Day 3
Tired of the beach now? Leave Similan Islands and head to FantaSea show. It is the Phuket island’s biggest show and showcases Thailand’s culture and is also inspired by Thai traditions. There are trapeze artists, performing elephants and other animals, illusions, stunts and acrobatics all together make up a great fantasy show mixed with tradition. They also have one of the biggest buffets in Asia (about 4000 seats) offering Thai and international cuisines. A carnival village with games to play and a lot of shopping opportunities will impress and entertain you and your friends and family if you’re not traveling solo.
Day 4
To see what slightly NSFW disctrict filled with cabaret shows of all sorts is, spend a long day at Patong Beach and Bangla Road. During the day you can do many water sports at Patong Beach and have a nice thai massage and relax. When the sun sets, that’s when Bangla Road comes to life. Stroll through here with an open-mind and a sense of humor and see how the nightlife is with ladyboys, exotic girls and westerners form old to young. Have some fun in the nightclubs here or just enjoy people watching the crowd of “diversity”. You still have a day 5 coming, so make sure you don’t stay up too late, and drink a bottle of water before going to bed.
Day 5
It is your last day of the 5-day itinerary, so you need to see some wats and culture of Thailand. Wat Chalong is Phuket’s most important temple to visit. It holds an interesting history and is decorated very beautifully. Make sure to dress respectfully and cover shoulders and knees!
While you are here be sure to also visit The Big Buddha on top of Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata. It can be seen from far away and when you are on top of the 45 meters high hill you will have a 360-degree panorama view of Phuket. It is worth seeing especially during sunset you will have an amazing view!
