการนำช้าง ควาย ไก่ แพะ มาร่วมแสดงด้วยน่ารักมาก บรรยากาศเป็นแบบปราสาทหินเก่าแลดูลึกลับ น่าค้นหาและน่ากลัวไปพร้อมๆกัน สามารถถ่ายรูปสวยๆได้ แนะนำสวมชุดที่เข้ากับบรรยากาศไปจะทำให้รู้สึกอินมากขึ้นค่ะ 😁😁😁😁😁

(Translated by Google) Spectacular show. Starts really bad and boring around 15 minutes and then the show starts. In the western world it wouldn't exist due to the attitude towards animals. Bottom line not exactly worth the money. Bad value for money. (Original) מופע מרהיב. מתחיל ממש גרוע ומשעמם סביב 15 דק ואז מתחיל המופע. בעולם המערבי לא היה קיים בשל היחס לחיות. שורה תחתונה לא בדיוק שווה את הכסף. Bad value for money.
אבי כ — Google review
Oh boy, what a terrible place this is. We were picked up by the operator at 5:30 even though the show was at 9:30. They are hurting animals by forcing them to do things they shouldn’t, just for people’s entertainment. If your brain is working even 1%, avoid this show.

The best mall I've ever been to! A huge variety of different stores for all your needs. You can get souvenirs here or even watch a movie. There is also a whole lot of restaurants and food stores. Since it's Pride month, everything is decorated and looks really cute 🥰
Karen B — Google review
This mall is enormous, spotlessly clean, and aesthetically pleasing. You’ll also find budget-friendly items, so you can definitely do some shopping here and find the best things.
Robin S — Google review
Jungceylon is a clean, modern mall with plenty of shops and restaurants — great for escaping the Patong heat. It’s convenient and comfortable, though a bit commercial and lacking the local charm you find elsewhere in Phuket.
Kanchan V — Google review
This is a great place whether seeking something to eat from the large variety of food stores, needing general day to day products from places like big c, or makeup and beauty treatments for the girls, or clothes shopping or just to sit and relax you will love this place. Robinson is also a big store and has a variety of levels with different brands to offer.
GREGORY E — Google review
Just visited the -1 floor (the food court) the fact that we could pay by credit card made me give this place a 5 star. We also had very delicious fried fish, huge portion and friendly staff at the stall. The rest of the mall we did not see. Also went to the 711 . The mall is huge. Bathroom was very clean. The streets around it very very busy and traffic is no joke! Tuk tuk charging people huge amounts for even the shortest distance, they take advantage of the tourists as much as they can!

Great for super hot days or rainy weather, global and local outlets- has everything you could need. Top Charoen is world class, lost my glasses at Hong Island in the sea and they made me a new pair within an hour. I will be back. Amazing Mall and shops with super service.

