Combine the incredible view overlooking the Gulf of Thailand with a gold leaf facial, a turmeric herb and honey scrub, and an hour-long Thai massage for a holistic wellness experience.

Conclude your Thai vacation in Phuket, where you'll enjoy a tour of the award-winning Chalong Bay Rum Distillery. Learn about the distilling process with a refreshing Chalong Bay Mojito in hand before visiting the Big Buddha temple, home to Southeast Asia's largest Buddha statue.
