“During the rainy low season there aren’t too many tourists around. From about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. it usually doesn’t rain, the water’s clear and great for swimming. You’ll see quite a few people surfing, and locals selling tasty food at good prices. There aren’t any big restaurants right on the beach.”

Honestly very disappointing. It’s a shame because it’s such a beautiful beach but lacks infraestructure, and the surrounding area is messy, there are no bathrooms, it looks unkempt

Beautiful sand and water, beautiful view, great spot for tanning and some good vendors around. Bathrooms are difficult to access and basically just a hole in the ground, which is not great considering it is a busy beach area. Beach can be a bit of a mess and could probably use some proper maintenance on a few areas + the access roads to improve atmosphere and quality of experience. Overall though, one of my favourite beaches in Phuket so far!

Great beach to take kids to. Water isn't to rough. There is a lot of construction going on at the beach front at the moment but still a great place for a swim

Surin Beach is a long stretch of white sand that runs parallel to the Andaman Sea. The crystal clear turquoise water and gentle waves are perfect for swimming and playing in the water. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, making it a perfect getaway for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle. In addition to its natural beauty, Surin Beach has many activities to do, such as sunbathing on the beach, strolling along the beach, playing beach volleyball, or snorkeling to see coral reefs and colorful schools of fish. There are also restaurants and small shops that serve tourists. Whether you come to relax alone, with your lover, or with your family, Surin Beach is ready to provide you with an impressive experience. Come experience the happiness and beauty of this beach and you will surely fall in love with Surin Beach! "Welcome to enjoy life 😄 happy in Thailand "

A beautiful beach for swimming, a nice little wave came through for a body surf most days I visited on my month holiday. Shade trees. Nice sand. Clean. A few stalls. And a good beach. Perfect!

Surin Beach is one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches I’ve visited in Phuket. The water is crystal clear, the sand is soft and fine, and the beach isn’t too crowded — even during the high season, you can still find a quiet spot to relax. The sunset is absolutely stunning, and the natural landscape is picture-perfect. Whether you’re swimming, sunbathing, or just sitting with a book, it’s the kind of place you can enjoy all day without getting bored. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a beach that combines natural beauty with a calm, laid-back vibe.

Wonderful place. Whole purpose of this project is to rescue the gibbons and make them forget about humans so human contact is very very limited. You just spot them from afar and admire them. You may have a chance of feeding them through a strainer attached to a rope…but it all depends on the gibbon’s mood. Great place, hope the gibbons get successfully released into the forest someday.

We first visited this amazing place 30yrs ago on our first long haul holiday. The concept and attitudes of the staff to trying to better the lifes of the abused Gibbons was outstanding then We returned to find "Tam" still involved. (Sorry if we misheard or got the name wrong.) What we did'nt get wrong was what a special person he is, devoting 30 years to rescuing and rehabilitating the Gibbons. You are only shown 4 to 5 Gibbons and there is no interaction, feeding etc. It is all about rewilding these animals if at all possible. A tremendous place and a sobering couple of hours seeing how man can alter the ways that animals live and evolve. Please visit if you are in Phuket.

What a wonderful project and staff. I came for the longer visit, and got to help make snacks and observe the gibbons. It was a very educational experience and I'm grateful for the volunteers that work so hard to rescue and rehabilitate these gibbons into the wild. I think it would be especially good for helping children learn and become ambassadors for wildlife and the environment as they grow up, even though they discuss difficult topics regarding animal treatment and rescue. Thank you for a very meaningful day.

An incredible place to visit during a trip to Phuket. A true eco friendly experience that educates about Thai Gibbons and provides a hopeful future with the hard work Than and the team put into rehabilitating these beautiful animals whose numbers in the wild have been greatly impacted thanks to humans. This place receives no government funding so relies heavily on visitors who actually care about animal conservation and not an instagramable photo opportunity.

I can tell the nationality of every single person giving 1* because of the whining and lack of education they espouse. Ignore the troglodytes. FYI the waterfall volume is determined by rainfall - dry season it will be a trickle. Go figure. As for wearing flip-flops to a rainforest? You get what you get. Wear sensible shoes or you'll slip, trip, or get bitten by something. Common sense. Rehabilitation of wildlife is really expensive. 1,000baht per person isn't cheap, but it all goes to helping them. This isn't a zoo. You won't get to hold them. You won't get loads of close up photos. That isn't what this place is about and that is exactly why it's the best tourist attraction on Phuket. The vast majority of tourist places on Phuket exploit and actively harm their animals (Tiger Kingdom, most of the elephant sanctuaries, Fantasea etc - never go to these places). This place is the opposite, and it's run by a fantastic, passionate biologist who loves what he does. This is conservation in its purest form. Observing the enclosures at a distance, catching glimpses of the wild ones if you are very lucky, and enjoying learning about the gibbons in their care. National Park entry is 200baht which goes towards running the jungle itself and maintaining paths, car parks etc. I got a taxi there from Bang Tao for 700baht which was expensive because of the storm and surge pricing. You can get it for 250ish no problem. There is a food stall in the car park with basic toilets. You can get mosquito spray from the project building once you've signed in. We had five on our tour - me and a family of four with two young kids. The guide was funny, informative, and passionate. He was so good with the kids that even me as a former teacher was impressed. We also saw an orb weaver spider, loads of butterflies, black termites, various grasshoppers, and a wild monkey, as well as about 12 gibbons in total. The gibbons are at a distance because they're being taught not to rely on humans who have abused them. This is the gold standard of rehabilitation and conservation and I am disgusted anyone would give this place 1*. The paths are concrete but they are mossy, uneven, and slippery, so wear suitable footwear. I could not recommend this place more to any tourist with more than two braincells. If you have fewer, stay at home with your MAGA hat on, cheering the invasion of Palestine or Ukraine. Everyone else, visit and enjoy!

