Time travel
Traveling from Koh Samui to Phuket, beginning the Phuket adventure
We took a high-speed ferry from Koh Samui to Phuket with Lomprayah company, which cost around $30. After arriving in Phuket, we checked in at the Amari Phuket resort near Patong Beach. This resort was well-equipped and cost approximately $150 per night.
On these platforms, you'll find a multitude of options and competitive prices. We've been using them for many years!
Water Activities: Surfing, Scuba Diving, and Sailing
Phuket is famous for its water activities, so we decided to try surfing, scuba diving, and sailing. We booked a surfing lesson at Surf House Phuket for about $50. For scuba diving, we worked with All 4 Diving Dive Center, which cost around $100. Lastly, we rented a sailboat at Kata Beach for approximately $30.
Visiting the Underwater World, Enjoying the Colorful Coral Reefs and Marine Life
We joined a coral reef tour with Jungle Xtrem Adventures, which cost around $70. During the scuba diving, we enjoyed the colorful coral reefs and various marine life, including turtles, clownfish, and tropical fish. My girlfriend said that this scuba diving experience was one of the most unforgettable experiences of her trip to Thailand.
Phuket Seafood Feast
At night, we enjoyed a delicious Thai seafood feast at the seaside restaurant Kan Eang @ Pier. Located in Chalong Bay, the restaurant had an elegant atmosphere. We tasted the steamed seafood platter, spicy and sour shrimp soup, and pan-fried fish fillet, costing around $40 per person.
Unexpected Hot Air Balloon Tour
After dinner, we stumbled upon a hot air balloon carnival nearby. We decided to take a hot air balloon ride to enjoy the view of Phuket. The hot air balloon tour cost around $60 per person.
Day 5 of our Phuket adventure allowed us to experience water activities and the beautiful underwater world. This trip to Thailand left us with unforgettable memories and experiences. We not only tasted delicious food, experienced the cultural atmosphere, and had an intimate interaction with lovely elephants, but also participated in a wild party and exciting water activities. My girlfriend said that this was one of the most beautiful moments we spent together.
Although our five-day trip to Thailand was brief, it was filled with laughter, surprises, and unforgettable memories. From Bangkok’s food, Chiang Mai’s ancient city, the elephant sanctuary, Koh Phangan’s Full Moon Party, to Phuket’s water activities and the underwater world, we enjoyed Thailand’s scenery and culture to the fullest.
