Here’s an overview of your tour

In ancient times, pearls were considered symbols of femininity, embodying qualities such as softness, sweetness, and calmness, making them associated with love. The belief is that pearls bring love and happiness to their owners.

Throughout history, pearls have remained highly prized as jewelry due to their exquisite beauty. In the past, they were offered as tributes and gifts to kings and were primarily worn as accessories by the elite in China and Persia.

Phuket is renowned as the Pearl Island, home to a significant Pearl Farm. Here, you can witness the process of pearl cultivation and find authentic pearls, ensuring their quality. Accessible by a longtail boat from the mainland of Phuket, the journey offers insights into how locals earn a living. After the boat ride, you have the option to visit their shop or return to the hotel at your convenience.
