The environment is very good, the service staff is very friendly, and the food is rich. Considering the high food prices in Patong, this place is really affordable. It is recommended to come early because there will be a lot of people after 9 o'clock.

I had a great time on the Half-Day Phuket City Tour via Klook! The itinerary covered beautiful spots like Karon Viewpoint, Wat Chalong, and Old Town, with a friendly and informative guide. It was well-organized and comfortable, though a bit rushed at some stops and included a few touristy shop visits. Still, a good way to see the highlights in a short time—worth

It's worth a visit, especially if you're bringing children. I highly recommend it^^ They even feed and bathe the elephants, and the kids are very satisfied^^

Transfers were great and well organised. Our tickets we picked up told us where to go when we were finished for our transport back. Ours was a different car, driver & passengers. The buffet dinner was amazing, from the restaurant to the foods on offer. Most of the Pre show entertainment was probably suited more for children but it still made us smile. The show itself was amazing. Something that all ages would enjoy.