We had an amazing time here. Many thanks to our lovely volunteer guide (sorry we can't recall your name) who explained the rehabilitation process, about some of those which can't be rehabilitated, the history of the project and many other absorbing details. After the visit we then hiked up the adjacent river to the nearby Bang Pae waterfall for a cooling dip!

Full on tropical storm, tremendous guide - informative, essential to the life of the forest, amazing experience. Just another reminder how people who are different make all the difference in the world. Thank you Gibbon Rehab for what you do.

Spacious stretch of beach, one end goes to the national park the other end is where the shops/restaurants/food stalls are. We have found this beach so far the best place for us to be able to lie on without the water taking up the full beach.

True locals beach, beautiful sandbars, little tertiary stream running down, just gorgeous and probably close to 1,500-2,000 metres long. Barely any people but locals and wow, just stunning. A nice day trip.

Disgusting! The beach is littered with trash and there's plastic in the water. Swimming here is like being in a soup full of plastic bags. And what's worse, there's a kite surfing school operating right on the beach, among the swimmers! They're teaching beginners, and one of the sails hit me and another guy on the head. A man next to me had to dive down just in time, otherwise he would have been run over by a board at high speed! If the police don't intervene, there will be a tragedy.

It was a totally unexpected discovery towards the end of my trip to Thailand. I loved the surrounding “woods” and beach itself was calm and had many cafes dotting it. It wasn’t too clean though and I found a lot of garbage floating in the water. But the incredible sunset more than made up for it.

Nice beach 30 minutes from the resort I am staying at. Very busy lots of action lots of beach seafood.

A more accessible and peaceful beach. NEAR airport, easily view plane depart and arrive on the beach. The "forest area" offer a very pleasant walk and shade. There are some food stalls in the area for quick bite. There are also more happening food and stalls at other parts of the beach.

Clean serene and near to the airport! You can chill and witness a great sunset!

Visited last April songkran week and it was a blast! 🤩 One of the highlights was the Load & Wallet Bracelet - super convenient and hassle-free! 💳👍 No need to carry wallet or cash while swimming, just load up your bracelet and you're good to go! 💦 The park has tons of rides suitable for the whole family, and they provide life jackets for added safety 👍. Prices are pretty reasonable too! 👍 Overall, a fun day out with the fam - would definitely recommend! 🌴👌

For me it's expensive but we had a 2 bedroom family suite. Rooms modern and clean. Breakfast was great with lots of variety. It's situated next to the airport so Patong Beach and the like about 50 minutes away. Took over an hour to travel to Carnival Magic. The waterpark is great for the kids and adults.

I am a kid and I am telling you this place ruined my whole entire life. Okay maybe not my whole life but definitely my holiday and that is basically the same thing. We came to Phuket Splash Jungle Resort because of the waterpark. The big slides. The fun. The excitement. The reason ANYONE goes here. And then SURPRISE the waterpark was CLOSED. Not a little closed. Not fixing something. Just completely shut. The workers just acted like it was totally normal. So they gave us 2400 baht for four people to spend on the day we arrived. Which sounds pretty good until you remember we got there late and had like five minutes to spend it. And they gave us four tiny drinks that were the size of a fingernail and we could not even choose what they were. They just handed us sad little cups like that would fix anything. It did not. Check-in took one thousand years. There were angry parents everywhere. Kids melting down. Staff looking like they wanted to disappear. We just stood there while chaos exploded all around us. Nobody had been told the park was closed. Everyone was mad. Including me. Especially me. Then we went to check out the pools. If you can even call them that. There was one old crusty pool that looked like it had not been cleaned since the dinosaurs. And another pool that was basically the size of a bathtub. A small one. And the lifeguards were just sitting there scrolling on their phones like they were on a break from caring about safety. They were not even looking at the water, in fact facing a different direction. I could have done a backflip and they would not have noticed. Not that I know how to do a backflip but still. We also tried to do beach soccer because it was listed as an activity. But surprise again. It does not exist. We asked the staff and they handed us a ball that was so hard it could break your foot. It was like kicking a coconut. And they expected us to play barefoot. I bruised my toes and foot so much and I’m quite annoyed because I actually value my toes so no thank you. The food was worse than school lunch. And I like school lunch. They forgot my meal completely. My whole family got theirs and finished eating while I just sat there like a sad little potato 🥔 . When it finally came one hour later it was cold and gross and they even forgot the bacon. How do you forget bacon. Bacon is the best part. You could not even eat outside the restaurant which made no sense. You are in Thailand. It is beautiful. And they want you to sit inside like you are at a boring airport food court. No thanks people! The rooms were okay. Big and kind of nice. But that is not why we came here. We came for the waterpark and the fun and there was NONE of that. Also the buggy thing. We were the first ones to call it and the first ones waiting and then a bunch of people just pushed in front of us and got on and the staff just stood there and watched like it was totally normal. We had to wait for another one while everyone else drove off into the distance like it was a race and we were the losers that lost. Everything about this place made me want to scream into a pillow. I would not go back here if they paid me. DO NOT come here. Unless you want to spend your holiday bored and annoyed and watching other people complain while holding a sad tiny drink and wondering what went wrong.

