★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 297 reviews · 9 hours · from $32

Review of the 9-hour Khao Lak to Phuket Naka Market trip, with Big Buddha or Chalong Temple, food, shopping, costs, and travel tips.

“This trip is basically a group Taxi to the big Buddha and on to the market. The roads are really busy, it’s a circa 2hr trip 40 min between Buddha and market and 2hrs back. The Buddha is spectacular - but upstaged by the views over Phuket. There are a few bits around and about it, history, other statues - enough to while away an hour. The market is good without being exceptional. We spent a happy 4 hours there which was more than enough. Food choice was a bit sandy - lots of fried and not much spice. Usual stuff fake football shirts, Rolex etc. Have Thai market traders…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 43 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $16Best value

See Phuket Old Town, Wat Chalong, hilltop views, and Sunday Walking Street Market on a five to six hour guided tour.

“Wouldn’t recommend this trip. While you do see some cultural sites and temples, the tour includes mandatory stops at a honey shop and a cashew shop, which aren't mentioned in the itinerary. Although mildly interesting, these stops felt like a waste of time. As a result, there’s less than an hour at the night market, which isn’t enough to properly explore. That time would have been much better spent at the market or the temples (the main reason we booked this tour). If you have no other way to get around Phuket, this tour might be useful, but otherwise you’re better off saving your time and using Grab.”
