A unique experience, I had a timeless moment, Yan the instructor who accompanied me was just adorable, extremely kind, he took photos and videos of me to immortalize the moment.. What bothered me was that he had to walk along the beach the whole time beside me…But being a beginner he preferred to secure (me and Bruno the horse, that's his name 😊) The sunset was breathtaking, the beach is beautiful and really ideal for this horseback ride. Everything is very well organized… in short, it remains my best activity in Thailand. So thank you to Club Horse de Layan for all that 🙏

I'm Korean and I was very satisfied. The cashew nut factory and the like are basically shopping time, and the same goes for honey. However, that time isn't long, and considering the expensive Phuket transportation fees, this is very generous. The elephant experience itself isn't long, but you can see many elephants, feed them, and even touch them briefly (the elephant comes to me even if I don't do it). Everyone seems happy, including mothers and daughters, and even grandmothers. It's a great experience to even make friends with foreign couples.

Located in the Laguna area, in the Porte de Phuket zone, next to Boat Avenue, the shop has a very nice and clean environment. The masseuses have good techniques, and a one-hour foot massage is very comfortable. Outside, there are famous chocolate drink shops, Mercado supermarket, etc., and the commercial area environment is very good.

Originally, the sunset horseback riding was scheduled for 5:30, but I didn't expect that I would start calling for a car from the Patong area at 4:00 and wait 20 minutes to get in the car. Then, there was a big traffic jam all the way, and I didn't arrive at the horse farm until almost 6:00. Then, I changed my shoes, put on a helmet, and continued to take their shuttle bus to the beach (about 10 minutes).... Although I didn't see the sunset, riding horses on the beach was still a great experience. The boy leading the horse kept taking pictures for you. It's a pity that the original one-hour ride was only about 20 minutes long because I was late. Friends who have signed up must leave early!

Great service from start to finish. Very personalised as well as we got to choose our scrubs and oils and we were asked about our focus areas. Great refreshments and masterclass after.

The Coral Lounge at Phuket Airport was a comfortable place to relax before my flight. The lounge wasn’t overcrowded, seating was comfortable, and the air-conditioning was a welcome break from the terminal. Food options were simple but fresh, with a mix of Thai and Western snacks, plus soft drinks, coffee, and light alcohol. Staff were friendly and efficient, and the space was kept clean. A good option if you want some peace and a seat before boarding.