It was supposed to reopen on October 1st 2025, but it’s still closed as of October 9th! No update, no notice, nothing. Their website is completely useless and misleading. Total waste of time and very disappointing!

We went on a quiet day and it was fun. Kids are 7 and 10. Some of the rides were great but the park is not as big as Andamanda park. Was a bit annoying that we couldn't take our own towels or water bottles. Bought tickets thru trip.com and got a discount .

Great place for families. Plenty of slides and pools with minimal lines (if any) when we went. Down side is they don't allow you to take any food or drinks in (not even water). Not allowed to take towels in either. Wanting you to hire their towels and buy everything to eat and drink in there, and as you would expect, food and drink is overpriced. You load money onto a wristband (no cash payments inside the waterpark, apart from topping up your wristband) and they refund any unspent balance as you exit. Park could definitely do with some maintenance, rusted/corroded guardrails around the steps to the large slides etc. We bought our ticket the day before (including towels and locker) on Klook website - easy mobile redemption at the ticket office as you enter. And saved quite a bit on their gate prices.

We had a pleasant afternoon; the children had fun, and the adults did too. It's just a shame that the park is getting on in years, and many things no longer work or are run down. The price-performance ratio no longer fits together. A renovation for the park is urgently needed. We would not come back again. The staff were all nice and polite. Prices in the restaurant or at the bar are a bit exaggerated since you are not allowed to bring anything into the park; you are dependent on buying something there. 'Live and let live' should be their motto 😉"

Day started well with last person hotel pickup. After 1/2 hour ride arrived at pier and had a light breakfast toast, crackers, cookies, teas and coffee. This was the James Bond tour and we stopped at a nearby island for 30 to relax or swim. Then we went to Payne Island which had a floating village for lunch for one hour. We ate at Sunny Seafood. The buffet was horrible. It was so spicy I could not feel my lips for over a half hour. I felt nauseous after finishing food. That put a damper on the rest of the day. We went to James Bond island next after a 40 minute ride. I was pretty and interesting to see where the Bond movie was filmed but overhyped. Nest was a short trip to Zhongshan Island where I I expected to kayak myself into cave. Instead their staff did the paddling. It was a short paddle and nice scenery. It appears some other tours gave longer paddle times. As I write this we are on our 40 minute ride to last stop and I still feel so sick after that lunch. They had cookies water and coke which was nice but I was too late to get a water and all that was left was coke🤮Speedboat was quick but boat time was about same time as island time and had no views unless you stood up which they did not want you to. The staff were very nice. The last stop was at a pretty beach with shallow water. This was just a money maker stop where you had to pay for beach chair or buy food or drink. Overall an okay tour, but definitely not worth the money paid. Highlight of the whole day was the weird hopping fish I saw at first stop, see picture.

Had an amazing day with SeaStar Andaman! The staff were so welcoming and even prepared morning snacks. Everything was well organized — smooth from pickup to drop-off. Joker and his team were super friendly, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable. Maya Bay was stunning, Phi Phi had beautiful snorkeling spots, and Khai Beach was perfect for relaxing. The lunch buffet was great too! Highly recommend

We booked a tour with Seastar Andaman during our trip to Thailand, and even though our day started a bit chaotic (more on that below 😅), the overall experience turned out to be absolutely memorable — all thanks to their amazing staff, well-organized tours, and thoughtful service. ⏰ Morning Chaos – Totally Our Fault! So here’s the fun part — our driver from Seastar showed up right on time at our hotel, but… we were all still sleeping 😂. Huge mistake from our side. The driver waited patiently at the reception, and I had to literally request him to wait for another 20 minutes. To our surprise, he waited for 25 minutes without any complaints. Really appreciate this professionalism. 🚗 Good Thing – We Had a Rented Car Since we had a rental car with us, we contacted Seastar’s customer care (who were super responsive, by the way) and they kindly guided us to reach the port before 9 AM. We drove quickly and reached just in time, hoping we wouldn’t miss the trip. 🚤 Big Relief – They Arranged a New Boat for Us Instead of refusing us or cutting our trip short, the Seastar team actually rearranged our tour by putting us in another group and setting us up on a new boat. This flexibility saved our day! 🙋‍♀️ The Guide – Truly a Rockstar The highlight of the trip was our tour guide. She was not only super friendly but also extremely informative. She explained everything in detail — from safety instructions to fun facts about the islands, marine life, and snorkeling tips. It wasn’t like a rushed tour; she took her time to ensure we understood and enjoyed every bit. 🏊‍♂️ We Couldn’t Swim – But That Wasn’t a Problem! None of us in the group really knew how to swim, but the guide and the support team made sure we felt safe and confident in the water. She stayed with us, guided us through the snorkeling activity, and made sure we had a good time even though we weren’t swimmers. That was truly impressive! 🍹 On-Board Snacks and Drinks Throughout the journey, Seastar’s crew served us refreshments, drinks, and snacks at regular intervals. Small but thoughtful touches like this made the experience even more enjoyable and relaxing

⭐ 3/5 I recently went on a Phi Phi Island day tour with this company. Overall, the experience and tour arrangements were very good. The boat was comfortable, the sightseeing spots were amazing, and the company did a great job providing Coca-Cola, water, pineapple, and watermelon for guests. However, I felt that the staff’s behavior could be improved. While other guests were served fruits, we (as Indian travelers) were not offered the same, which made us feel uncomfortable and slightly discriminated against. I hope this was not intentional, but it is something that should be looked into. The company itself is doing a fantastic job with operations and tour quality, but the staff could be trained better in terms of equal treatment and guest service. Thank you.

