Learn to cook

Thai cuisine is renowned worldwide, mainly for the flavour it possesses and just how tasty it is! The best way to learn to make Thai dishes on your own is to attend a cooking class or two! There are institutions in Phuket that specialize in Royal Thai Cuisine. The cooking classes will teach participants the art of Thai cuisine and help them create signature dishes. If you don't want to cook, you can even just go for a meal! If you want to go the extra mile, there are also personalization options.

Island hopping

Phuket is home to many islands, and this is ideal for island hopping! Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi island, and Racha Island are great options, to begin with, and you can get to these islands quite easily via boats. If you want to step out of Layan Residences by Anantara, which boasts many Phuket luxury villas, island hopping is the way to go!
