Phuket is a mecca for sun-seekers in search of beauty and adventure on Thailand's stunning beaches. Gorgeous it is, undiscovered it definitely is not. If you're hoping to get away from the resorts that dot Phuket's coastline, to see a bit of real Thai culture and scenic beauty away from the tourist crowds, you want to take a private Phuket tour with a local guide.
Your guide is a long-time local who will take you all over the island via car, scooter, boat, bicycle - whatever you please! You'll see picturesque ports, secret beaches and little-known viewpoints. Enjoy dining on the fresh regional cuisine in between visits to quiet temples and historic monuments. After a day of adventure, head to the night markets in Old Phuket town, where your guide can help you sample the tastiest street food.
Whether you're hoping to find the best spots to snorkel, or simply a piece of coastal heaven to sunbathe away from the masses, your guide will take you there on your private Phuket tour. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
The Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT) requires that all tour guides attend a training course and pass a series of tests before they will issue a license. The length and breadth of the course will depend on what kind of license the guide wants to get. Some licenses cover only specific areas e.g Bangkok or Northern Thailand. Other licenses cover the whole of Thailand. For example, a pink license requires a 3 month course and covers Chiang Mai & Northern Thailand.
All official tour guides must have a license before they can work for a tour company or as a freelance guide. Guides who do not have a license are not endorsed by the TAT and are therefore working illegally. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