Beautiful and very secluded. There is a bit of a trek down to the beach if you don't pay for the parking at the end but it's not too bad. The beach itself is like something out of an anime, absolutely picturesque and stunning scenery. Plenty of green canopies that contrast the green to marine blue water and the sand is golden. Not too busy either, I noticed that it isn't really signposted on the roads around the area so you've got to choose to go beforehand, mainly families and couples here and plenty of space even at peak times. I can only imagine the sunrise and sunset here are pretty special.
Jordan B — Google review
Freedom Beach is absolutely stunning. The water is deep, clear blue and the sand is soft and clean — it looks like something out of a postcard. It’s a bit of a hike to get down there, but that’s what keeps it quiet and peaceful. Surrounded by trees and nature, it feels completely untouched. Great spot to swim, sit back, and just take in the view — really beautiful place.
Nabil K — Google review
Freedom beach is always so relaxed and beautiful. The little bar/restaurant area here is tropical and well priced. You can get a beer, a cocktail or soft drinks. The food is so delicious and authentic Thai flavours. I would suggest arriving by long tail boat as the boat ride to freedom beach is spectacular. If you arrive by car, you can chose to pay to get the bus down to the entrance which is recommended as I have seen many people fall and really hurt themselves. Once the bus drops you off there is a huge rock stairway you must climb down to get to the beach (you have to climb this on your way back, so be prepared) this is a definite must do if you are visiting phuket.
Rebecca C — Google review
Overrated beach!!! The view from the top is gorgeous can’t say it isn’t! Not an easy way down at all! Plenty of stairs! When you get to the beach there is loads of rubbish, don’t know why I paid to get it in?? The lifeguard was not nice when I asked if there is a different way back up apart from the stairs… there weren’t boats on that day! There is a different way back up, from the middle set of stairs, walk up the first lot and then get a buggy up to the top for 100 baht!! Stayed at the Marriot Merlin beach hotel and their beach is honestly just as beautiful! This place would be perfect if the access to the beach was made lot more easier - needs a revamp! It’s so possible to do! The beach needs to be cleaner too! It would go from a 1 star to at least a 4 star!
Eden L — Google review
One of the best beaches in Phuket! You can pay 100 baht and take the “easier” way down to the beach, or skip the payment and make your walking trip a little bit longer. :) Both are fine - the view is great, the beach is awesome. You can buy something to drink there as well.
Stephanie M — Google review
Freedom Beach is truly a must-visit spot in Phuket! The 20–30 minute walk to reach it can be a bit tiring, so be sure to carry enough water and wear comfortable shoes. Once you arrive, you’ll find a calm, quiet, and breathtaking beach with clear turquoise water, perfect for swimming and relaxing. Highly recommended!
Mukul M — Google review
The water is crystal clear and super clean gives off serious Fiji island vibes. Perfect spot for laying out under the sun, grabbing a cold drink, and just soaking in the view. No noisy water sports or banana boats, which is a huge plus if you’re here to relax. But fair warning: the hike up and down is no joke! It’s steep and a bit rough, so definitely not for the faint-hearted. That said, if you’re into adventure and don’t mind breaking a sweat to get to paradise, it’s 100% worth it. Feels like a hidden gem for beach lovers who enjoy a bit of a challenge.
Benjamin L — Google review
A beautiful beach, one of the prettiest in shout Phuket area. The water is lovely and clear. The color of the water here is absolutely breathtaking ,without a doubt - one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket. To get there, you’ll need to hike about 10–15 minutes downhill, which is not bad The beach is a mess. Lots of litter. You get charged 100 baht per person to enter. Then you hike down a steep rocky and uneven path for 10 mins before getting to the beach. Same on the way out. Its not worth it. Beach isn't that big either. But the view is amasing and so beautiful.

One of the best sunset views I’ve ever seen anywhere in the world—the sky keeps changing colors and it’s absolutely mesmerizing. There are plenty of activities to enjoy along the beach. The only downside is the frequent approach from traders, which might interrupt the peaceful vibe for some visitors.
Mohamed K — Google review
Great views, can get quite packed in some areas. Also have massage spots right by the beach.

Kamala beach offers scenic views and a calm atmosphere, rather than those seeking nightlife or a lot of nearby dining options. For peace and tranquility — Kamala is perfect. For action and entertainment — Patong would be better.
Paramjeet S — Google review
Really hard to find a bathroom here just FYI. Only one in the beach walkway and you have to pay 10 baht. Beautiful beach though with tons of restaurants and 7-11 close by. Kamala is a nice area, but the beach is by far not the nicest in the island. You can see some cool creatures and shells around though, but it’s also a bit dirty (especially after a tide comes in).
Shamukai — Google review
The water is clean, the sand is soft, and the atmosphere is much calmer compared to other crowded beaches like Patong
In F — Google review
The area where the beach is located is quite popular among tourists - tourist operators work intensively with this place, accommodating vacationers from all over the world. But, it is believed that it is more popular with Europeans of “revered” age, as the hotels here are located near the sea and everything you need is within walking distance. The beach stretches from north to south, its length is 2 km. It is famous for its beautiful nature and spaciousness. There are many attributes for active recreation. The flora consists of trees of mixed species, - the air here is healthy, pleasant! The water in the sea is greenish in color. Here are medium, in strength, waves. The depth of the entrance to the sea is above average. The sand is silty, gray in color. You need to walk far enough from the shore to get to the clear water. The beach is subject to low tides - follow the tides in the appendix. Full information with video and easy navigation - in the app 👉 PHUKETON

