★★★★★6 months agoMy absolute favourite of the parks in Phuket. This place has everything and more. Friendly locals, amazing ocean views, a Buddhist Temple and beautiful garden grounds. You should definitely go there for Loy Krathong celebrations. That week was an amazing experience. There is also a curry place next to it, which is favoured by the locals. It's an amazing place with good food and friendly staff.
