Abholen hat gut geklappt. Pünktlich. Jeeps waren aufgrund der Sonne und Wärme mit Dach, was für die Personen ganz hinten sehr unangenehm tief ist, wird aber beim Offroad abgemacht. An sich war die Offroad Tour sowie die Kanutour super, auch das Mittagessen. Nur die Wege dorthin waren immer sehr lang, das Gebetshaus zu Beginn kann man sich komplett sparen. Der Guide sowie die Fahrer waren super, auch das Mittagessen und wie immer in Thailand alle sehr freundlich. Gut organisierte Tour, bei uns war es einfach zu warm, dafür kann aber niemand was. Nichts für kleine Kinder. Ab 10 Jahre macht erst Sinn, ansonsten viel zu anstrengend, zumindest bei dieser Hitze, die wir hatten - 34°C.
It was a wonderful experience to see the Mangrove from a canoe, just like the temple and the waterfall were worth the trip. But we spent more than half the time driving on large country roads - in the back of a four-wheel drive. The only off road that was in the trip was on a 45 minute trip up the mountain to the trip we had to go, down to the waterfall.
In return, we had the best guide, who vividly told us about all the plants and animals we passed.
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 never heard of rugby. Missing a trick!