To clarify the ambivalent comments: This is a private Beach. I don‘t like things like this but it is like it is. So stay away if you don't want to pay an entrance fee. You are also not allowed to bring drinks and food inside! Inside you have two Beaches - a small and quiet one and the one with Restaurants and other activities. For the entrance fee you get a shuttle service, pool, toilets and a shower. Sun beds, food and drinks are over average in terms of local prices. The location itself is worth a visit - much better than Patong main beach. It is more expensive but it's more exclusive too. If you are willing to spend some money you can have a nice and relaxing day!
A. M — Google review
I don’t recommend this beach. They drain toilet sewage onto the sand (see photo), the water feels dirty, the rocks are sharp and I cut myself on them, they check bags at the entrance, and everything is tied to money. You pay for the entrance and then you have to pay again for other things, even for the pool
Ivan — Google review
It was a paid private beach with not that much people compared to other beaches in Phuket like Patong. The ocean was really clear and beautiful with clean water and not too much people creating a sense of privacy and pristine. But it’s paid so if you would like to go to a free beach this isn’t one am afraid but it’s amazing and beautiful nonetheless.
Nita — Google review
First, you have to pay a 200 baht entry fee. But when you want to go back to your hotel, they block your taxi and claim it's a private area. Then they force you to pay 400 baht to return with their taxi. This was an absolute rip-off and a complete NO-GO! After paying the entrance fee, you're charged another 1500 baht for a sunbed. To make things worse, there were no activities like jet skis available, even though they are offered at other beaches. It was a huge disappointment and a real scam.
Dilhan Y — Google review
Tourist trap, 200 tbh entry and still have to pay extra on everything you touch. Wonder if those rated 5 stars are paid reviewers as who would visit this place while there is a beautiful Freedom Beach is right next to it?
HHD — Google review
It only looks like paradise . It’s not . It’s far from Patong , it’s quite with a great view . But that’s all . There are sharp rocks inside the beach , so you can’t walk , not even swimm . Been there in August . Don’t know what happens with the tide in winter months . There is a nice pool beach bar there , however they ask 400baht just to swimm in the pool . Plus you have to pay for sunbed . Not much 150baht , plus 200 you paid already just to enter the facilities . I wouldn’t go back there . There are way better pool / beach bars .

Is it a complete rip off - Yes Is it worth the the effort - No The beach - The rocks in the water were harsh and people were cutting their feet. On the upside they have a small first aid kit. The best part of this experience was the taxi ride home.

DONT GO HERE ! Such a tourist trap. They make you pay 200 entry fee. Expensive and then it’s just a trap with everything else inside ! You have to pay for everything. It’s sad and depressing inside to be honest. The vibes are bad and very commercial. The beach is nice but it’s not worth it. Don’t go. Also the lady selling tickets is rude!

SO GOOD! Highly Recommend This Boxing Experience I had such an amazing time at the boxing match last night — seriously one of the most entertaining events I’ve been to in a while. The whole night was well-organized, super professional, and the stadium itself was absolutely beautiful. We sat in the VIP section, and let me tell you — it was worth every penny. The seats were incredibly comfortable, the views were amazing, and the staff was super attentive the entire night. Everything felt elevated. The crowd energy was great, very positive and in good spirits — no rowdiness, just good vibes all around. Restrooms were clean, and there were tons of snack and drink options, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re even slightly into boxing or just want a fun, lively night out, this is a MUST. Can’t wait to go again!