Exceptional Experience with Eastern Andaman Tours – A Highlight of one if our daily Trips while in Phucket! We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Eastern Andaman Tours and couldn’t be happier with the service, the itinerary, and the incredible memories we made along the way. From the start, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. Everything was well-organized and thoughtfully planned out, which made the entire day stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable. The team clearly knows what they’re doing, and they genuinely care about creating a great experience for their guests. One of the best parts of our trip was the private boat tour. Having our own space gave us the comfort and flexibility we were looking for, and it was the perfect way to explore the islands in a more personal, relaxed setting. The boat was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, and the crew made us feel safe and cared for the entire time. A special shout-out to Mina, who came along with us and took stunning photos throughout the tour. She was not only kind and cheerful but incredibly talented with the camera. Thanks to her, we have so many beautiful memories captured that we’ll cherish forever. The locations on the tour were all amazing. Monkey Beach was so much fun—we laughed so hard watching the monkeys play and interact with the surroundings. Maya Bay was absolutely breathtaking, with its crystal-clear waters and dramatic limestone cliffs. It’s even more stunning in person than in the pictures! But our favorite was definitely the view from Phi Phi Island. It was jaw-droppingly beautiful—like something straight out of a postcard. The crew made sure we had enough time to explore, relax, and soak in the views without ever feeling rushed. Overall, Eastern Andaman Tours provided a top-tier experience, from the kind and attentive staff to the beautiful and well-thought-out destinations. If you’re visiting Phuket and looking for a trustworthy and professional tour company, I highly recommend booking with them. We’ll definitely be using them again on our next visit. Thank you to the whole team for a magical day!

Excursion to the Similan Islands. Departure at 06:00 am from our hotel in Kata Beach with pick-up service. Uncomfortable minivan and driver was going too fast. We arrive at the pier for embarkation. Everything was perfect. Very good organization. Stuff of very nice and friendly young people. They offer you breakfast, snack and small dinner on return. Heavenly islands. Free time for swimming and snorkeling. All perfect

They are seriously stopping on a plastic polluted island and let us wait 30 minutes to depart again. Nobody cleaned up anthing there in weeeeeks. They seem not interested in environmental care at all On the contrary to that at the nice places like PhiPhi Island they only gave us 5 minutes for picturetakting and pressured us to come back and go on with the tour. Hey Seastar Crew: newsflash, i am paying for nature, not to stumble over plastic garbage while your friends from the polluted island try to rent their overpriced JetSki. Very disappointing.

It surprised me how lovely this place is as I had read many bad reviews and didn’t expect to walk into what felt like such a posh, very clean, lovely place! But.. they’ve definitely put prices through the sky as it’s where tourists are I assume.. I refused to eat anywhere here in the end as I just couldn’t believe the prices! It’s the same price as eating in the big cities in Australia! I was going to grab a coffee instead of food and even that was $8, the mushroom spaghetti I wanted worked out to about $14/15.. I just think it’s wrong, but then again I’m not rich enough to stay in those resorts either, I am here volunteering for the Soi dog foundation and walked over an hour to get to this village haha I have to budget wisely!

You can find a variety of shops here; cafes, restaurants, souvenir stores, clothes stores, a supermarket, a pharmacy, a playground and of course the legendary 7 eleven! Good spot to buy stuff if you’re staying at the nearby resorts (Anantara & Marriot). During evenings, they have a mini local market selling beautiful handmade goods.

As a guest staying at Marriott Mai Khao Resort, I really enjoy visiting the nearby Turtle Village Shopping Center. It’s a great spot with plenty to offer — whether you want to go shopping, grab a bite to eat, or just relax with a cup of coffee. They have well-known places like Starbucks, Bonchon, Swensen’s, The Coffee Club, and even a Thai restaurant and souvenir shops. It’s super convenient, especially with a 24-hour 7-Eleven right there — perfect for picking up anything you need at any time. It’s a great little hub that makes your stay even more enjoyable.

Turtle Village - Dinning area and shopping mall in Mai Khao Beach. Inside Turtle Village, there are Starbucks Coffee , Burger King, Pizza Company, Bonchon Chicken, The Coffee Club, Basil Thai Cuisine, Mexican Cuisine, Swensen's Ice Cream, Pharmacy, Currency Exchange, General Store, Souvenir Store, Mini Mart and 7-Eleven. Near Turtle Village are hotels such as Anantara Villa & Resort, JW Marriott Mai Khao Beach Phuket, Renaissance Mai Khao Beach, Sala Phuket, and Anantara Vacation Club.

Turtle Village is a quaint shopping area, but I was extremely disappointed to see a live elephant being kept on display for tourists to feed. It was heartbreaking. The animal was standing in a small, unnatural space with no enrichment and clearly distressed. It was clearly there only for photo opportunities. This type of treatment is outdated and inhumane. Elephants are highly intelligent, social animals that require large environments and proper care. Using them as attractions for tourist entertainment is simply unacceptable. Turtle Village should know better and do better. I hope management removes this display and partners with an ethical conservation organizations instead. Until then, I cannot recommend supporting this establishment. I chose not to photograph the elephant to deny its owners any attention.

