Water park
Phuket Wake Park is a paradise for wakeboarding enthusiasts, offering challenging obstacle courses and lessons for all skill levels. The park is known as the best wake park in Asia, providing professional coaching and training cables for beginners. In addition to wakeboarding, visitors can enjoy other recreational activities and fitness training options. After an exhilarating day on the water, guests can relax in comfortable lounges and savor delicious Thai cuisine.
As a bystander this place is amazing, I've watched professionals practice for hours here!! Like world class athletes training here.. just a cool vibe and a fun sport.
James B — Google review
Recommend learning first as the turns on this mechanism is different but once I learnt it it was super smooth and fun, way cheaper than renting out a boat in the ocean and nice obstacles. If you fall in the middle a motorcycle will pick you up and drive you back very promptly. Nice coaches and cable operators, teaching you how to start.
Marcus C — Google review
Our experience at Wake Park was far from good. We had never done wakeboarding in our lives and just wanted to try. The receptionist did not give us any useful information. When asked about at least some information on how to do it, there was no clear response so we had to find out ourselves. We took a practice wakeboard and the staff at the machine is just so terribly unfriendly and does not give any instructions. I understand that this place might be more for "professionals", but the guidance for beginners is to cry for. On top of that, when asked for a simple receipt so that we could use it for our Thai company, they rejected to do that. They could not provide anything! May I remind the business owner that this is absolutely illegal. We paid for your service so we should be able to obtain a receipt somehow. Absolutely ridiculous. Nice though that they gave a cheaper price when I showed my work permit. That is the only good thing I have to say. If you are a beginner, don't waste your time to come here.

Was absolutely amazing! Recommend two hours time flys and till you learn it takes a while (took my husband about 40 min to learn ) totally recommend and worth the price

Decent place for a beginner. Never tried wake surfing before but found it enjoyable. The trainer from Myanmar was very very patient and kind, especially to the kids that were there with us. Not many facilities were open when we went there but enough to have a good time
Derek K — Google review
it was the first time and last. The good thing I had a camera with me and record the training time. The agreement was 30 minutes, unfortunately it was 17 minutes. "they gave me the feeling that you don't know how to do it or you're not worth for training. if you are interested come back again." I was suspicious that was planned from them to make me come back again.

Waterfalls
Nestled in a vibrant jungle setting, Kathu Waterfall is a hidden gem that promises an adventure for all ages. A short trek from the road leads you to this charming spot, conveniently located near Phuket Wake Park. While the base may seem unassuming, with a local eatery serving delicious made-to-order meals, the true beauty lies above. To reach the top of Kathu Waterfall, prepare for an exhilarating climb involving steep stairs and slippery rocks.
The atmosphere is nice. If you go upstairs, the waterfall has beautiful patterns. I can't take pictures because there are a lot of people. I recommend that people who want to take pictures should come on weekdays💚
Nan S — Google review
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

Very cool place. You can swim if you'd like. The coffe place across the bridge is very good for food and drinks. They also have chairs inside the water for a very nice experience

It's beautiful and calm, surrounded by the jungle, it's majestic, humid of course, however the walking can be enchanting if you are a nature lover. If in Phuket don't miss out on this one. Good to go along with family. Kids would enjoy it. The entry is completely free, no tickets required. The best way to reach is to rent a bike, which is quite convenient and budget friendly.
Victor D — Google review
Don't miss out on stopping at the little coffee and bakery shop just over the bridge and beforethe stairs. Steal a moment for yourself and look for the small brook and waterfall to put your feet in the water listen to the falls and enjoy your coffee. A must experience.