I watched Muay Thai live for the first time at Patong Boxing Stadium and it was such an exciting experience! The atmosphere inside the stadium was electric, with the crowd cheering and the music creating so much energy. The fighters were incredible – you can feel the intensity and respect for the sport. I highly recommend getting seats in the front rows if possible, because you can hear every kick and punch, and see the fighters up close. It really makes the experience more immersive. The event was well organized, the staff were helpful, and drinks were available during the matches. If you are in Phuket, this is a must-see for an unforgettable night out!

Patong Stadium is a fantastic place to experience authentic Muay Thai, where locals and visitors from around the world come to compete. I've competed there and also enjoyed watching the fights as a spectator, and both experiences were incredible. The atmosphere is electric, and the fights are always top-notch, with indoor air conditioning keeping things comfortable. On select nights, they host an exciting lineup of MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai all in one event! Plus, they have a YouTube channel—Patong Boxing Stadium Sainamyen Rd.—where you can relive past fights and watch live events. It’s truly an unforgettable experience!

Announcer does not speaks proper English. 😄 The ticket is quite expensive. It could be a better value ( for example included drink ). Fights were ok. A big heavier sparing. It likely that some were staged ( the knockouts ). I did not liked that the guy that I marked red took my phone from my hand as he was checking ticket. That is invasive. People like this should not work here. 🚫 He should keep his grabby hands to himself.

Had a great time coming here on a weeknight for Muay Thai. The facility was clean and comfortable, the fights were great, and the production quality on the screens for replays was amazing. Drink prices were a little high, but fine and nothing unexpected for a sports venue. We sat in the “VIP” ticket section and it was fantastic, just message the guys on WhatsApp to get tickets and they make it easy to get good seats. My only complaint is the announcer, as it was pretty much impossible to understand him. I think the stadium should actually lean into his lack of English and have him get the crowd fired up in Thai! If English/Russian/Chinese visitors won’t understand him anyway, have him yelling in Thai instead of English and it would be awesome and more immersive. Overall had a great time, and would highly recommend!

Incredible experience. Easy to book on WhatsApp. Front 3 rows are very comfortable seats. Highly recommend trying even if you don’t love combat sports.
Ahmed F — Google review
Our favorite activity while in Phuket. I suggest booking through the WhatsApp contact listed on their website, as they will coordinate hotel pickup / drop off and reserve the best seats in the stadium for you. Ringside tickets come with a free t-shirt and was well worth it to be up close. The matches were action packed across weight classes, and on a Tuesday night it was full with an engaging crowd. Seating was comfortable and there was A/C. Waiters come around to serve food and drinks. Absolutely will do again!

First time going to a muy thai show it was so much fun, the food was pretty good as well, the drinks were nice as well. We got the first seat row and had a t shirt included in the price for 1’800 bath if i remember.

Very nice little beach on the opposite side of the bay from Patong Beach. A less touristy beach but well worth a visit. The area around the Hide Out Restaurant is very good for swimming. Also by the Tri Trang Beach sign, a couple of hundred metres up from the Marriott, there is a shallow area where a lot of Thais go swimming. Numerous restaurants dotted around Tri Trang, most of them located up the hill past the Marriott.

Very cozy, beautiful and comfortable beach is a good place to relax! Its coastline stretches for a distance of about 730 meters - it is a medium-sized beach. You can find a place in the shade - here they left a casuarina forest belt, which throws natural shade on the beach. There are no sun beds and umbrellas, which would be available for rent. But there are swings and a local attraction - an elephant, with which you can swim in the sea. Therefore, it will be interesting and fun for both adults and children! The entrance to the sea is very comfortable, the depth is average, the water is transparent. Here there are no low tides (watch the tides in the appendix) and you can swim all day long. The beach is notable for the fact that you can swim here in the rainy season, this is due to the fact that there is a reef, which dampens the waves before they come to the shore.

