While visiting Phuket, one of the most enjoyable experiences for me was Hanuman World Zipline. It was an exhilarating adventure and I highly recommend it.
For those planning to travel to Hua Hin, I discovered an attraction called Tree Top Adventure. Although it is not offered by the Taecho Club, I was able to purchase tickets through social media.
On the day of departure, my travel companion enjoyed the Anantara Spa, while I went to experience the zipline with my daughter. It was a short 20-minute drive from our accommodation, Vana Varin Resort (previously searched as Bolt App). The reception staff at Anantara kindly called the zipline company when I had trouble finding the exact location.
Upon arrival at Vana Varin Resort, I easily spotted the zipline area. Compared to Phuket’s Hanuman World, it seemed smaller in scale. The typical course duration is around 2 hours, but as beginners, it took us slightly over an hour to complete.
We were provided with safety gear and instructions before starting the zipline adventure. Crossing rope bridges and zip-lining through the treetops was thrilling. It was more physically demanding than expected, but the experience was worth it.
Throughout the adventure, we took photos and videos. The absence of crowds made it more convenient for capturing these memorable moments. The zipline instructors were friendly and encouraged us to have fun by taking more photos.
Finally, we reached the final stage and began our journey back to the starting point. Although it required a minimum height of 140 cm, the difficulty level surprised me. However, our Grab driver, who kindly waited for us, made our return trip comfortable and hassle-free.
Next time I visit Phuket, I definitely plan to visit Hanuman World again. I learned that they also offer a 20-platform course, but due to our smaller group size, the experience ended sooner than expected. Overall, we had a great time and felt a bit disappointed that it ended so quickly.
If you’re staying at Vana Varin Resort in Phuket, there are plenty of other tourist attractions and activities nearby that you can consider for an enjoyable experience during your stay. One highly recommended attraction is the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, where you can interact with rescued elephants in a responsible and ethical manner. It offers a unique opportunity to observe these gentle giants up close and learn about their rehabilitation.
For those interested in marine life, a visit to the Phuket Aquarium would be a great option. You can explore the diverse underwater world of the Andaman Sea and discover a wide range of marine species. The aquarium also provides informative exhibits and engaging presentations to enhance your understanding of the marine ecosystem.
If you’re looking for a more cultural experience, a visit to the Big Buddha is a must. Located on Nakkerd Hill, this enormous statue offers breathtaking panoramic views of Phuket and its surroundings. It is not only a religious site but also a symbol of peace and tranquility.
For those craving some adventure, consider exploring the beautiful scenery of Phang Nga Bay through a sea kayaking tour. Paddle through unique limestone caves and hidden lagoons, surrounded by stunning cliffs and emerald-green waters. This guided tour will give you an unforgettable experience and a chance to connect with nature.
If you are interested in exploring the local cuisine, taking a cooking class would be an excellent choice. Many cooking schools in Phuket offer hands-on lessons where you can learn to prepare traditional Thai dishes. This will not only give you a taste of the local flavors but also provide you with valuable knowledge to recreate these dishes back home.
Lastly, if you’re a fan of water sports, you can try out some thrilling activities like jet skiing or parasailing. There are plenty of operators along the beaches of Phuket who offer these adrenaline-pumping experiences. You can enjoy the feeling of soaring above the sea or speeding across the waves, creating lasting memories.
All in all, Phuket offers a diverse range of attractions and activities for all types of travelers. Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural experiences, or simply a chance to relax and unwind, there is something for everyone to enjoy during your stay at Vana Varin Resort.
