You can explore many highlights in Phuket just only 6 hours. Visit the most revered and visited temple in Phuket as Chalong Temple, the most important and revered landmarks on the island as Phuket's Big Buddha, take a photo of baby elephant, honey and cashew nut factory, beautiful panoramic view at Kata Viewpoint and have a lunch at local restaurant.

This temple is known for the Golden Mount or Phu Khao Thong, a high hill that offers stunning views at its summit over Rattanakosin Island.

We took a taxi here (check with the driver before getting in), nice walk up to the top to see the large bell, there were numerous gongs on the way up to ring. Quite a few steps in the heat, but the walk wasn't bad. Very good visit.
4. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

Located high in the hills above Chiang Mai, this magnificent temple was commissioned by King Kuena, ruler of the region from 1367-1388.

Gorgeous views, tranquil, peaceful and a great view of Chiang Mai. Best to get one of those red tuk tuk type things up to the temple, if you wait 15 mins for others who ads going the same way you can get a return for 150 baht. It's worth the wait as some charge 800 baht for a return and a mere one hour to tour the temple. You'll need 2 hours for a good look around, and time to take it all in! There's also some cute shops by the temple too! We went mid afternoon, and it was perfect not too busy or humid.

This was our first visit to Phuket and The Nai Harn resort was highly recommended by our travel agent, Flight centre. We had a lovely & fantastic experience, the staff was very courteous and always willing to help and amazingly knew our names every time they met us. The facilities are excellent and location of resort is out of the world, right on the beach which is neat with nice waves and clear water. The buffet breakfast had plenty of choices and fabulous food quality. They even extended our stay for couple of hours to accomodate our flight. I will highly recommend this to anyone visiting Phuket. I really five star memorable experience.
6. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong)

Great place to visit, did so twice. Photographer's paradise. Visited late afternoon, yes there were people, it is an active temple - but never crowded. Guess could be so at peak tourist-coaches hours. Sat evening a night market / food stalls were being set up in the grounds just as the sun was setting. Practically all Buddhist temples visited (and those we just drove past) would be worth a visit if they existed in isolation, due to the elaborate sculptural art that they are so rich in, plus they can look a little samey, but "Wat Chalong" stands out, so if you only visit one on Phuket island, make sure this is it.

If you have the time and will go there for one of the best sunsets on the island. If you are driving get there early as the big tourist buses go there as well so it gets more packed closer to sunset time. Enjoy !

10. Kao Khad Views Tower

Khao Khad Viewpoint Tower We hired a moped during our stay in Panwa Beach and decided to explore the local area. We came across Khao Khad Viewpoint Tower and were amazed by the 360 degree view that it offered from one of the highest points in the area. There are 136 steps to reach the top so this isn’t for those who have difficulties with mobility and there is no lift. However, it is truly worth the effort. You can easily see Khao Khad Bay, Panwa Cape, the ‘Big Buddha’ and much more... We went early in the morning but I can imagine that the views would be equally beautiful at sunset. There is a bar serving food and drinks on the site which we also stopped at. In summary, a great place to experience the amazing views of the local area and would highly recommend.