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Phuket Mining Museum, situated in Kathu, is housed in a charming colonial-style villa and offers a fascinating glimpse into the island's mining and minerals industry. Open since 2009, this museum features various mine models and a detailed recreation of an opium den, showcasing the history of tin mining in Phuket and its impact on Chinese migration to the area. While some displays are primarily in Thai, it provides valuable insights into the island's pre-tourism era.
This museum gives us a glance of how Phuket used to be in the past. Contradictory from nowadays that every place is more or less a tourist place. I like it but it is not a fancy place but my boys enjoyed it. You can wander for 1-3hours max. If you have time and would like to see phuket in the past I would recommend it.
Be B — Google review
This place appears to be a former tin mine. There’s a large lake in front, likely the old mining pit. The entrance fee for foreigners is 200 baht. The site consists of a circular building with various rooms arranged in sequence. The first room showcases photos and artifacts depicting the history of the site, including a large Chinese-style altar. The next rooms cover topics such as the formation of the universe, mineral formation, and prehistoric times. Then, you’ll find exhibits on tin mining techniques, including digging wells, creating large open pits (like the lake), and sifting riverbed sand. The process of refining and transporting tin via large boats is also displayed. Further along, there’s a section simulating life in Phuket, featuring everyday items, shops, pharmacies, a stage, and even an opium den. Other rooms display traditional clothing and architecture, as well as a library with images from the coronation of the Thai king. Rooms with air conditioning are comfortable, but those without can get quite hot.

a great way to spend an hour or so on a rainy day! the courtyard inside the meuse is beautiful. the exhibits are unique and certainly worth seeing! lots of great spots to take some picture too! there’s a nice little walk you can take around the nearby lake, and also an amazing cafe across the street.

It’s not gigantic museum it self but it’s nice and informal, the best museum on Phuket island with nice territory and atmosphere.

Visited with a friend in October 2025, and was intrigued by the exhibits. I was not expecting it to be that interesting of a museum because it was very quiet with not many visitors. The pond outside is also a nice place to take photos.
Santi ท — Google review
Pretty cheap museum if you have a car to get to it. We visited on a rainy day and was the 1of 2 visitors to the museum that day - clearly not a popular attraction. The exhibition notes and explanations are easily for children to understand. Limited information available in English compared to Thai. The mannequins are a bit unnerving - showing up around corners. It's probably completely fine in big groups but when you're the only people there finding surprise human forms around corners is a rather creepy.

Great museum! Very well maintained! Very impressive in and a nice garden with a lake around. Highly recommended especially for a rainy day

Flying Hanuman is an exhilarating zipline experience that takes you soaring through the lush jungles of Phuket, offering a unique perspective from 40 meters above ground. This adventure features multiple courses and sky bridges, allowing visitors to navigate the stunning hillsides while surrounded by nature's beauty. Before embarking on your thrilling journey, you'll receive important safety information in a cozy bamboo-and-thatch hut equipped with a flat-screen TV.
I really recommend this place. The view is so nice. We went there at the last round of the zip line at 3pm. The light at that time is amazing🤩 The staff who are take care of us are so nice Khun Peter and Khun Wooddy. They are really kind and understand what I want. I went there with my boyfriend and he will always take a photos and videos for me, the staff even suggested me to do the zip line and post to get a good photo, and never rushed us which is so good.

Patong Go-Kart Speedway co.Ltd offers an exhilarating experience for both adults and kids with its recreational racetrack featuring go-karts and off-road buggies. The 750-meter track is designed with sharp curves, bends, and a long straight finish line, providing an adrenaline-pumping adventure for racing enthusiasts.
Review for Patong Go-Kart Speedway and Phuket Offroad Fun Park We had a great time at Patong Go-Kart Speedway and Phuket Offroad Fun Park! The go-kart track was really fun and well-maintained, offering an exciting experience for both beginners and seasoned drivers. The staff were friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly. There’s also a small cafeteria on-site where we could relax and grab a bite after racing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d definitely recommend it for a fun, action-packed day in Phuket!

The price is pricey for 10min. They will ensure that you shall not bang or hit the cart anywhere or else you have to pay for every spare parts if damage. They will warn you and show the “fee” of spare parts.. Thus, you have to be careful, extra careful while go carting. But we did had fun. Please take note if it’s raining heavily, you can’t do the activity. We’ll, Some of our go cart stopped in mid way- they didn’t give extra time to compensate for the time it took for us to change the cart. Hence the 4 star.

So apparently, even if you’re a good driver and follow all the rules, if someone else crashes into YOU—you still have to pay for the damage. The staff literally said, “You have to take care of the kart, no matter what.” Cool. So I drive well, get hit, and still end up paying. Makes total sense. 🙃 Track’s fun, but the policy? Super questionable.

