One of Thailand’s most beloved holiday destinations, Phuket invites visitors with a mix of culture, nature and exciting nightlife adventures. Stop by on a short visit, and curate the perfect 3 day itinerary for your holiday in Phuket.

Exploring Phuket Town 

With Sino-Portuguese shophouses and heritage streets, Old Town Phuket adds a vibrant splash of colour to your sightseeing tour. Discover charming street-art that blends contemporary designs with island culture, a delightful contrast to the luxury hotels of Phuket. Or, visit the many charming cafes, boutique shops, and local markets.

Visit An Elephant Sanctuary 

Dedicate part of your day to visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary. Sites like Phuket Elephant Care, located a short drive from Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, are excellent destinations to learn about elephant rescue. Spend time feeding them, walking alongside them, and watching them bathe in their natural habitat. It’s an educational and heartwarming experience that supports wildlife conservation.

Temple-Hopping Tour

Discover Phuket’s spiritual side with a temple-hopping tour. Visit Wat Chalong, the island’s most important temple, or Wat Lipon, for the impressive golden statue of Buddha. These serene sites provide a glimpse into Thailand’s rich culture.