It‘s definitely worth a Little Walk! Clean waters, a bar with Service, Toilettes etc (100baht per Person consumption - then usage is included). I would recommend using the „Hideout beachfront“ (beachbar/Restaurant) as Location Point and also as entry, since it is easier to find and to navigate to. If the Walk (really steep) is too much for You (Kids/elderly people)- You can take a bolt/grab/taxi almost up until the very beach. The beach is clean and beautiful- Not too crowded. Because of the reviews I was Little afraid of going to the beach at tide, but honestly- it was Not relevant at all. The Maximum Tide was around 12, when we also got there. The water was a Little back, so when going into the water you of course need to pay attention to rocks- but being attentiv when going into Open ocean is something that Most people do instinctively anyway, so I didn‘t feel that bothering me. When the tide rose around evening Hours (5-6 pm), you could see and feel the water coming closer. So the difference between the tides is visible but in a neutral way. Therefore- I can definitely recommend visiting This Beach !

I know people are usually recommending the Diamond beach, but this place is arguably better. Nice sandy beach, very few people around, there’s a vendor that sells beers and sodas. Try to arrive in the morning to spend some quality time swimming as at afternoon water recedes.

If you're looking for calm, clean uncrowded beach this is worth the drive. It's on the way to Paradise Beach tucked away. Great place to relax catch some sun and just listen to the waves. It's my favorite beach in Phuket. It's not riddled with vendors or tourists. There is one vendor offering food and beverages with pic nic tables on the beach. Smoking still only permitted at the designated areas.

Located on a peninsula with a unique vantage point of passing cruise ships and the infamous elephants-bathing-by-the-beach geared for clueless influencers, this quiet beach also looks out to the glitz and glamour that is Patong and Gomorrah. Bring some popcorn as this place has the best seats for the next tropical tribulation. Other than that it’s a great quiet place to chill and watch the world go by.
Loven R — Google review
This is a quiet and good beach considering it's Phuket. It's quiet with only many Russians, but never too crowded. It's also very nice for children as it's not dirty and no strong waves. The access is a bit difficult, but don't get discouraged, take the road going to the restaurant, not the road with the sign saying "beach", That's for pickups only. But there is only praying for 3-4 cars. Best is to go by motorcycle. I didn't try the restaurant as it's seemed overpriced.

A must experience for live Muay Thai! Very exciting and many ouches! Tickets quite expensive ranging from 1200-2500baht. Just get the cheapest still view well enough as it’s not a very big stadium. I happened to pass by at the middle of the match after 4 matches gone, left with 4. They gave me a high discount at 500baht. Super good deal & amazing experience!

Such an amazing place! I was on the lookout for some Indian or vegetarian food, but didn’t find much around. However, I did come across one food stall (you’ll see it in one of my photos) — the people there were incredible! I asked for fried rice with just vegetables, and they totally nailed it. The taste was absolutely awesome!
Jai S — Google review
Had a great experience here in the afternoon as well as the evening. There are many food stalls to choose from with different cooked foods as well as juices and desserts. The ingredients are all fresh and made to order. There is a lot of seating throughout the market and workers who pass by to help clear off tables. Towards the back of the market are souvenir/clothing stalls that offer a solid selection of clothes/trinkets that are good quality and priced fairly. Overall a great spot to grab a bite and get some souvenirs. Definitely get the massive water coconut and mango sticky rice, that alone is worth the trip.
Sam D — Google review
Malin Plaza is a vibrant night market gem that captures Phuket's lively spirit. As sunset hits, the stalls buzz with locals and travelers alike, offering an authentic escape from the beach crowds. The food scene steals the show—fresh seafood like grilled prawns and tuna, sizzling Pad Thai, and spicy Tom Yum Goong are cooked to perfection at unbeatable prices (under 200 THB per plate). Don't miss the mango sticky rice or Thai pancakes for a sweet finish; everything's flavorful, hygienic, and way better value than tourist traps.Shopping-wise, it's a shopper's paradise with affordable souvenirs, trendy beachwear, bags, and spa goodies in air-conditioned shipping container shops. Bargain hard for leather goods or trinkets—prices beat nearby markets, and the hassle-free vibe lets you browse relaxed. Friendly vendors add charm, though cash-only rules apply. Overall, Malin Plaza blends delicious eats, smart buys, and tropical energy—perfect for an evening out. Highly recommend for foodies and bargain hunters! Timings : 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM local time

