Phuket’s Northern Forest Temple & Rubber Plantation Walk

Escape to the serene north of Phuket, far from the beach crowds. Walk through a working rubber plantation near Wat Phra Thong, a temple with a half-buried golden Buddha statue (legend says it’s cursed). Then hike a gentle forest trail to the lesser-known Ton Sai Waterfall, where locals picnic. Continue to the peaceful Khao Phra Thaeo Royal Wildlife Reserve, home to rare hornbills. All spots connected by quiet rural roads – perfect for cycling.
