Experience Day trips in the best of
Phuket with Withlocals

"I’ve been to Phuket many times, but it’s even better with a guide, and I’m so happy I picked Pai. She is so knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and considerate. I learned a lot today! She made sure we timed our journey just right to enjoy Coral Island without too many other visitors. Then we went to a somewhat secluded spot for snorkeling (only one other private boat) and there were so many stunning fish and sea life of all kinds. She worked out all our transportation and made sure everything was smooth. I will book another tour with Pai next time I’m in Phuket."

"you are not going to go wrong booking with Ruetai (Pai). it may be a tad pricey, but the trip is well worth it. after reading reviews of the group tours to James Bond Island, we chose the private trip, hoping to avoid the crowds. while the day started out a little chilly at the top of the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint waiting for the sunrise, it wasn't that bad, just a little breezy, but a nice departure from the hot muggy days in Phuket. The sunrise was gorgeous, and Pai provided hot tea and coffee to help warm up, while you had a light breakfast. The private longtail boat ride was enjoyable, and you arrive at James Bond Island before the crowds arrive, and it becomes crowded. the stop at crane cave was very cool, the kayak stop at Ko Hong was fun, and some time at a private beach for snacks and a swim was refreshing. Pai is informative, does her best to make your day enjoyable without being intrusive, and her choice for lunch was a nice way to end the trip. you won't go wrong booking with Ruetai."

"We ran into an issue with the weather the day of our charter, we appreciate you rescheduling for us so we could be out on a nice day! Everything was great from hotel pick up, to the private long tail boat! This was a great experience for my daughter and something we will always remember !"

"We had an amazing experience with Ruetai as our tour guide in Phuket. She was outstanding, attentive to every detail, and ensured everything went smoothly throughout our trip. Her warmth, professionalism, and local knowledge made our visit truly special. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized experience in Phuket!"

"We stayed in Phuket at the Angsana Resort in October 2024. We booked a day tour with Pai to explore Old Town, a couple of city sights, and a half-day Elephant Sanctuary experience. This was one of my favorite days of the trip! Pai was very communicative prior to our scheduled day, and told us everything we needed to have ready. She was knowledgeable about so many topics and history of the places we visited, and was just fun to be around. She took photos for us and just made the day a pleasant overall experience. The van that took us around was also very nice and air cool on the hot day. We would definitely book something again with Pai if we ever come back and she's available. "

"We had such a memorable day with Pai. She was so informative, kind and willing to tailor to all of our needs and wants. She is excellent at not only putting together an amazing package but also providing so much information about the area, culture, food, religion, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a great experience in Phuket."

"We had the best time with Pathu (Pai), our tour guide, today! What a memorable trip. She picked us up straight from our hotel and took us to the Marina where a private boat awaited us. From there we went on an exploration of several of the islands around Phuket. We were able to swim, snorkel, watch monkeys play, hang out in the beach, sunbath, and enjoy an amazing lunch! Beverages and a fruit platter were also included. The boat was clean and spacious, the crew was professional, friendly, and competent. Pai could not have been nicer or more helpful. She arranged everything and made sure we all had a great time. I give her my highest recommendation. The waters around Phuket are so crystal clear and beautiful. The sand is so fine it has the texture of flour. The coral reefs are teeming with colorful fish. This excursion will be one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand!"

"Hele mooie ervaring. Ruetai is een super lieve vrouw die de hele dag tot in de puntjes goed verzorgd! Bedankt!🫶🏽"

"My husband and I took a private early morning tour to Ao Phang Nga National Park with Ruetai (Pai). The whole experience was amazing. Because Pai did such a good job with arrangements, we were the first to the sunrise view over the myriad islands comprising the park, the first to James Bond Island, and the first to the Crane Cave. Pai is incredibly sweet and kind, and did a great job of explaining the history and culture. This tour starts very early (4 am for us) and isn’t cheap, but it’s worth the early hour and every penny. A once in a lifetime experience. "

"Pai was an awesome guide! Very attentive and knowledgeable. She had great additions for all of the places we visited and gave us some great suggestions to go to for the rest of our trip."
