Phuket FantaSea show

Loosely based on a fantasy on Thai culture, the show features humour, tear-jerking love scenes, magic tricks, a menagerie that would put the Bronx Zoo to shame and wonderful lighting effects. Showtime is at 21:00 everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays.

DAy 5 ------>Saturday(till 19:00 local time)

Discover Phuket BEACHES

visit the Patong beach which is about 15 kms from the town. This is the most developed beach in Phuket, where one can shop, relax, and take part in beach sports and other recreational activities. You can see many people sun bathing by the sea side. You can also try some adventure sports like snorkeling, sailing and diving

Next go to the Panwa beach, which is 10 kms from the town. One can visit the Marine Biological Research Centre in the southern tip of the beach, where numerous varieties of ostentatiously colorful marine species are housed in Phuket’s Aquarium

Then go to the Kata Beach which is 17 kms from the town. It is considered to be the gem of Phuket for its clear water lined by supercilious mountains and the Bu island on the offshore. Kata beach, which is more peaceful than gives you a glimpse of village life

Move on to Suay Restaurant to savor flavors of North eastern Thai cuisine. The Capuccino Tom Kha with sea scallop soup, the glass noodle salad and the pan-seared foie gras with orange-pepper sauce are dishes which are worth giving a try

end your day’s trip with a nice Thai massage, which is a vital part of the country’s experience

Some of the best places for a Thai massage in Phuket are

Gae’s Massage and Sauna: (On Saiyuan Road, Nai Harn, Phuket) - famous with locals and has few great massages and saunas which are offered in a beautiful pastoral location

Phuket Royal Spa and Massage: (67/63-64 Yaowarat Road, Phuket Town, tel: (076) 236 663.) is a high-class choice in the Sam Kong area, offering exceptional massage services and includes herbal sauna.

somehow I feel if I go with above plan :) I might miss out few "must see" places and end wasting time in other not so great places...please help at earliest as I need to book my tickets :)

Thank you in advance

Dear Traveller 20132013,

Hopefully I can after having a bex and a good lie down help you out with your intinerary...

Day1

You might be a little weary after your flight so yes some shopping and maybe a visit to Junceylon to visit the supermarket to prehaps buy some snacks etc ..the water fountain show well it may hapen whilst you are there on the first day if not then prehaps another day.

Day 2

I would hire a driver Giles advised you and tell them what you would like to see you can stop at any of the beaches along the way which will give you a extra day to maybe relax ..

Day 3

Organise a Boat tour to say Phang Nga Bay which has some wonderful sights I recommend you book with a reliable operator.

Day 4

Maybe a walking tor of Phuket town and prehaps do Fantasea in the evening the driver you have hired for your day tour should be able to organise you good tickets at a good price.

Day 5

some more shopping maybe ? and eat some lovely thai food and relax before you fly home

Hey Thank you very much Mr &Mrs Lozza ,for your valuable suggestions ,will modify my plans .The link is quite helpful.will check further in it.

QUick query :Are both islands i.e. phi phi & Phang Nga Bay identical ?Can one choose to skip visit to one of these islands?

Thanks much! appreciate it :):)

Lozza2559 · Answer

Dear Traveller20132013,

I think you will get better value out of the Phang Nga tour as it is a bay that has many islands where Phi Phi is just one island and takes longer to get to . that is just my opinion others may disagree.

Cheers

Phang Nga Bay gets my vote too. Having done both places and both are special, In my opinion, Phang Nga wins hands down every time. Probably why I have done Phang Nga trip, 4 times (5 and 6 already booked) and Phi Phi only once
