Phuket
Our tour starts in Phuket. This resort town is best used as a base from which to make daily excursions to the nearby islands. The famous Patong Beach serves as a great first impression of Phuket.

The combination of tasty cuisine, rich culture and good company creates an unforgettable experience.
The later evening is all about partying. Some of the most buzzing nightlife on earth can be found in Phuket, specifically on Bangla Road. There we are provided with a guided tour. Expect music, bars, clubs, promoters, dancers, food carts and even massage chairs all packed into one long pedestrian street.