Not much except food if u feel not to go to the city Shopping not much less choice

I was very disappointed to see that the resort allows a booth where an elephant is tied up for feeding and photo opportunities. This kind of attraction is unethical and extremely upsetting to witness. I genuinely hope the resort will reconsider supporting such activities and choose more animal-friendly alternatives in the future.

They canceled our tour 12 hour before it was scheduled to start because there was not enough people. These people are out of their minds. We travelled 24 hour across the world. 2 days courtesy notice would have been nice so at least we could try and book another trip. Not sure how this company got their positive reviews but in my book, they are black listed. Don’t rely on them, there are plenty of other companies out their to trust. Don’t let these guys ruin your vacation or honeymoon. Rob and Jill

Great service

For 500 baht you have unlimited golf. It is suggested to go near the evening as it can be quite hot and sweaty. Lucky the place also give you ice cold tower and their cocktail is quite good which is over my expectation.

Great place to enjoy the fun of golf! An 18-hole mini golf course, perfect for spending quality time with family or friends.

A beautiful minigolf with great staff and good food. For 750 baht per person you get to play 18 holes and have full dinner/lunch. It takes about 2 hours to finish everything. Enjoy!

Fun place to go mini golfing. A little expensive, but a fun time. Course is well maintained.

Amazing place for kids and adults. Realistic mini golf. Can spend at least 3 hours here for 18 holes. Best is to go in evening about 4 pm. Wear loose long sleeves and pants to minimise mosquitps

Phuket Adventure Mini Golf offers a delightful family outing. From the creatively designed mini golf courses suitable for all ages to the delicious Thai and Western cuisine served at the onsite restaurant, it’s a place where fun meets great food. With 18 unique mini golf holes and convenient parking, it’s a must-visit for families seeking quality time together.

The service could be more pleasant, but overall, my impression of Thai people is negative. Tourism is their livelihood, but I find the effort lacking. However, I rate the place very highly! It's tidy, clean... like new :) It was a pleasant experience, thank you.

This is the highest waterfall in Phuket, located in a beautiful jungle, surrounded by wildlife and rich flora and fauna. A large number of beautiful plants and trees can be seen on the way to the waterfall. The waterfall is located in the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park. On the territory there is a rehabilitation center for gibbons, whose singing can be heard even in the parking lot. There is also a colorful lake with lotuses. This is a very beautiful place with wildlife, which is worth visiting for people who love hiking in the forest and jungle, and the reward at the end of the journey will be: a clean and refreshing shower from the top of the mountain and great photos. * When visiting this attraction, you need to stock up on water, repellents and have comfortable shoes The best time to visit: June - October Entrance: 200 baht (gives the right to visit the Ton Sai waterfall) Full information with video and easy navigation - in the application 👉 PHUKETON

We did a hike here and it was an exciting experience. There’s no path so you can’t go where we went without a guide as it’s also a restricted area. But it was amazing to see the rainforest and waterfall and listen to the sounds.

Paid 200 bath per person to get in! Well worth it!!! Hardly anyone around too! And the ones that were, were kind and helped us!! The waterfall was absolutely amazing!! So beautiful and 100% would come again ♥️♥️ (We brought bug repellent and that was definitely a good idea)

The place is beautiful! Amazing nature and easy hiking! The whole trail takes up to 20 min to finish and you end up near to amazing waterfall! You can swim in these amazing mini lagunas (but mind the snakes). 100% recommend this place!

The entrance fee for foreigners is 400 baht. After passing through the ticket checkpoint, you’ll find a large parking area, restrooms, and some food stalls. As you head straight inside, you’ll come across a path alongside the stream, with several spots suitable for swimming. If you’re up for it, you can trek all the way to Ton Sai Waterfall. Make sure to follow the marked trail with footprint signs, as the path may change due to fallen trees. It’s relatively easy to walk but also easy to get lost, so stay alert. It’s recommended to bring a compass, have a trail map on your phone, fully charge your battery, and save the office contact number in case you need assistance.

Bang Pae waterfall well it is high season so not much of a waterfall. Unfortunately, it's not that impressive in my opinion. Maybe better when there is more water. Thai 30 baht & Foreigners 400 baht

Tourist bait alert! Entrance fee: 20 baht for Thai people; 400 baht for foreigners. 20 times more expensive, and it's barely worth 100. 10 minutes hike to a little sad waterfall where you can swim, and that's it. (Also pretty slippery rocks so definitely not for everyone to jump in the water) Nothing to see on the way, the monkey rehabilitation center was also closed, and there was garbage on the side of the river. Keep the money for some good shrimp pad thai.

Had the honor to learn from scratch SCUBA diving with Tiin and Julia at Sea Bees Nai Yang this year. Amazing staff and crew members who gave all the right advice for us to grow as divers and opened up to me the amazing underwater world. Strongly recommend tourists/residents on island to trust Paradise Diving to be your escort on your diving journey.

Very happy with the service and Diving from Paradise Diving at The Slate Resort. From booking in advance to taking great care of our schedule to arranging our dive outings to the dives themselves, everything has been extremely well organized and successful. And the diving has been excellent! 100% highly recommend working with the fine people!

A extremely professional company ran by an incredible team. From the moment we stepped inside, we were made to feel part of the "family" with big smiles and warm greetings. Some of the best quality rental dive equipment I've ever seen which shows how much they care about your experience. Lots of fish, healthy coral and great visibility made for and excellent day. Many thanks to the team, we will definitely be back!

