Khao Phra Thaeo National Park




Located in the North of the island, Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, is last area of virgin rain forest in Phuket. The beautiful Park covers an area of approximately 22 square kilometres. In the National Park you will find two breathtaking waterfalls, hiking paths and the incredible Gibbon Rehabilitation centre.

An eight kilometre hiking route heads north-east, through the National Park. At the end of this energetic hike you will reach the largest waterfall in Phuket -- Bang Pae. Here you will also be greeted with a floating restaurant, a museum and an information centre.

The three highest peaks of this conservation reserve are the Khao Prathiu (384 m), Khao Bang Pae (388 m) and Khao Phara (422 m).


The National Park, is home to tusked wild boar, malay sun bear (almost extinct), langurs, gibbons, deer, palm civets, monkeys, pythons, monitor lizards, flying foxes, squirrels, slow lorises and many different species of birds. The natural behaviour of the animals in the park, is to hide amongst the dense vegetation. The presence of humans makes the animals even more elusive. You will no doubt hear the animals hiding undercover in the vegetation but will have little chance of seeing them. The denseness of the vegetation makes obstructs the view of observers.



The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, cares for abandoned Gibbons and rehabilitates them for life back in the wild. The Center is located in the eastern section of the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, close to the Bang Pae Waterfall. A Gibbon is a pretty, furry, kind of small monkey, who naturally lives high up in jungle trees.

Unfortunately, many Gibbons are captured and kept in households, bars or restaurants to entertain tourists. Sadly, when the Gibbons reach maturity, at around 5-6 years of age and become aggressive, they are abandoned. The Project aims to rescue these Gibbons
and rehabilitate them so they can return to their natural jungle environment. Your visit to the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, will certainly be fascinating.

For more information or to book this captivating tour, please contact us today! We can help you with anything that you may require.

Koh Surin





The Koh Surin archipelago, covers an area of 135 square kilometers. Laying in the Andaman Sea, it is situated 53 kilometers from the mainland Ranong Province. Additionally, it is located approximately 60km off the west coast of Phang Nga Province. It is also 100km north of the Similan Islands.

Koh Surin is an archipelago of 5 islands. Those are; Koh Surin Nuea, Koh Surin Tai, Koh Ri, Koh Khai, and Koh Klang. These 5 islands lie just south of the border with Burma.

The 2 most prominent islands - Koh Surin Nua (Northern Island) and Koh Surin Tai (Southern Island) - are separated only by a 200 metre wide straight. Both of the islands are renown for their beautiful white sands and dense forests.

The crystal clear water surrounding these islands, are famed for their quality for diving and snorkeling opportunities. The other islands are characterised as being rather rocky and covered sparsely with vegetation.

The Koh Surin Islands were totally uninhabited right up until the World War II era. When, in 1981 the region was re-classed as a National Park, people were still slow to re-locate to the area. Numbers of residents, at this time, reached around a few hundred. However, in the modern day era, the area is thriving with officials being stationed on Koh Surin Nua. Koh Surin Tai, is now also home to a small Chao Le fishing community.

The beautiful reefs of Koh Surin, are the main attractions for nature excursions as well as game fishing and the abundant marine life. The local tourism authorities are effectively safe guarding the reefs by installing mooring to buoys. This is a practical method of reducing the anchor damage to the reefs.

If you would like to enjoy the snorkeling, diving or game fishing activities available at this paradise, please contact us. We can book tours and provide any information you may require.

Similan Islands

The Similan Islands (Thai: เกาะสิมิลัน) is a group of islands located in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Phang Nga Province. "Similan" is a Yawi word, which simply means "nine". This region is also a National Park, which was established in 1982. The National Park is a archipelago, made up of 9 islands.

Counting in order, beginning from the North;
Ko Ba-Ngu (Number 9), Ko Similan (Number 8), Ko Payu (Number 7), Ko Miang Sam (Number 6), Ko Miang Song (Number 5), Ko Miang (Number 4), Ko Payan (Number 3), Ko Payang (Number 2) and Ko Hu Yong (Number 1).

Additionally, there is a small rock outcrop, situated between number 7 and number 8. This area is known as Elephant Head Rock.

The Similan Islands, are home to the largest variety and numbers of Reef Fish, in Thailand. Here you will also find at least 200 species of hard coral. The Islands are renown for their stunning mass of coral, the natural beaches and the crystal-clear blue waters. This is a wonderfully idyllic place to relax aboard a boat or to enjoy the dive sites.

Ko Similan is the largest of the 9 islands. It's horseshoe shape partly encircles a small bay in the West. Along with the wonderful underwater scenery, you may also participate in some hiking. The Island has the largest granite outcrop in the Similan archipelago, which provides panoramic views across the area.

The Similan Islands are situated approximately 70 kilometers from Phang Nga Town. The best route to journey to the Similan Islands is from Khao Lak, based in the Phang Nga Province.

Muay Thai - Thai Boxing In Phuket




Experience Thailand's national sport, Muay Thai. Also known as, "The Art of the Eight Limbs" this is the Thai form of hard martial art. It is often referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs" as the hands, elbows, knees and shins are all used extensively in this art. Therefore, a Muay Thai fighter may execute strikes using "eight points of contact" as opposed to "two points of contact" in western boxing. Those points of contact, being the two fists used in combat.

Muay Thai has a long standing and fascinating history in Thailand. The Thai army also use a modified version of Muay Thai, called Lerdrit. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today, incorporates kicks and punches - in a ring - with gloves similar to those used in western boxing bouts.

Muay Thai is an extremely popular spectator sport in Thailand. It is also a world renown martial art sport. The origin of Muay Thai can be traced back to it's ancestor Muay Boran. This translates to "Ancient Boxing". Muay Boran, was a form of unarmed combat, employed by Siamese soldiers. This was used in conjunction with Krabi Krabong, a weapon based style of combat.

The practice of Muay Thai was over time, upheld by Buddhist monks, who were the keepers and teachers of all arts - which were both practical and spiritual. Every Thai man is encouraged to live and follow the practices of the Buddhist monks at least once during their life time. This is a major factor in why Muay Thai grew in popularity among the common people.

Muay Thai continues to be a practical fighting technique for warfare. It has thrived and grown as a sport, throughout Thailand and the world. The entertainment it brings to spectators, ensures that it is an integral part of local festivals and celebrations. It has also long been entertainment for Kings of Thailand.

When you visit Phuket and Thailand, ensure that you experience the excitement and drama of a live Muay Thai fight. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to view a cultural phenomenon. You will also observe the pre-fight Wai Khru ritual. This is based on the sabre dance of Krabi Krabong. This is a traditional way in which respect is shown to the teachers and trainers. Historically, the Wai Khru was performed, when fighting in the presence of the King, as a way of apologising for the brutality in the fighting.

The fighter will first circle the ring 3 times before kneeling and bowing 3 times as a sign of respect to God and Man. He will also bow to Buddha, in order to ask for protection for himself and his opponent. He will also ask for an honourable fight.

The fighter will then perform the Ram Muay, which is simple movements designed to demonstrate their control and style. Each of the fighters will perform the Ram Muay on each side of the ring, to demonstrate their prowess to the audience. The Ram Muay, is a very personal ritual. It may range from being very simple to very complex. The style provides an insight into who trained the fighter and where they originate from.

If you would like to experience a live Muay Thai fight, there are regular bouts in both Phuket Town and Patong. If you would like to book tickets or would like more information, please contact us. We can provide any details you may require.
