Muay Thai in Puget With first class outstanding trainers, the Puget Island offers the best training system in the world. After all, Muay Thai or Thai boxing originated in Thailand making it a hot spot among martial arts enthusiasts around the world. Pugets doesn't only offer high quality training, but it's also considered the best of the best. Second to none with Jim's catering client levels from beginners to professional fighters, training to compete at the elite championships. But with great training also comes the competitive prices among Puget. Scared of being scanned for a training session, a group training session could reach to 500 baht at most, and a private training session could go for 800 baht. If you're staying at the island long enough, you could get away with it for a way cheaper price, but still at the utmost top quality. 9. Learn about their history What is a more fun activity than to enjoy while learning? In Puget Town, you can discover their culture with the ever-so-lively island with hotels, restaurants, and massage parlors all over the town. Puget Town only came to be a few decades since the other beach near town opened to development in 1980. The diverse culture of the island is showcased by how Chinese immigrants influence the architectural structure of the buildings. Suppose you have a good eye for international historical designs. In that case, you'd also be able to pinpoint the Portuguese aesthetic around town with a mix of traditional Thai styles around too. Take a stroll around Old Puget Town to see the historical, but well-preserved shrines, shophouses, senoportuguese mansions, and temples and shrines. If you haven't caught on already, the island is full of creativity and art, so take a visit at their Puget Trichy Museum. The famous interactive 3D art gallery, while paying your divine respects in the Chinese temple of Joytoi Shrine. The fascinating temple might be a place of religion, but the colorful interior will leave you in awe. 8. The Puget Big Buddha In the hills of Neckarred between Kata and Chalong sits the Puget Big Buddha. One of the islands alluring landmarks, one you must have visited at least once in your life. Not only do you see the 360 degree breath-taking view of nature upon the hills, but you also get the glimpse of the 45-meter tall statue of Buddha faced with white jade marble built way back in 2004. To reach this magnificent view, however, you'd have to get your sweat on. On your way up the hill, we'd advise you to take a taxi or a took-took up on the 6-kilometer road, but when you reach the steep stairs to the monument, you'll only have your feet to rely on the rest of your trip. The hard work will definitely earn you an experience to die for with the peaceful flutter of prayer flags in the winds and the little tinkling of small bells. 7. The Authentic Puget Still feel like you haven't gotten to know the island you wish you would have? Try visiting the Rewai village of Puget. Then you'll truly learn a major part of their culture. Also called the tribe of sea gypsies, it's a small village located on the east coast side of the island where you can see the lifestyle of the Moken. Although some of the villagers live by the tranquil ocean, others like to live the semi-nomadic life. With roots in the Andaman and the Nikabar Islands, the Rewai village are still committed to their own personal beliefs and customs. Since the village is offshore, many, if not most, of the villagers have resulted to fishing as their way of living. Since Rewai has always been a fishing harbor and a blue sea covered with other means of accessories for their magnificent cultures, such as the coconut thoms, swamp oaks, and fishing boats. Of course with the sea comes all that lives on it. Sea food. As you can probably predict, the village is known for the freshness of their seafood in local markets. You can buy the catch of the day, ensuring your food experience is worth it. If you're feeling extra adventurous for the day, maybe you could also try to go boat sailing by renting boats to offshore islands and exploring the ocean. 6. A hike up the mountains. What more beautiful way to end the afternoon with a climb to Karan viewpoint and sundown as your background. Karan viewpoint gained its name because of the utterly breathtaking view you see from up the mountain, with a glimpse of the three iconic beaches Puget offers, Katanoi, Katayai, and Karan Beach. One of the most famous spots on the island, it's located between Naihan and Katanoi beaches. A peaceful hike will gain you the most picturesque view you'll get from the trip, and if you feel like sharing, take a picture and share it on your Instagram. With a little bit of everything, the clear sparkling ocean, tall trees, and widest sands, though make sure to arrive early parking spots are only limited. Make sure to bring some cash with you because you'll never run out of options with the several drinks and snack stands along with the gazebo. 5. Watch Along. Puget Thailand never lacks temples, especially when they have 29, but watch along might just be the best. The temple was built dedicated to Longpo Kaim and Luangpo Triang, the highly respected monks of the islands, and is located in Puget's Chalong Bay in the northern part of Tambul Chalong. If you come to visit, you'll be able to take sight of the human-sized waxed models of the monks and other figures in the temple, all in various poses. To pay your respects, visitors must remove their shoes upon entering the temple and dress conservatively. Some Buddhists come to learn about Buddhism in the temple while many locals pray almost every day. Some locals even claim to have experienced miracles in the temple, including the healing role of the temple during the Battle of the Chinese Secret Societies in 1876. 4. Puget's Trichai Museum. To add to our extensive list of sites, I bet you'd greatly enjoy a trip to the museum and observe the authentic art of the island. The island can get quite hot, so make sure to look for indoor activities to calm your brains too, and the Puget Trichai Museum is the best way to calm you down. The interactive 3D painting exhibition might just be the pop of color your Instagram feed needs. The museum houses 100 painted and sculpted scenes using Trump Deloitte or translated from French meaning, deceive the eye, transporting you to different humorous locations, perfect for a family, and friends activity. For sure to question how the whole thing works when looking at your pictures, so make sure to take your best pictures yet. 3. Puget Night Markets. What's a trip without souvenirs, of course? In the markets of Puget, you'll never run out of things to buy, from street food to bring home key chains. Don't know where to start? Begin your shopping in Sunday walking street market. One of the island's biggest attractions, set in the majestically historic part of the village, and if you haven't guessed it already, the market is only open on Sundays. Your highly suggested to travel on foot to get the most of the local experience with ambiance, lights, art, and antique buildings surrounding the stalls selling mouthwatering street foods. Souvenir shopping can get quite expensive, but not if you know where to look. In the Puget Weekend market, known as the biggest night market on the island, never seemed to run out of souvenirs and local foods. By the nightlife, shopping and sample testing tie street foods while watching live animals perform. Even if you're on a tight budget, the market is still worth the visit, especially since they offer secondhand but good quality goods too. The Puget Weekend market is so big that they decided to split the market in half, one for goods, and the other for foods. If you have adventurous taste buds, you might just enjoy the exotic foods like deep fried insects sold in the stalls. Number 2 Puget Elephant Sanctuary Have you ever wanted to see elephants minus the animal cruelty factor? Well, you're in luck. Because the island also has its very own Puget Elephant Sanctuary, an ethical elephant sanctuary to sight sea elephants as they roam. Dade and socialize with other elephants as they walk around the 30 acres of tropical land and trees bordering the Cal Prateo National Park. These rescued animals will be worth the money because visitors won't be allowed to ride the animals unlike other elephants' sanctuaries. While enjoying the experience as you start the morning, your money supports a cause to take care of old and injured animals. Number 1 Copey-P snorkeling trip The best way to enjoy the ocean is from beneath it, and a snorkeling trip will do just that. Lucky for you, Puget has one of the best diving spots in all of Thailand and is in a specially good condition in comparison to others. The water is an enjoyable temperature of 26-30 degrees Celsius as you travel the waters and explore corals and fishes diverse colors and sizes. Swim in the right place and you might just get to see sea turtles, manta rays and even whale sharks. We highly recommend taking a speedboat to Copey-P, a world-renowned island known for its picturesque landscapes. Near the island is the Rangai and Maya Bay, also known for its scenic view of Thailand waters. The list keeps growing and growing once you've reached Puget.
