Phuket Explorer - Half Day Tour
The largest island in Thailand, Phuket is frequently referred to as the "Pearl of the Andaman" or the "Pearl of the south." Phuket offers guests much more than what most people think of when they hear about our island: serene blue waters, miles of white sand beaches, bright sunshine, a rainforest for hiking, and world-class scuba diving. Phuket City is a popular tourist destination because of its breathtaking Sino-Portuguese architecture. Travelers from all walks of life have always been impressed by the island's unique culture and way of life.
Discover Phuket Island's hidden gems by taking a full- or half-day trip that takes you through our rich history, distinctive culture, and picturesque landscape. Off-the-beaten-path locations and people are carefully concealed behind all the newest resorts.
Old Phuket Tour, a local business founded in 1992 with the goal of organizing tours that promote the culture and way of life of the inhabitants, is in charge of The Phuket Explorer. Our products have been highly successful for over 20 years thanks to our beneficial collaboration with renowned Phuket locals and history professors at the local university. We take great pride in the fact that we work to promote and educate tourists from all walks of life about the history and culture of the amazing island of Phuket. Not what most tourists see, but how Phuket used to be before its numerous resorts became the primary source of income for its residents.

Yaowarat Bangkok Food Tour
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Bangkok! We booked through Phuket Travel Store, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Our guide was excellent—friendly, informative, and full of interesting stories about Bangkok's Chinatown and its amazing food scene. We sampled a fantastic variety of authentic dishes at local eateries and street food stalls, all of which were delicious. The portions were generous, the pace was relaxed, and the experience felt very authentic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok. Booking through Phuket Travel Store made everything easy, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!

Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten! Keine Shows, kein Reiten - die Elefanten werden mit Respekt behandelt. Wir konnten sie futtern und mit ihnen spazieren.