I 'm an SDI instructor and TDI Trimix diver and was travelling and diving all over the world so I saw lots of diving centers and dive sites and can compare. In fact I love Thailand, its smiling people, spicy food, Buddha temples, nature and for sure diving. This time I was diving with Sea Bees Diving which is Paradise Diving Asia (old name). This diving center is owned and managed by a German family and I like German punktlich order due to its good time managment in combination with the best Thai service. On the boat a friendly team is cleaning your masks, putting your fins on you not letting you doing anything but enjoy your dives. I did only local dives because it starts at 9:00 am and at 14:00 pm you are free to go wherever you want. Local dive sites are just fantastic and I did not take any trips to islands. I enjoyed every minute of diving with Sea Bees and spending time with a very friendly and client oriented family. I will definetely come again next November.

I am a regularly returning customer to Paradise Diving Asia and won't stop in future :-) The tours are always well organised, the group sizes are reasonable, and people are feeling safe all the way. It is so much fun on the boat <3 The dive training is at a very high standard and all instructors are competent, patient and friendly... what to say more: even my dad started diving at an age over 60 :-) Beside this, Nai Yang is a wonderful place to be!

What a wonderful experience I had!!! I started as a complete diving beginner and ended with my SSI deep dive! I have to admit, I was a bit afraid to start all this diving, and being German I like things to be controlled and well looked after. I have to admit, I was a bit afraid to start all this diving, and being German I like things to be controlled and well looked after ( which in thailand is not always the case) I felt so very much welcomed and and being taken care of. All the staff is so well trained, nice and really looking after you. It was a wonderful feeling to see that nobody pushed me to anything, I could learn the diving at my ease, and felt so secured under water. I can only very very strongly recommend Paradise diving/Sea Bees diving👍👍👍👍👍 Michael & Tiin are wonderful people who make you feel like family… looking so much forward to my next dive ❤️👍

As the team at GEONOX, we've been truly delighted to partner with Paradise Diving Asia for our snorkelling excursions on our field trips. When it comes to safety standards and gear quality, they exceed expectations. It's clear that they take great care in maintaining their equipment, providing an added sense of security for all our participants. Their selection of dive sites is exceptional. Every location is a vibrant showcase of marine life, offering our students an immersive experience into the wonders of underwater ecosystems.

Few people know, but the bridge that a large number of vehicles move across every day from the island to the mainland is not the Sarasin Bridge - this bridge was built in 2011. The Sarasin Bridge is a smaller bridge that is located nearby and has recently become a local landmark. This is a good place to admire the sun setting over the horizon at sunset. This is one of the favorite places of local residents who gather here in the evenings, walk or fish. There are not many tourists here and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the sea separating the mainland and the island and take beautiful photos. Behind the bridge there is a kind of fair, where there are a large number of shops that sell: fruits, souvenirs, clothes and other attributes typical for this type of trading platforms.

I’m a bit puzzled by the rave reviews. [Bridge Name] is essentially… a bridge. It can be a pleasant pause if you’re already driving past—buy a coconut, stretch your legs, snap a picture—but there isn’t much to see or do beyond that. Giving it five stars puts it on the same level as truly exceptional places around the world, which this simply isn’t. Not bad, just not a destination. Worth a brief stop, not a detour.

A good spot to escape from tourist-centric Phuket. There are mainly locals and migrant workers on off-work day. Favorite activities include fishing and picnic. This feels like a real place with real people, not bars and cafes or overpriced restaurants catering to tourists.

The beach — absolutely beautiful, just stunning. The kids? They’re out there splashing, having the time of their lives. The adults? Fishing like pros — I’ve seen it, folks. It’s perfect. It’s like a postcard, but better. No one does beaches like this. Truly world-class. Everyone’s talking about it. Believe me.

Good place to stop. Roadside venders for food and drinks, good fishing andto watch others fishing, great place to watch the sunset, lights on the bridge. People sitting around with there family having a bite to eat together. Mullet run in june. Please please clean up after yourself and enjoy.

Nice views from the bridge and drinks/snacks nearby from the street vendors.

Had a really good day on the Phi Phi Island tour. I would give the tour company itself five stars because they were so professional, and well managed. The boat was modern and well maintained for both cleanliness and safety. The crew is very helpful, and it was a very good buffet lunch. The views of the islands was absolutely stunning for those have not been out to Southeast Asia. The reason for four stars is there are two negatives to be aware of. First, at least this time of year the water is a bit choppy and since you spend about three hours of your day going at 30 to 35 knots between islands, it is very bumpy, and the boat is fairly loud, so you mostly just have to sit there And wait it out in between. Not much the company can do about that, of course. Second is that for the two snorkeling spots, the water is pretty cloudy and there really isn’t that much to see, just a little bit of basic non-colorful coral and a few fish. Having snorkel, in many locations in the Caribbean, it was a bit disappointing. Although the water was very nice for swimming, so that was still a plus. Just make sure you’re going for a beautiful views and a nice atmosphere, not for good snorkeling.

We had an amazing day trip to the Phi Phi Islands by speedboat! The whole experience was well-organized, with stunning scenery and great snorkeling spots. Our guide, Ohma, made the day even better — he was cheerful, kind, and always ready to help with a smile. He kept the group laughing and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Overall, it was a smooth, fun, and unforgettable day — highly recommended!

I have visited so many countries and made a lot of trips. But this one was amazing. They really work hard to make you feel special. Most 'Amazing' ecperience ever. And if you decide to take a ride ask for the best guide ever. His name is Noon. Thank you Noon for everything. You made my day perfect

Had an amazing trip today on the James Bond Tour with Joey and the team on Amazing Boat 12. We were one of the earlier boats to reach each location so we had some quiet time before the crowd set in. Would definitely recommend anyone who wants to go on this tour to sign up with them.

