Phuket Tour agencies

Tour desks are part of the street furniture in Patong, Kata and Karon, reselling the island's excursion inventory: boat trips, elephant sanctuary visits, Phang Nga Bay tours, zipline parks and shows. Prices for the same tour vary between desks, so the quoted rate has negotiating room, especially outside the December to February peak.

Agencies earn their keep on logistics: they confirm pickup times, arrange hotel transfers and handle weather cancellations. Established offices also book onward travel, from ferry tickets to Phi Phi and Krabi to minivan seats for Khao Lak and Khao Sok. Paying by card usually adds a small surcharge; cash gets the listed price.
