Morning light slices across the Andaman as the minivan hums toward Phromthep Cape — salt on the air, palms shading the road. On a full-day private loop of southern Phuket, travelers move between scale: cliff-top ocean vistas, the quiet, broad shoulder of the Big Buddha, the ornate complex of Wat Chalong, and the painted facades of Old Town. Each stop reads like a different chapter of the island.