Tommy and his team were great and kept the vibes high, but this Phi Phi Island tour ultimately disappointed us. The quality of the boat (almost no visibility out the sides while seated) and the confusing/frantic pace of the day leading to very little time spent relaxing or enjoying the islands lead to very poor value for money for the $160 AUD we each paid for the day and the extra $20 for the park entry (plus the extra $20 each for the long tail boat that was not included). Only money we saved was when we declined to buy a drink from their friends so we could have somewhere to sit on one island. We also didn't appreciate the pressure to tip big at the end of the tour on top of the $200 we already paid for this experience. Also the introduction mentioned we would get as close as possible to Maya Bay even though it's closed at this time of year, but we didn't go there at all! Would not recommend!

An amazing trip with a wonderful team! We felt very well taken care of, and Dino shared lots of interesting facts and took beautiful photos. We highly recommend this company for their high-quality service.

Today I'm very happy to go to today's program. Both the captain of the boat and the guide Nadia take good care of me. The guide speaks in a beautiful voice, listens comfortably, explains the program with understanding and care. Very good care, friendly and smiling, take good care of friends on the trip and take pictures all the time.

I come for 10 years to Thailand and here I definitely got the best massage in Phuket and one of the best in Thailand. I really felt that the massage was very unique and the therapist felt what I need. She also was very professional doing the massage. I am very happy that I found this place because many massages are doing mass production due to many tourists. Here I haven’t got that feeling.

Highly recommend, my masseuse was able to find and release tension in my upper back and shoulders that I wasn't even aware of. Very professional.

Great value, fantastic service, and separate male and female treatment areas. I was a bit apprehensive of this place as I've seen some negative reviews specifically mentioning the reception staff both on Google and TripAdvisor but my wife and I checked the spa out a day before booking our treatment and on both occasions all of the many staff on the reception were warm and incredibly friendly! This is one of the cheaper massage parlours in the laguna area that also offers a free shuttle service to and from your laguna-based resort, and also one of the cheapest to offer facials (much to my wife's delight!), I highly recommend this place, especially if you don't want to fork out for a potentially overpriced taxi or take a 20 minute walk in the heat before your treatment! Gutted we only visited on our last day in the area as we likely would have returned here, our experience was so good!

The best Thai massage. Very good deal. I had 750THB for 90mins Thai massage. Told the masseuse that I want more legs. She knows where to focus immediately! My partner got an Oil Massage and he loved it. Will definitely come back next time! Made a booking in advance.

I live in Thailand and after 10 years, I kinda know a bit about massages standards :) This place is THE place. All therapists are as good as the others. They pinpoint right away where you need attention, I had a bad muscle tension and nod on my upper back, she went thoroughly with care to fix it. Using several technique of acupressure, knuckles, thumbs, forearms and elbows. Perfect combo. Of course if you are all about very soft relaxing massage they can also provide those, don’t worry. The rates are absolutely reasonable for the quality provided. I’ll keep going back there as soon as I am in Phuket and keep recommending this place.

I have visited Thai Carnation several times. Too be honest - the massage itself is fantastic, they do a great job. The reason I am giving 4-stars is because I feel the service here, in particular at the reception really is quite poor. I find the reception to be quite unfriendly. The reason I still visit is because of how good the massage is.

Hit and miss depending the masseuse. But many of them are very good. You can probably find same quality massage for less money, but it takes time to find. They could invest in new chairs for the foot massage. I used to go regularly. But now I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.

Revolution is a great gym with a bunch of highly skilled trainers that are all very welcoming. They have a very spacious gym that can hold many students at a time when need be. Not to mention there is an amazing cafe right out front the gym which provides nutritious meals which are perfect for after training.

The Muay Thai training sessions were absolutely amazing! The service was perfect, and the trainers were not only skilled but also had a great sense of humor, which made every class really enjoyable. You’ll definitely be exhausted after training, but it’s such a rewarding and satisfying feeling. The man behind the bar is super kind and always ready to help you with anything you need. I would definitely come back to this gym again — highly recommended!

Have been lucky enough to spend 4 weeks at Revolution, amazing gym full of amazing people, world class gym with top Krus who train seriously but also fill the gym with fun, dancing and laughter. Cant rate it high enough 5 stars simply arnt enough!!! Special shout out to Richy on the desk, the man cannot do enough to assist you and make sure you stay is as awesome as possible. Cant wait to come back in the near future 🫶

Ill put this review pretty simply. They breed winners and champions!! We came from Australia to train here at Revolution and we planned to try other gyms aswell, After day 1 my son said no he wants to stay at Revolution and not try any other gyms ! That said alot to me ! If you want a commercial gym were you will hardly get any one on one time with trainers then look elsewhere. Revolution is a raw muay thai gym that focuses on people and their skills and training not bringing in the money and getting you out the door ! Tim and his team of trainers are in my opinion world class and I can’t speak more highly of Sagadpet and Super Boy for what they did with my boy over the 2 weeks then to take him to Bangla Stadium to fight and win with a KO in his first ever full thai rules fight is a testament to their coaching abilities. We have found our Thailand home gym and we hope you find this place to.

