New Ways to Enjoy Phuket

Phuket, located at the Southeastern Andaman Sea inside the Indian Ocean, is the largest island in Thailand. Its natural surroundings are well preserved with clear blue waters. It’s known as the pearl of Andaman and is a great place to enjoy the beaches around the world. People usually know Phuket as a place where it’s all sun and sandy beaches or as a place with hop on/off tours, but are unbeknownst to the fact that there are a lot of hidden gems and fun to have across its smaller islands. In comparison to the crowded tours out to sea, the activities inland can offer something very different.

As a tropical country, Thailand’s Phuket is known for its wide variety and fun activities of forest entertainment.

You’ve got Skyline Adventure, Hanuman World’s 800-m long suspension path, or Flying Hanuman’s fun-filled itinerary. Make your own choice!

Quick tip: pick an itinerary or route which is suitable in terms of your own stamina. Don’t try to do too much and make sure you wear running shoes and sportswear. There are a lot of bugs in the woods so prepare accordingly. If you are 110 kg and above you won’t be able to participate in this activity.

Keywords: cross-country, excitement, challenge, speed, passion and easy to learn.

Go for a cross-country mountain bike ride in Phuket’s woods and terrain. This is something new that only Phuket’s ATV can offer. Phuket is filled with rainforests and hilly terrains. Enjoy an ATV ride through the muddy and hilly red lands and mountain paths for a fun, adventurous and exciting ride. You’ll also get to see nature in all its glory. It must be noted that even if you don’t know how to drive, you can easily learn with the help of an instructor. They’ll also design a path for you based on your situation and you just need to enjoy yourself.

Quick tip: make sure you ask your instructors in time should you have any questions so you can figure your way out around an ATV as soon as possible. Make sure you put on your helmet firmly prior to getting on the vehicle. Ask for a mask if the instructor can provide one; best if you wear breathable sportswear.

Keywords: shooting, real live ammunition, skills, cool.

Unlike China’s strict gun control laws, Thailand’s gun laws are just about as laidback as the United States. Plus its shooting ranges have a lot fewer restrictions in comparison to the ones in China. Online shooting games just can't compare to the real thing you get on a shooting range in Phuket, where you can satisfy your curiosity about using a real gun. Real guns and ammunition are provided at the shooting ranges in Phuket. You’ll get to experience excitement like you’d see in the movies.

Quick tip: simple instructions will be given to you by workers on site prior to the shooting. Make sure you ask if you have a question. When you’re shooting, you can take selfies or you can ask employees to do it for you, but make sure you tip. We recommend that amateur players choose firearms with lesser power based on instructions given. We also recommend booking online for better deals.

Keyword: high-speed white water rafting, fun and excitement.

Phang Nga Bay is one of the first things to come to mind when we talk Phuket. Visitors coming to Phang Nga Bay definitely should not miss the rafting tours here. It might be a bit monotonous just to see sights around. Go for an exciting white water raft that meanders down the stream! Navigate and meander through rocks, nooks and crannies to see soaring waterfalls and forests of lava rocks. See for yourselves just how your raft can turn every impossible corner and go up and down rapids! Feel your heartbeat rise as your raft runs into rocks and as you hear the screams as people are splashed by water.

Please note, during the wet season, children 12 years of age and under as well as those above 60 years of age are prohibited from participating in this activity.