It was just a normal place, nothing special. The go karts were below average and didn’t feel very fast. There was no timing or results, so it didn’t feel like a real race. We were hoping for more fun, but it wasn’t very exciting.

Freedom Beach, located in the lively Patong district, offers a serene and unspoiled setting. Accessible by boat or through an adventurous jungle trek, this 300m strip of white sand provides a peaceful escape from the crowds. With clear turquoise waters and lush greenery as its backdrop, it's an ideal spot for relaxation. Unlike other beaches on the island, Freedom Beach is free from noisy water activities like jet skiing and parasailing.
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
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
Freedom Beach is hands down one of the most beautiful spots in Phuket! 🌴 The walk down is quite steep, part concrete path, then a bit of bush track, but every step is worth it the moment you see that turquoise water and soft white sand. The beach feels hidden and peaceful, yet it has everything you need: a flagged swimming area with surf lifesavers, and the lovely Barefoot Café right on the sand serving food and icy drinks. Perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. A true slice of paradise! 🌊☀️🥥
Yvonne A — 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
Beautiful and heavenly beach. The way down to it and up is not for everyone though. It takes a while and is quiet a difficult road and you can only get there by walking down. Having said that, the hike is so beautiful. There is a nice open restaurant down at the beach but it's very expensive so you should eat beforehand or bring food.
Noy K — Google review
Sadly not the same Freedom Beach anymore. 😞 I visited Freedom Beach about 8 years ago, and it used to be absolutely beautiful – quiet, clean, and wild. Today I came back and honestly felt sad. There were hundreds of people, loud music, and trash everywhere. The beach has completely lost its natural charm and peaceful vibe. It’s still a nice spot, but no longer the hidden paradise it once was.

Beach & Pool Clubs
Paradise Beach, located on the southwestern coast of Phuket near Patong Bay, offers a unique beachfront nightlife experience with parties celebrating the lunar cycle similar to Koh Phangan's Full Moon Party. The beach retains its natural beauty with clear water and white sand flanked by granite rocks. Surrounded by palm trees and turquoise waters, it is an idyllic destination known for its pristine coastline, vibrant coral reef for snorkeling, and dense rainforest for hiking adventures.
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!

Paradise Beach is beautiful and well-kept, with soft sand and clear blue water. It’s quieter than Patong, with a chilled vibe, sunbeds, clean facilities, and beachfront restaurants. There’s an entrance fee, but it’s worth it for a relaxing, comfortable beach day so close to town.

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.

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!

Had a great time at this water park! There’s a wide variety of rides and attractions, so everyone in the family can find something fun to do. The vibe is super relaxed and enjoyable. Just a heads-up the lines for the popular rides can get pretty long (around 20–30 minutes), especially in the afternoon. I’d definitely recommend coming early to make the most of your day. Overall, it’s a fun spot for a full day of family adventure!

Probably the best water park in Thailand if not in Asia. The park is huge with many water slides and other fun attractions for kids at all ages. We went in the low season so the weather was a bit rainy but not too bad at all, so there weren't too many people and almost no queues. We even took a Cabana for 70$ for the entire day, which was awesome beacse the kids had a relatively easy time remembering exactly where we are and come back between slides to eat and drink.

We had an absolute blast here! 🎉 It’s the perfect water park for all ages — there’s something fun for everyone. Just a heads-up: you can’t bring your own towels or even an empty water bottle (like Stanley cups). You’ll need to rent towels and purchase food and drinks inside the park, including water. That said, the food and drink options were great! Prices are a bit higher, but that’s pretty standard for water parks everywhere. We went on a Thursday and it wasn’t crowded at all — such a bonus! The weather was perfect too — a mix of sunny, rainy, and cloudy hours, which actually made for a nice break from the sun. 🌤️ Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun day out in Phuket!

