    Highly recommended, the elephants were amazing and loved being bathed, hotel pick up and drop off, we were really looked after with snacks, drinks, authentic food made in front of us and the guides were excellent taking free photos! Amazing value for money. Will post video on my tik tok @amirahsbeautypalace

    It was an enjoyable trip with wonderful guides, and the trip in general was worth experiencing for its new experiences, whether it was in the water market, visiting the train, or even eating in the restaurant while wearing traditional Thai clothing.

    A very fun amusement park, located in the middle of the island. The queues weren't too long, and the Christmas weather wasn't too hot. I played there for two days straight. Angel Slide: A water roller coaster, super thrilling! Suitable for children 1.07 meters and taller. Wave Pool: The wave pool has big and frequent waves, unlike in China where you have to wait half an hour for each wave. Most rides are friendly to those 1.07 meters and taller. Children 1.22 meters and taller can ride everything.

    Patong has some cool restaurants near the beach or just cool down with some coconut water! Then, just stroll along the beach road, and you find many temples with free entrance. Get some Instagram shots and do some souvenirs shopping along the stores by the beach! There's tsunami warning signposts for evacuation all along the road and at almost every street corner.

    Prices on the island are a bit higher than in Phuket, which is understandable given its location. There are several hospitals, convenience stores, restaurants, and bars all lined up one after another, catering to people who want to charter a boat for a day trip.

    We really enjoyed the show! My 4 year old toddler loved it so much that he only talked about the dolphins and wanted to go back.

    In September, due to the typhoon in Phuket, we chose the jeep jungle leap and tiger park on rainy days. The little tigers were not small and we could touch them while they were sleeping. Overall, the experience was good.
