While on vacation in Phuket, it was recommended to take a cooking class and I’m so glad I found Pui with BrassWok! I was able to reserve a spot with her class the night before (not recommended) and opted to do both the market tour and cooking class. From my initial contact, communication with BrassWok was very prompt and the excursion turned out even better than described. I was picked up from my hotel at the exact time they stated and met others participating in the class in a shared, well-equipped (leather seats, AC, etc) van. From there, our group met with Pui at the local market to shop for the food we were to cook during the class. It was great seeing a local market! After finishing up our shopping we hopped back in the van to meet Pui at the studio. Pui’s demonstration kitchen is perfectly comfortable and has everything you need to cook amazing Thai dishes. For our class, we made traditional Tom Yum, fried Spring Rolls, green and Panang Curry, and Pad Thai! Pui was an excellent instructor and explained the steps for each dish clearly. She was very attentive to the class and welcomed any and all questions! I’d highly recommend this experience while in Thailand!

A place to step back, unwind and chillax! Every massage is designed to encourage wellbeing, restore harmony, rejuvenate your body and nurture your spirit.

Reviewed By theibis

We stayed at the Como Point Yamu nearby and took a taxi here (500 Baht). The place is clean and has foot massage chairs on the first floor. We were first welcomed in with a welcome drink which was butterfly pea water with chia seeds, and a cold towel. We did 1 hour foot massages downstairs followed by 2 hour Thai body massages upstairs. My masseuse was really good (I do massages a lot so am quite picky) and found the right spots. My friend's was good too. The place is clean and pleasant. Also had a farewell drink of lemongrass tea and crackers. Would come back again!

Green Elephant Sanctuary Park

In the Elephant Sanctuary Park you can experience elephants in the most natural way. In their natural environment, where they are free and simply wonderful! It is important to us that you can experience the daily life of the animals. And that you can approach them when feeding or bathing. Briefly: it is a wonderful experience that you will remember for a long time. How much do you want to bet?

Gibbon Rehabilitation Project

We're a unique animal welfare and conservation project working to rehabilitate unwanted or confiscated gibbons from the pet trade and tourist industry. Come visitor our centre at Bang Pae waterfall and learn about the fascinating lives of gibbons and how you can help these highly endangered animals! Open 9am - 4.30pm (except Thursday, 9am - 3pm) our centre is free of charge however entrance to the national park area where we are located is 200 Baht per adult. For information about volunteer opportunites visit our website. Please note: GRP is an active conservation project and the majority of our animals are part of an ongoing reintroduction program. A select number of gibbons can be seen from our public viewing area but visitors are not able to feed them or otherwise interact with them.

This project is an incredibly worthwhile place to visit to support a magnificent cause. The project works with local authorities to rescue captive gibbons, typically stolen from the wild as young for the illegal pet trade, with the poachers killing their family groups in the process. Once in the projects care, the gibbons healed and rehabilitated before their eventual re-release into the wild. So far, this project has returned about 50 gibbons to the wild, and seen many of them give birth to young in the wild. Animals under stress or in inadequate conditions rarely mate and give birth successfully, so this is a sign of this project's success in providing incredible care for these animals. I visited for the first time as a kid in the mid-2000s and remember that visit fondly. Returning for a second time over a decade later, it is great to see that the work has continued so successfully to repopulate Thailand's rainforests. It is important to note that this is not a zoo, it is something better. The focus is not on you getting close with the gibbons, rather those are the conditions that they are fighting against. The gibbons in rehabilitation receive minimal human contact, both from their carers and visitors. The ones that you are able to see are those that are unable to be released, including severely disabled and non-native individuals. There is a strong focus on education and promoting ethical tourism. Visiting this noble cause is free, excluding the low park-entry fee, and well worth your time. The project does not receive funding from the national parks or any portion of the park's entry fee. It relies instead on the generosity of our donations, sponsorships, purchases at the gift shop, and support from volunteers. With that in mind, I would discourage people from visiting completely for free because I am confident that visiting would convince you it is deserving of a donation. I would strongly recommend visiting for anyone headed to Phuket.