We loved this waterpark! The dives are interesting, it was not too crowdy and you don't need to wait too long for a ride. The security is top notch, i felt safe for the little one. Super clean and fun all around! Recommend for sure! 👌

The place is huge and super colorful – felt like stepping into a water wonderland. Rides were crazy fun, from lazy river chilling to adrenaline-pumping slides that had me screaming like a kid. The wave pool was a total vibe, especially with music playing in the background. Staff were friendly, food was decent (a bit pricey, but that’s normal for parks like this), and everything felt clean and well-maintained. Perfect spot to spend the whole day if you’re in Phuket. Just don’t forget sunscreen – I got roasted! 🌞💦

A sprawling water park with lots of fun slides. We went with a 5 year old who loved it. There is a wave pool and some intense slides, which we could not try out. There are good eating options on site and outside food and water is not allowed. A fun filled experience which will take up most part of the day. Check out online discounts before buying tickets at the entrance.

Malin Plaza is a bustling night market located in lively Patong, offering a wide variety of goods and street food. It's well-known for its beachwear, Thai spa products, and traditional handicrafts. The market provides a cooler shopping environment compared to other busy markets in the area. Visitors can explore tabletop stalls, re-purposed shipping containers, and more under a metal roof.
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!

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 😊🤗🤗😊

Unfortunately we found this market on our last night of our 14 night stay on Phuket. It was the bustling night market that I had been seeking. Plenty of great food, bars for cold beers and the merchants opening price were half of the other markets. A must visit when in Patong. Shout out for Namo Bar, great staff, a pool table, a great spot to people watch.

I came to this restaurant again because I used to enjoy it and visited often last year. This time, the place was almost empty. I ordered a glass of wine to start and waited. After quite a while, I noticed the wine was poured and placed on the bar, but it was never brought to my table. The waiter and bartender were standing nearby, yet no one served it. Later, the waiter came over and told me that my order was not available. I asked again, and they repeated that the drink was not available. My menu was taken away from the table while I was still choosing my dinner, and the glass of wine I had ordered remained standing on the bar. I’ll let you decide what to think about this experience.

If you're seeking a whimsical adventure in Phuket, look no further than the Upside Down House Museum, also known as Baan Teelanka. This vibrant three-story attraction is a visual delight where everything is turned on its head—literally! Guests enter through the roof and navigate their way through rooms that challenge perception, with furniture seemingly glued to the ceiling. It's an ideal spot for families and friends to unleash their creativity while snapping quirky photos amidst optical illusions.
This place is so under rated! I had so much fun here and there are a number of activities to do. Not only they are fun but the staff is absolutely amazing. They genuinely have fun with you. This place is a stress buster, family friendly even though I just went with my husband. Its a local business you would want to support and come again. 100% recommend!!!
Gunveen S — Google review
This place is good to take some funny and creative photos to visualise you in an upside down house. They also have a drunk house which is an angled house which looks like a levelled one, so you feel drunk when you are inside. This place is good for several activities and also for video creations. There are some other activities as well, but you may need to check the prices and decide what suits you best. At the end they provided a game and if we win, we will get a refund for the tickets. However the game for us was not easy, but it was funny.

We were in the neighborhood on a rainy day and decided to give this a go. There are many other things to do such as the trash room and a maze, but we did not have time for that. The value for money for just the entrance to the Upside Down House is very bad. It is quite expensive for a visit. If you are really into showing off on social media, this might be a good place for you perhaps. It was nice though that they gave a reduced price upon showing my work permit as a foreigner. The staff was super friendly too!

I really liked the place, it makes you feel like you're in Graffiti Falls. The staff at the complex is really kind, they were smiling and polite and gave me ideas for good photos. Additionally, inside the complex there is a plant maze outside, very nice. There is an escape room that I liked less (not very well thought out). There is also an anger room for breaking things, and a drunkenness room. Recommended for families and groups of people

Regular Thai Cabaret with overdressed Kothoey. Not a risqué show. Few kids in the audience. The production is smooth and the transition between the dances is seamless. Dances from various countries with stage props reflecting the countries. Not sure if I would recommend a friend to go for it. For 1000 baht for a live show is something you can consider if it’s your first time in Thailand.

