Every Day

Thailand is renowned for its traditional customs and Phuket, due to its geographical location, has a very interesting, unique and rich story of its own. Burmese invasions, tin mining, rubber trading, various religious beliefs and tourism have all played a role in shaping the Phuket we all enjoy today. On this tour guests can relax and enjoy a trip back in time as the Laguna Leisure Host ventures off the beaten trail giving a real insight into Phuket culture.
