    This is defo not for the faint hearted. Sensory overload combined with dirty old man central. Although it was an experience the sad starkness of blatant exploitation is jarring. As they say 'where there's muck, there's money'! This place is the dictionary definition at its finest...

    The biggest Buddha statue I've ever seen in my life and worth to see in Thailand. Very traditional and authentic vibes. I had a good time.

    Nice sunset view!! But a bit crowded and the water is not so clear. The tides gets low and you have to walk a litlle to be able to swim.

    Amazing experience and very ethical company. We got to bath and shower the elephants as well as feed them. There is an official photographer and the photos are free to download of Facebook. The toilets and showers were immaculate and also provided shower gel and shampoo. The wives of the keepers provide a beautiful Thai buffet and there is a constant flow of coke, sprite and water. All in all, the best thing I have ever done in holiday.

    Banana Beach in Thailand is a hidden gem! The water is crystal clear, and the beach is super peaceful—perfect for relaxing or snorkeling. It feels like a little slice of paradise, away from the crowds. Definitely worth the boat ride to get there!

    A long beach, much quieter than the Patong one. Was quite clean. Fine sand. Had quite a number of sun umbrellas and beach chairs available for rent at 100 baht.

    Relatively small, attractive beach full of mostly European tourists. No waves when I was there. Massages offered beachside.

    This hotel is stunning, beautifully decorated but the location is both a blessing and a curse, views are great but you can’t walk anywhere and have to gets taxis or tuk tuks. Patong beach is just a couple of miles away but takes about 40 mins by taxi due to traffic, strongly recommend to go the other way to Kamala beach and use “blue umbrella” sunbed service for a relaxing day at the beach

    Lots of shops & stalls within the mall, so much choice you don’t know where to look but stores like Robinson’s & Skechers to stall selling traditional Thai wares or vast amounts of trainers or Thai clothing, it’s huge so do expect to get lost!

    The park is good but the show is average. It is like a Russian circus with trapeze artists and elephant stunts. You need not regret if you miss this in your Phuket Itinerary.