I insisted that my 34 year old attend the show with me. She pouted all the way and once the show started she was singing along with the songs, dancing in her seat and pointing out things. I love musicals and this show had a variety of songs, including mash ups and the costumes were gorgeous. I still don’t know how many dancers were in the show and can’t figure out how they managed to fit on stage without tripping over someone. This is a wonderful show and you won’t regret going. There are three shows each night. Photos before and after are allowed but not during the show and the performers met the crowd in the lobby so that photos could be taken.

Really welcoming experience, the bar service behind. The red rope was superb, beautiful room and prompt friendly service. Fantastic show, amazing dancing amazing outfits and Amazing sets. I'm a big sound guy and it's the best theatre sound system I've heard in years. Thai, American, comedy, something for everyone. My favourite number was the Bollywood extravaganza. Just wow. Loved the exquisite hand control of all the 'female' lead dancers. I'd heartily recommend, but watch out for the 200baht per person per photo charge at the line up. Have one photo with two people and its 400 baht (£10 or 14USD), so that can easily rack up a big bill given a cast of 100s. Just walk past if you don't want to pay. My video is of the pre show in the lobby. Video is not allowed in the show itself.

Entertaining cabaret show with talented performers and dazzling costumes! The theater is well-maintained and clean with comfortable seating. The venue has good security and feels safe for visitors.

Directly near the coastline there is a road, noise from it does not create a cozy atmosphere. Traffic is frequent. To call this place a recreation area can be called with a great strain, rather it is an intermediate resting point near the waves, between the planned route. The beach itself is practically deserted (a sharp contrast to the famous tourist center Patong, north of which it is located), there are no sun beds and umbrellas, it is unsuitable for swimming. This is a medium-sized beach, its length is 900 meters. In the evening there are a lot of locals here selling food and quick snacks, so at this time it is especially crowded, there may be a problem with parking. The flora is not rich, all the greenery is across the road from the coast. The water in the sea here is clean (the bottom is strewn with stones), the entrance is shallow. The sand is hard, yellow-gray in color. Kalim is exposed to the tides (follow them in the appendix). Full information with video and easy navigation - in the app 👉 PHUKETON

Bang Wat Reservoir is a serene and spacious location perfect for running, walking, or simply unwinding. The area offers ample parking and well-maintained surroundings with refreshing greenery. The reservoir itself provides picturesque views and a nearly 6km loop for various outdoor activities. While the area is ideal for exercise and leisurely strolls, amenities such as shops may be limited during certain seasons. Despite this, the beautiful natural scenery makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
The entire reservoir can be walked around on an asphalt path. It is a very nice walk, even in the afternoon there is shade in many places. There are very few people there. A great way to escape the tourist crowds and spend some time in nature. There is a large parking lot by the access road.

🏃‍♀️ Bang Wad Reservoir – a hidden gem for runners in Phuket! 🌿 Absolutely lovely place if you're looking for a peaceful, scenic running route. The full loop around the lake is about 8 km, making it perfect for long runs, brisk walks, or even just a reflective stroll in nature. You’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and calm water views most of the way. It’s quiet, clean, and feels like you’ve stepped out of the city into a tropical oasis. 🌳🦋 That said, I highly recommend going with a friend or in daylight hours — some parts of the loop get quite jungle-like and dim, especially on cloudy days. It’s not unsafe, but it can feel a bit too isolated if you're alone. 🥤No shops around the trail, so bring water and maybe some mosquito spray if you're heading out early or late. ✨Whether you're a runner, walker, or just someone who enjoys nature, Bang Wad is worth the visit — calm, green, and full of Phuket charm.

Phuket Wake Park is a sports complex that offers accommodation and other recreational activities. It includes an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, and bar.
As a bystander this place is amazing, I've watched professionals practice for hours here!! Like world class athletes training here.. just a cool vibe and a fun sport.

Recommend learning first as the turns on this mechanism is different but once I learnt it it was super smooth and fun, way cheaper than renting out a boat in the ocean and nice obstacles. If you fall in the middle a motorcycle will pick you up and drive you back very promptly. Nice coaches and cable operators, teaching you how to start.

