Phuket Travel Agent Expert

As a Phuket travel agent advisor, I must admit I’m enamored with the destination. Phuket City, on Phuket Island is the capital of Phuket Province in Thailand. It is one of those unique places on earth that no one can duplicate. For example, in the city’ Old Town, Thalang Road features brightly colored 19th-century shophouses and unique Sino-Portuguese architecture. Then there’s the Baan Chinpracha mansion, which a wealthy tin businessman built in 1903. The estate features shuttered windows, antique furnishings, and floor tiles made in Italy. Besides its history and architecture, Phuket is also home to beautiful beaches and incredible temples. I’ve compiled a list of some of the top attractions to see. 1. Big Buddha: The Big Buddha of Phuket is a stunning figure proudly looking over the island from its lofty perch on top of the Nakkerd Hills. This magnificent 45-meter statue is made from Burmese white marble and can be seen from many parts of the city. The immense statue guards Chalong Bay. 2. Old Town: For a taste of the history of Phuket, make sure to visit the Old Town. Here, you can wander the narrow streets, where you can explore some unique buildings, shops, and historic landmarks. 3. Wat Chalong: One of the most important Buddhist temples in Phuket is Wat Chalong. The main attraction here is the tall chedi, which is adorned with colorful tiles and statues. It’s a great place to learn more about Buddhism and admire the intricate architecture. 4. Phuket Fantasea: If you’re looking for a more lively experience, check out Phuket Fantasea. This interactive show is a unique blend of theater, music, and acrobatics, and is sure to be a hit for adults and kids alike. 5. Karon Beach: Karon Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Phuket and is known for its crystal clear waters, great snorkeling venues. You can also kayak or parasail to your heart’s content. 5. Flying Hanuman: Do you want to try ziplining? If so, Flying Hanuman is a thrilling zip-line tour located in the jungle of Phuket. Visitors can explore the rainforest from a bird's eye view on a series of zip-lines, bridges, and ladders. 6. Bangla Road: Bangla Road is the entertainment hub of Phuket. It's filled with bars, clubs, restaurants, and shops, making it a great place to party and have some fun. Whether you want excitement or serenity, Phuket offers both. Let’s continue with top attractions. 7. Kata Noi Beach: This popular beach is known for its crystal waters, white soft sand, and romantic climate. If you want to see the sunset, this is the ideal place. 8. Phi Phi Islands: The Phi Phi Islands are known for the turquoise waters and soft sands - both which invite scuba diving, snorkeling, and related water activities. 9. Patong: Patong is a vibrant beach with a whirlwind of nightlife activities. 10. Khao Lak National Park: The park is located close to the beach and is known for its diversity of wildlife and impressive waterfalls.

Antigua and Barbuda Travel Agent Professional

I am pleased to represent the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda as a travel agent professional. You will love the atmosphere of these two islands and bask in the memory of your Caribbean escape and holiday. The islands of Antigua and Barbuda represent an independent commonwealth, made up of the two islands and several smaller isles. The country is located at the point where the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic meet. Known for its coral reefs and inclusive resorts, Antigua and Barbuda is a popular yachting hub. The capital of St. John's is home to a national museum that displays colonial and indigenous artwork and artefact's. Just like salt goes with pepper, Antigua and Barbuda are compatible as well. Christopher Columbus visited Antigua in 1493 and named it for a church in Seville, Spain called the Church of Santa Maria de la Antigua. The island was colonized by the English in 1632, when it became a British possession. Caribs attacked the colony as did the French in 1666. While settlers first grew tobacco, sugar was found to be a more profitable venture in the later 17th century. The adjacent island of Barbuda was settled in 1678, with the crown granting the land, in 1685, to the Codrington family. While the island was first set up for slave-breeding, the slaves imported to the location ended up living self-reliant, forming a community of their own. In 1843, an earthquake hit the island followed by a hurricane four years later. During the later part of the nineteenth century, Barbuda's governmental administration was closely aligned with Antigua, thereby causing the smaller isle to become a dependency of the bigger island. Most of the visitors to Antigua and Barbuda stream to the larger island of Antigua. Many arrive by cruise ship in St. John's where historical homes, museums, and shops are the main draws. Animal lovers on the isle can enjoy activities, such as swimming with stingrays. Home to under two percent of Antigua and Barbuda's population, Barbuda is a great escape for visitors who wish to have solitude and tranquility. Birders regularly visit the tropical sanctuary to see the island's frigatebird, a master aerialist and pterodactyl-type vaian. The frigate effortlessly soars through air, creating a truly magnificent spectacle, snatching food from other birds as part of its acrobatics. Males have a red chest they puff out like a balloon to attract white-crested females. If you love water sports, such as diving, fishing, sailing, swimming, or windsurfing, you can find plenty to do on both islands. Golfers enjoy playing the links on Antigua as well. As your travel agent and advisor for Antigua and Barbuda, I can promise you that your trip will be one you soon won't forget. Give me a call or email me today for all the details. Let's plan a vacation that you can check off your bucket list.