Excellent place to eat, specially Aroydee Thai f. Very good Thai food with the best prices of the market. They are kind and will give you many options. In my case I’m allergic to seafood so they prepare the same dishes but with chicken. Portions are generous and the taste is excellent. Definitely we will come back in our next trip to Phuket.

Great little night market. Plenty of great options, including grilled meats and fish and juices and clothes and other souvenirs. All reasonably priced, though a little bit more expensive than what you might get in less touristy areas. We tried the meats, the dumplings and juices, and all tasted amazing. Everything looked clean and we had no issues afterwards. Lots of halal options also available. Definitely worth a visit!

Awesome night market with lots of delicious food and desserts! We did a little shopping and a lot of eating. The fried prawns and fried chicken were our favorite. The pineapple fried rice was pretty good also even though they add cury to it.

The Malin Plaza is one of the best place for shopping in Phuket, They have something for everyone there, The shop owners are very friendly and they do give good discount to Indian. They also have food court in the entrance, were you can see live fish and select your fish and they will cook it for you. I really recommend the shop at the right end at the Malin plaza, the owner is a lady, she speaks very well in hindi and very good hearted. Do visit her place, in a line they have 3shops all are run by there family only. I Loved this place hope you will love it too 😊🤗🤗😊

Malin Plaza is a lively night market with a great selection of food and a large shopping area. The variety of dishes is impressive, and for Patong standards, the prices are still very affordable, which makes this market especially worth visiting. At times, some vendors can be a bit persistent and approach you while you’re eating, which can be slightly annoying—but it’s easy to overlook given the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for tasty food, good prices, and plenty of stalls to explore, I can definitely recommend Malin Plaza.

Tiger Kingdom was such a unique experience! Being able to get so close to the tigers and even take photos with them was unforgettable. The staff seemed knowledgeable and kept everything safe, which made me feel comfortable. The place is clean and well-maintained. It’s a bit pricey, but for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it felt worth it.

This was my first time to meet a tiger.. we were really frightened but everything went well. Although I found it a little expensive as there is ticket for tigers sizewise and doing all of it is around 6300 baht.. then there are miscellaneous categories as well like Special tiger, giant tiger or cheetah. The handling of tigers while we are inside is little concerning, for photos they wake them up by sticks or by spraying water. Other than this, tigers are tamed and healthy. The experience is exhilarating.
Yogesh K — Google review
You can see the tigers for free. But to pet them and take photos with them you have to pay 900 bhat or so depending on the type of tiger. (I really hope they are treated well otherwise it would be animal cruelty) The tigers are tame and there’s no need to worry. However there could be a waiting period
Priyanjalaa S — Google review
Unique experience. Come early to avoid queues. Tickets are expensive (1000baht+) but worth it for the experience. Got the photo package too which is really good - they take loads and upload on your phone and give you a USB. The staff will also take a picture or two if you request it with your phone, just give them a small tip (they’re actually pretty decent photographers). The tigers themselves are often asleep, which is apparently the norm. Didn’t see any bad handling from the staff, they all seem to have a good relationship with the tigers. The tigers themselves are so majestic.

