going with parents .... so most likely would be going nearby only ...

In that case, maybe you want to consider joining the sightseeing tour around the city and also visit the Big Buddha which sits on top of a hill. You will have a panoramic view of Phuket there.

phuket is not a place for shopping. its more of a place for either RELAX or ACTIVITIES

There is a lot of bar and agogo bar for drinking.

The shopping sucks big time.

Either you go to kata beach and relax and see the angmo go topless or pay a guide for island hopping or raafting,atv etc. try not to go for elephant. they dont treat the elephant very well.

for island hopping atv and rafting i suggest mr mak. i dont know if he is still around but you can try googling here. his contact is somewhere in the forum

If I only had a day in phuket (transfer), what can I do there? Assuming I arrived at 1pm, any nearby things to walk/see in patong itself? Night time I may visit agogo bar for drink, but day time seems to have a long blank amount of time.

para sailing on Patong Beach

This was taken on Patong Beach recently. It looks fun but I am wondering whether it is safe. Would you dare to do this para-sailing?


As for Patong beach, indeed there were so many ang-mohs. Looks like an ang-moh paradise, this Patong Beach.

junceylon shopping mall , only know that. then there is a bangla pasar malam if nt wrong . Hotels around juncelyon shopping mall is good, abt 40 to 50+ per night , 3-4 stars hotel. such as sira grande, tiger hotel , quite near to the mall .

I think if i remember correctly , at night beside or behind the mall there's a pasar malam neaby. selling some simple snacks and goodies.

as for tour i think you guys can find when you are in phuket.
There's lots of Tour desk & private driver. you can request for places you wanna visit and bargain price with the driver yourself.

FYI - when you arrange for tour , tour also find private driver who is available for the job to take up the job.

Been to phuket afew times. just sharing some experience.
