Gibbons Rehabilitation Project
Poachers illegally hunting the gibbons, during the past ten years, has led to the numbers of Gibbon being reduced alarmingly. The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GRP), a division of the Wild Animal Rescue Foundation of Thailand (WAR), aims to save gibbons and their rainforest habitat. Visit the GRP at the Bang Pae Waterfall, Pa Khlok, and find out more about how you can help.
Big Buddha
It's hard to miss this 45 meter (148 feet) tall marble statue peering down at you as you journey through the south of Phuket. Big Buddha sits serenely atop the hill at the end of Soi Yot Sane 1, which runs off the West Chao Fa Highway in Chalong. Though the statue itself is big enough to be taken in from afar, it's worth heading up to its base to both enjoy the view and learn more about it. Find out just how much concrete and white jade marble did it take to construct the enormous statue, along with many other factoids about its upkeep. Donations to the project are welcomed and, as this is a holy site, conservative dress is strongly encouraged.
Phang Nga Bay
Phang Nga Bay straddles the three main districts of Krabi province, and is one of the busiest day-trip spots out of Phuket. There are two popular spots here - with its signature rocky pinnacle, James Bond Island is spectacular and was so named because 'The Man With The Golden Gun', one of the James Bond films, was shot at this island. Ko Panyi, a remarkably beautiful village, the whole of which is built over the water on stilts, is the other attraction that is perfect for a quick lunch and some souvenir shopping.
Wat Chalong
Located on the outskirts of Phuket Town, Wat Chalong is the largest and most visited Temple of the area. Featuring a gilt statue of Luang Por Chaem and Luang Por Chuang, the temple is considered one of the most beautiful on the island. Chaem and Chuang are monks known for their heroic effort in helping quell the Chinese Coolie rebellion of 1876. The temple has impressive architecture and gives great insight on Buddhism and its practices. For peace of mind and Thai history lesson, visit this sacred spot.
Phuket Trickeye Museum
Phuket Trickeye Museum is a fun museum known for its collection of interactive 3D paintings. The collection includes an array of permanent and temporary exhibits which not only lets your creative thoughts flow but also changes the way you visualize art. People usually come here to take photograph themselves as a part of the scene or the picture, leaving with funny and unforgettable memories to cherish.
Hat Kata
Situated on the southern tip of Phuket, Kata Beach overlooks the massive Andaman Sea. It is a popular spot for tourists, as well as, locals looking to get some fresh air, take a stroll or go for a swim. At the many cafes and restaurants situated by the beach, you can relish local delicacies while watching the sun slowly set into the sea.