Our experience at Wake Park was far from good. We had never done wakeboarding in our lives and just wanted to try. The receptionist did not give us any useful information. When asked about at least some information on how to do it, there was no clear response so we had to find out ourselves. We took a practice wakeboard and the staff at the machine is just so terribly unfriendly and does not give any instructions. I understand that this place might be more for "professionals", but the guidance for beginners is to cry for. On top of that, when asked for a simple receipt so that we could use it for our Thai company, they rejected to do that. They could not provide anything! May I remind the business owner that this is absolutely illegal. We paid for your service so we should be able to obtain a receipt somehow. Absolutely ridiculous. Nice though that they gave a cheaper price when I showed my work permit. That is the only good thing I have to say. If you are a beginner, don't waste your time to come here.

Was absolutely amazing! Recommend two hours time flys and till you learn it takes a while (took my husband about 40 min to learn ) totally recommend and worth the price

Decent place for a beginner. Never tried wake surfing before but found it enjoyable. The trainer from Myanmar was very very patient and kind, especially to the kids that were there with us. Not many facilities were open when we went there but enough to have a good time

Cool place. Towing system is ok and runs smoothly. Suggest to find instructor in your language first for beginners. Fun, but you got to be fit.

My friends and I booked a 5 day holiday here to ride for the week. By the 2nd day all 3 of us had staph infections and really bad headaches. The water is extremely dirty. Avoid. Much better places and cleaner to ride in ASIA.

I hosted my sons birthday here - they were really wonderful about planning for the event, accommodating a larger group, coordinating a photographer, leading the children in laser tag, adjusting the music, and assisting with decorations. There was horrible traffic the day of his party and they also gave us a little extra time to wrap up the event. Fantastic experience start to finish and the children had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

Absolutely worth it! Battlefield Phuket is an amazing place for both kids and adults. The arena is well-designed, clean, and exciting—with great lighting, props, and hiding spots that make the game super fun and immersive. The equipment is high-tech and easy to use, even for beginners. The staff were friendly, helpful, and explained everything clearly before the game. They made sure everyone felt safe and had fun. Great service from start to finish.. Whether you're with friends, family, or coworkers, this is a perfect indoor activity in Phuket. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely come back again!

We celebrated my son’s 11th birthday here, and it was amazing! The kids had so much fun playing laser tag — exciting missions, great equipment, and very friendly staff. Everything was well organized, and the place felt safe and clean. Highly recommend

My recent visit was a blast. The arena was well-designed, and the equipment provided was top-notch, delivering precise shots. The staff were incredibly friendly, offering clear instructions and creating a positive atmosphere. The facility was clean, and the lighting effects enhanced the immersive experience. With a variety of game modes, each round felt unique. The staff's attentiveness and commitment to customer satisfaction were commendable, making it a highly recommended spot for a thrilling and enjoyable adventures.

Terrible marketing strategy, especially during the rainy season. I was driving in the dark while it was raining and didn’t even notice this was placed on my car. The paper got caught by the rain and my windshield wipers, ending up obstructing my view while driving. Definitely not interested.
Patricia B — Google review
We’ve tried several Laser Tag arenas in Phuket and all across Thailand because we truly love this game — but Battlefield Phuket beats them all! It’s on a whole different level, even compared to the big Laser Tag centers in Europe. Huge arena, amazing atmosphere, and top-notch equipment — simply the best Laser Tag experience in Phuket!
Mary S — Google review
Grate staff, friendly manager. The equipment is very high quality and modern, it is a pleasure to play with it. The game lasted one hour. Before the game, we had a ten-minute briefing, they showed us how the equipment works.  You can choose a small pistol for a child and girls or a larger rifle for guys)) I liked that all weapons have electronic screens where you can see how much health and ammo you have left.  All rifles with comfortable sights, rifles are visually similar to real weapons but light in weight.  We played in our clothes without additional protection, the playing field is clean and there is no danger because there is no paint like in a paintball.  The enemy’s attack is detected by sensors on the head.  But if you wish, you can take overalls, but it will be hot in it.  We  come only 2 people, so we were teamed up with other visitors.  I think that for a large company you can book the entire playing field.
