Thailand · PHUKET TOURS
Phuket is less a destination than a departure point. The 15 below cover Phang Nga Bay, the Phi Phi speedboats, the Similan run and the days that never leave the island, each priced and clear about how early the pickup is.

Review of Phuket’s Phang Nga Bay big-boat tour, with canoeing, James Bond Island, buffet lunch, hotel transfers, and practical booking tips.
“Excellent value for the money. Delicious food, incredible entertainment while on the boat, awesome kayaking activities, and the stops were organized and well timed. This trip had it all. Only thing I think should be improved is the transfer from the boat to the james bond island via the large long tail boat. That thing was falling apart and fell unsafe. People had to walk along super narrow edges to get to their seats. Fine for young people but dangerous for older or people with poor mobility or balance. Anyway, best way to spend a day while in Phuket.”

“probably one of the best waterparks i have been to, was clean and so many lifeguards they are really strict with weight limits and have scales at the top of the rides before you all get on to check your combined weight for the ride. we got there at 10am and managed to do all the busy rides before it got busier that being said I wouldn't exactly call it busy either. Food was a little higher priced but was good, me and my 12 yo had an amazing day there”
