Morning: sunrise and planes
The day opens at the Samet Nangshe viewpoint, where breakfast comes with spectacular views over mangrove forests and cliffs as the sun comes up. From there you drive to Mai Khao, the plane beach, where airliners pass just a few metres above your head, and then drop into the stylish Ma Doo Bua café for photos against its giant lotuses.
Midday: monkeys, temples and animals
At Monkey Hill you watch playful monkeys in their natural environment before heading to Wat Chalong, the best-known Buddhist temple in Phuket. Next comes time with animals: you can feed elephants at the elephant camp and take photos with tigers at the tiger park. The Big Buddha adds a sweeping panoramic view over the island.
Evening: viewpoints and sunset
The final part of the route takes you to the Windmill viewpoint and Karon Beach, with a look at the scenic Nai Harn lake, as the day winds down with sunset views.
