Arrive at Phuket Old Town, the historical district is a must-see in the city. Admire Phuket’s Old Sino-Portuguese buildings, built more than 100 years ago. These buildings portray Thai characteristic and heritage although architecturally they are a mix of Chinese and European styles.
Enjoy a scenic view from Khao Rang Hill, a great viewpoint, to Phuket Town and to the southern part of the island. Some of the offshore islands can be seen by going to the top of Khao Rang Hill, on the city’s northwest. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant which is not included in the price.
Continue to Wat Chalong, Phuket’s most beautiful and renowned monastery. It enshrines the gilt statues of monk-hero luang Pho Chaem and his assistant Luang Pho Chuang, both much revered by local people because of their roles in quelling the miner rebellion in 1876.
Finally head to Phromthep Cape, the island's southernmost point with a spectacular view to the sea and offshore islands. It is like a huge eternity pool from which you can mentally project the far-flung shores of Sri Lanka and the Indian Subcontinent. On the top of the hill stands a busy car park where vehicles disgorge crowds of people from every corner of the world. Cameras flash, fingers point and lovers cuddle as Phuket's most fabulous free show is re-enacted nightly – the sunset.
Drive back to Krabi where you will arrive at your hotel at around 4pm.
