Adventure in Phuket Ziplining Phuket at Hanuman World
When utilizing the TAGTHAi App for Adventure in Phuket , ziplining Phuket at Hanuman World is a must. You get the Combine C+ package when you sign up for the Phuket pass. This provides an amazing Phuket Ziplining experience with 3 fun ziplines, 2 Abseils, a spiral staircase climb, the exciting 800m. Jungle Roller Coaster and a trek on the jungle sky walk. The whole experience takes around 1 and a half to 2 hours to complete.

The property is filled with art and buildings to entice your imagination while providing a glimpse into history and mythology of Hanuman. Hanuman is a Hindu deity and a central character in the Hindu epic poem the Ramayana. He is the son of the wind god Vayu and the monkey goddess Anjana, and is known for his great strength, courage, and devotion. In Hindu art, Hanuman is often shown as a figure that resembles a monkey and has a robust body as well as a long tail.
2 Hour Thai Massage in Phuket Town at Raintree Spa
Now I am not a huge fan of deep tissue massages, so when I get a Thai massage in Phuket Town Thailand, I often tell them to be gentle or very soft. Raintree Spa is just outside of the main area of Old Town Phuket. With the TAGTHAi app you get your choice of various 2 hour massages. I opted for the 2 hour massage and aromatherapy treatment. It starts with 1 hour of Thai massage and then a 1 hour oil massage using a aromatherapy oil of your choice. I chose lemongrass as I love the smell and well, it’s Thailand.
On arrival, they greet you with flavored water and a cold towel to cool off. After that you get your feet washed and provided slippers to wear. Then it is off for your two hour spa treatment with your masseuse who will stretch, bend, massage and rub all the ailments from your body in a room with relaxing music and a shower if needed.
After your rejuvenating time, you get dressed and it’s back out to the lobby for a tea, a cookie and another cold towel. It is best to reserve at least a day in advance and make sure to tip your masseuse. If you have not received a full Thai massage before, it is definitely an adventure in Phuket in its own right.
Chicken Curry and Roti at Kopi de Phuket Cafe & Restaurant
Kopi de Phuket Cafe & Restaurant‘s food and staff were a delight. The TAGTHAi app will give you a couple options for meals and I chose the Chicken Curry and Roti and I’m glad I did as it was delicious. The curry was perfect spiciness as I told them medium spice and the roti almost melted in my mouth. Besides food, the place also sells various items such as their famous homemade kaya jam, honey, teas and more. Definitely a great hidden gem in Phuket!
Elephant Bathing Phuket at Eco Elephant Park Phuket
An elephant sanctuary called Eco Elephant Park Phuket is situated near Bang Tao, Phuket, Thailand. It is a location where people can learn about and engage with these magnificent creatures.
Visitors may engage in a variety of activities at the Eco Elephant Park, including feeding and washing the elephants, watching them play and swim, and understanding about their environment and habits. The park also provides teaching programs on protecting elephants and the significance of doing so for coming generations.
The TAGTHAi app Phuket pass gives a 1 hour feeding and bathing experience with the elephants at the Eco Elephant Park Phuket near Bang Tao. It is important to note that ethical elephant tourism is a complex issue and it is important to do research and choose a reputable facility when visiting places like this. It is important to ensure that the elephants are well cared for and that the activities offered do not involve any harmful or abusive practices. There are many opinions on the topics of riding, bathing and even feeding elephants at sanctuaries.
Now paying to bath or feed elephants while on vacation is not a great solution for the ethical care of elephants as these elephants at some point had to be broken and trained to be safe around humans, it is better than riding camps or circuses. In reality, an elephant sanctuary should enable the elephant to enjoy the landscape, eat and bath themselves without the need of interacting with tourists.
Unfortunately, Thailand and much of Southeast Asia is not quite there yet. The Thai Government has stopped promoting the riding of elephants and the hope is that they will budget enough money for sanctuaries to create properties where tourists may observe the elephants from a distance.
