Phuket Deep Sea Port

Phuket, Thailand Our cruise ship departed Singapore in the afternoon. After a night navigating the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea, we arrived in Phuket, Thailand the next afternoon. Our ship wasn't anchored at sea, but instead docked directly at Phuket Deep Sea Port, making disembarking easier and more comfortable. The cruise line gave each passenger the freedom to choose: join the cruise ship's organized city tour or explore Phuket independently. There was only one condition: all passengers had to be back on board by 1:00 a.m., as the ship would continue its voyage to Singapore at 3:00 a.m. As soon as we exited the port area, our first impression was the cleanliness. From midday until late at night, dozens of vendors had neatly set up their stalls. A variety of Thai specialties, refreshing drinks, and souvenirs were attractively displayed. What impressed us was that none of the vendors chased or pushed their wares at tourists. They waited patiently at their respective stalls, allowing visitors to stroll leisurely, enjoy the atmosphere, and choose their favorite items without being disturbed. To explore Phuket City, our group decided not to take a boat tour. We opted to charter a 12-passenger car to allow for more flexibility in planning our travel time and destination. The journey began to Phuket City, ready to experience the charm of this island, renowned for its natural beauty, culture, and cuisine.

It's very beautiful and there are also shops to buy food.
