Breakfast at Phuket Yacht Club at Naiharn Beach. Great buffet
with something for everyone. Watch the beachcombers and early morning
swimmers from your vantage point at the Quarterdeck. Marvel at how
well the building blends with the environment.

Drive past the windmills to Promthep
Cape; stop and look at the view; note the sunset times on the

on the road past Rawai Beach, stopping at the Phuket Shell Museum
to examine the more than 2000 specimens of seashells.

At Chalong Circle, take Chaofa Road to the Phuket
Zoo. After viewing the collection of tropical birds, have your
picture taken giving one of the friendly tigers a pat.
11:00
Double back to Chalong Circle and take the road leading to Wat Chalong,
Phuket's largest temple. Try to arrive on a morning when the monks
chant the Pali scriptures. Examine the gilded statutes of the monks
who helped quell a rebellion of tin miners in 1876.

Continue down the road until you reach the massive Thai Naan Restaurant.
The beautiful teak buildings house one of Phuket's largest buffets.
If you have yet to try dim sum, this is a good place to sample these
Chinese delicacies. Good selection of dessert items.
13:00
Drive into Phuket Town and stop at the junction of Thalang and Yaowarat
Roads. Stroll along Thalang, stopping at the
Loft. The old shophouse is more of a museum than store. The
Chinese Niu opera tunics make great wall hangings. After the Loft,
continue searching the neighborhood. Lots of interesting shops and
architecture.

Wine and Grill and then stroll through Lobster Square. Lots
of new shops with quality handicrafts. Try a Tsunami Panic or one
of the other fantastic cocktails at the Gung Restaurant while you

dishes so stay on for dinner. Gung Yang Sauce Makham, lobster with
spicy tamarind sauce, is something you'll never forget.

Finish your long day at the Simon
Cabaret watching the famous show where the boys look like girls.
Don't forget to make a reservation, the Simon's is always sold out.
