Phuket<br />

Best known for its tropical beaches, Thailand’s largest island<br />

is ideal for a culture-filled beach holiday. Phuket’s Old Town is<br />

teeming with interesting streets to discover, where you'll find a<br />

string of vibrantly painted townhouses, museums, and a Sunday<br />

market. It’s definitely worth the trip to see the 45 metre tall white<br />

marble Big Buddha that perches out over Nakkerd Hill.<br />

Ride in a Tuk Tuk<br />

Renowned across Thailand and ideal for short trips, a tuk tuk is<br />

the perfect way to get around Phuket. You’ll find these small redpainted<br />

motorised vehicles everywhere. An unusual feature only<br />

found in Phuket is that they have four wheels compared to the<br />

typical three wheels you find in other regions.<br />

Unwind with an Authentic Thai Massage<br />

A quintessential part of Thai culture, you’d be bananas to come<br />

to Thailand and not get a Thai massage. Our favourite place is at<br />

Cape Panwa Hotel, located right on a long stretch of sandy beach.<br />

The Cape Spa is a welcoming, spacious, and tranquil space that<br />

honours traditional techniques.<br />

SUGGESTED STAY<br />

CAPE PANWA HOTEL<br />

Khao Lak<br />

Khao Lak is quite simply a natural haven, where a pristine<br />

coastline of white sandy beaches overlooking the Andaman Sea<br />

join a bountiful jungle that's rich with wildlife. When you’re not<br />

sunbathing, swimming, or surfing, we do suggest you explore.<br />

Venture into the Wild<br />

Khao Sok National Park is an amazing place to trek if you fancy a<br />

break from the beach. There are incredible waterfalls to discover<br />

here, such as the three-level Lampi Waterfall, or the rainbow<br />

waterfall of Sairung, not far from the boutique resort, The Sarojin.<br />

In conjunction with the Mangrove Forest Planting Project, your stay<br />

at The Sarojin ensures at least one tree is planted on your behalf. If<br />

you happen to be visiting on the day the monthly tree planting takes<br />

place then you are welcome to take part, and it’s just one of many<br />

community projects that guests can participate in.<br />

Tuck into Street Food<br />

While the street food scene is popular across Thailand, the Bang<br />

Niang Night Market is a fantastic place to tuck into Thai cuisine.<br />

Right before your eyes, watch as stallholders cook, smoke, and grill<br />

dishes, such as stir fry, noodles, and spring rolls. While the more<br />

popular plates feature veg, egg, chicken, and local seafood, if<br />

you’re feeling adventurous you can also snack on fried insects!<br />
