About this trip

Step beyond the beaches into the island’s rural heart. Your morning begins with a warm community welcome, featuring signature pineapple tea and local treats. Unleash your creativity with a batik painting workshop, where you’ll design a custom handbag using traditional Thai techniques.

Next, board a nostalgic Blue Phothong—Phuket’s iconic open-air bus—to explore a local pineapple plantation. Here, you'll learn harvesting secrets and taste the island's famously sweet fruit straight from the soil. This community-led initiative ensures your visit directly supports various family-run farms.

The adventure continues at a rubber tree grove, where you’ll witness the fascinating process of tapping liquid latex. After testing your skills at traditional coconut harvesting, you’ll join a Kanom Ko workshop to master the art of rolling these sweet, coconut-filled dumplings. The day concludes with a hearty, authentic Thai lunch, leaving you with a deep appreciation for Phuket’s enduring agricultural heritage.
