First impressions of Phuket, Thailand culture

Written By Distill

After spending a magical 3 days living among a community of free range elephants in the jungles of Changrai, Thailand, we’re flying south to Phuket.

This rainforested, mountainous island in the Andaman Sea is home to some of the country’s most beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. But since we’re only here for two nights, we have to find as many authentic, local experiences as possible so that we can get to know the culture of Phuket in one perfect day.