We went there during weekdays around 10am. So far the process went smooth. We took photographer.They help us to take good photos with tigers. Feel so amazing and excited to see 🐅🐆 nearby and touch them. (Only allow 10min inside cage) U can see them from outside, no time limit. Only one thing * the animals look Sleepy most of the time during our visit in the cage. Overall great experiences.
Tawamani S — Google review
Nice and clean place. Need to be lucky and easy on pocket for the tiger to be fully awake. We got bad weather so had to see the tiger in the cage. Best time is to reach between 9-9.30 to avoid the queue. We reached at 9.30 so had a shorter queue.
Rahul J — Google review
The waiting list is sooooo long up to 3 hours You probably need to come very early Don’t take just walking tickets as there is nothing to see from walking only as caged are super far from alley and not much things are visible and this cannot be upgraded as well. Too many people and too noisy. It’s 10 min only for tiger, touch and take photo - probably enough, but not waiting for this 2+ hours ( went Thursday, around 2 pm) Probably playing with cubs is more fun It’s also overpriced, would not come back

Visited this Market today. So many shops with cheap and best quality dress, Bags etc. They may ask much higher price, but it’s your capacity up to what level the prices can bring down. No need to be shy to bargain in resonance way, because that also expect it from customers. I found an Ice cream shop where you can customize according to your choice. I ordered ice cream with a base of Green Tea and flavor of Passion fruit. They made it using Fresh passion fruit juice. They serve it as ice cream rolls… it was awesome .

A quiet and peaceful place in the noisy and overcrowded Patong, located at the very entrance to the city from the coast - Suwan Khiriwong Temple. A very cozy and comfortable place where you can walk in a quiet atmosphere, relax and get a boost of positive energy. The most interesting and picturesque place of the complex is the vihara on the mountain. This place has a lot of greenery and very clean and pleasant air. Inside the building there are a large number of beautiful Buddha figures and a statue of a monk. It seems that this statue still has life - all parts of its body look so natural - especially the eyes and hair. It seems that the statue of this monk will move away from meditation, start moving and talking. This is a very interesting, quiet place, with a good aura and energy, which is worth a visit!

Honestly one of the best events I’ve been to! Sip & Surf totally blew me away. I came for a few hours and ended up staying the whole day. The surf competition was awesome to watch, and the whole setup had such good energy. Local vendors were selling super cool stuff handmade, unique, you name it. The food? So good and plenty of choices. What really stood out to me was how well-organized everything was. No smoking, no weed, no alcohol and honestly, that made the event feel really clean, safe, and just good vibes all around. Super impressed and grateful. Hope they bring this event back again soon. I’d go in a heartbeat! #sip&surf2025kamalabeach

In the morning of December 26 at 07:58 at the depth of 30 km of the Indian Ocean there was an earthquake with a magnitude of about 9 points on the Richter scale, generating a tsunami of terrifyingly destructive force, at the same time, fixing the top lines in the history of observations of the world ocean. The waves reached a height of 15 meters, bringing down all its power on residential buildings, leaving nothing in its wake. The shock wave passed through the entire planet, for a fraction of a second, changing the speed of rotation of the earth. According to various reports, up to 300 thousand people were killed, many of whom are missing. Full information with video and easy navigation - in the app 👉 PHUKETON

Rented umbrellas and chairs at this busy beach. The guys here were very attentive bringing water and beer and food. They constantly kept an eye on the umbrellas and adjusted them when they saw the sun might be getting close to hitting us. Can't say enough about how nice the guys were.

An interesting place with a very beautiful picture. At the very bottom level there is a small pool for very small children. The main waterfall is located a little higher, after going up the steps. There is very beautiful flora and rich fauna here. Trees with huge trunk diameters and powerful roots, vines and various plants and flowers create a special, indescribable atmosphere in this place. There are spiders, snakes and lizards - they can mainly be found early in the morning and late in the evening. Access to the waterfall is easy, so this place can be visited with children to let them splash in the water and take photos for memory! * When visiting this attraction, you need to stock up on water, repellents and have comfortable shoes best time to visit: June - October entrance: free Full information with video and easy navigation - in the app 👉 PHUKETON
