More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin before dawn on a humid Phuket morning, the air carrying salt from the Andaman while the island wakes. A winding coastal road climbs to Karon Viewpoint: three steep bays spread below like pages, the ocean daring you to keep your camera ready. From there the tour threads into Wat Chalong, where gilded chedis and the stories of monk-heroes who quelled a 19th-century miner rebellion feel present in every carved beam.