My 10yr old son is a young fighter from Australia and we recently spent two weeks training at Revolution, the experience was amazing for him. I also did some sessions and we both felt so welcomed whilst being challenged, learning new skills and refining technique. The trainers are fantastic and really friendly, whilst Richo and Tim were very helpful with sharing local knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciate our time there. We will be back!

On a 2 week holiday Went to this gym As a beginner, very friendly staff, good prices and good gym. First session was given one on one time as it was my first ever muay thai session, experienced patient coaches. Definitely going again.

Our experience at Revolution was amazing. My son and I stayed and trained for 2.5 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The trainers are first class. Sagadphet did soo many rounds of pad work with my son and was amazing with his tips, patience and setting the training at exactly the right level. We also did private training with Bao, Olympic and Joey. Both Bao and Olympic set my training at the perfect level for me, challenging and lots of tips to continually improve. Joey was a superstar! My teenage boy absolutely loved training with him. Joey was very patient, pushed at exactly the right level, constantly mixed up his pad work and above all made training fun and exciting. Such a great person. Group classes were great fun and challenging. All of the trainers really care, just like family. You’re treated as a member, not a number. As soon as Olympic starts the music going his fantastic energy and personality really light up the gym! Richard was also amazing with all his help! Soo good with anything gym related, help with finding places nearby, getting around, booking anything. Such a nice guy!!! Thank you Revolution for our time here, much appreciated.

Dec 2024. A very pleasant service from Mari Tour on our family trip to Khao Yai and Bangkok. The base staff, the guide and driver are all contactable (phone/wassapp) and responsive! Patient, smile and most time follow our needs and request. Incredible Thai !! Our next visit shall be Mari Tour! 😊

Excellent services. The staff was very nice, easy to communicate and very helpful. Our tour guide went over and beyond what we booked, took on a floating restaurant which had very good food. Highly recommended.

Noriyaton & Jailani : Our group booked Mari Tour's minivan for 2 days on 11th & 12th Dec 2017 for our own itineraries in Phuket. And for airport transfer on 15th Dec 2017. Van rental quote per day was reasonably competitive. We went to only where we want to go, as we do not want to follow hurried tour groups. Mari Tour has Malay speaking staffs & understands our needs for prayer breaks in between. So for Malays from Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei & Indonesia : no problems communication-wise. Their staffs are very accomodating, friendly & nice. We enjoyed their friendly service. Would highly recommend to anyone. 👍👍👍👍

Excellent service and food prices compared to some other agencies.

This is the 2nd time using Mari Tours and as usual we had the best experience. Thank you to Mr Anwar and his staff Asna and Aaliya for all our tours. Our safety was always put first and thank you for checking in with us regularly to ensure we were okay. The vans were always prompt fetching and collecting us. Will definately use Mari Tours again and strongly recommend their service.

Very friendly service. Was available on WhatsApp both at late in the night (12:30/1) and early morning (7). Apart from the speedboat, they were also very helpful in arranging inland transport and amazing drivers. Will definitely recommend.

what a best travel agent, i have booked for my company's gathering.. and everyone really happy. and we have so much fun on our 4days trip and our tour guide really helpful and friendly... thank you for your service

Great import options. Great sashimi ready to go. Grabbed, fruit, veggies and breakfast stuff. Staff not very helpful and prices a bit steep. But if you are missing some comforts from home then this hits the spot.

Always a pleasant place to shop! Clean, well-organized, and full of quality products — both local and imported. Staff are friendly and helpful, and it’s easy to find everything for the family in one stop. Great spot for weekly groceries in Boat Avenue.

We go here and the one in Kamala often, as it has imported items so it's the best thing we are getting to 'home comforts'. It seems to be more pricey but it's just like using a supermarket in the UK for example price wise.

Really great second option for a well stocked grocery carrying a wide range of international goods and products after Central Food Hall but I find their prices a bit too high and too prohibitive and the aisles are quite too tiny and tight for a good and relaxing shopping experience. I keep on bumping to other carts and saying sorry way too many times to other shoppers who will get in your way or you’ll bump into.

We stayed in the Laguna area for 2 weeks and this was our (and a lot of expats too) favorite supermarket. It's something oddly comforting to see your favourite UK brands, a Boots do far from home.. They also have local Thai brands mainly in the household items & beauty section. We used to go to the big Tesco Lotus but we ended up throwing away most of the fruit and veg as they were not same quality. Yes it's more expensive, some things outrageously so (like my fave Greek yoghurt) but if you are willing to compromise a little, the diversity of choice and quality of produce is unmatched in Phuket. Some soft drinks like Schweppes Lime are actually cheaper than in 7/11. I did try some awful things like coconut milk ice cream, dried mango, tuna sushi - they were definitely a miss. The prepackaged fruit however pineapple, red melon, yellow mango was lovely. Tried durian also but could not eat more than a mouthful. If you want a little treat to remind you of home, this is definitely the place.

Really good quality markets known as Phuket Night Market on every Friday. Well worth a couple of hours wonderful local foods fruits and seafood plus fashion and the usual goods Lots of good bars and restaurants in the precinct too .Peppers seems to be the go to bar for expat & Food & Co for vino

Fairly well stocked with European and western foodstuffs. Veg is usually fresh, a variety of eggs including free range, deli counter, frozen foods section and alcohol (sales of alcohol limited to local law - time of day) Be aware, it’s not that cheap. However, locally produced fruit juice is as cheap if not cheaper than other local supermarkets. Overall, it’s offers a good shopping experience and you can get most things you need in one place. Another foreign supermarket nearby is ‘Central Food Hall’
