1. Complete Flexibility - Tour at Your Own Pace: This is a self-guided audio tour, NOT a GPS-guided tour. You have complete freedom to choose which attractions to visit, explore in any order you prefer, start and finish wherever you like, and even split the tour across multiple days. Spend as much time as you want at each location and take breaks whenever needed.
2. How You'll Receive Your Tour Materials: On your selected travel date, before your start time, you'll receive two important links: one for your audio guides (SoundCloud) and one for your interactive map (Google My Maps). These links will be sent via your booking platform's messaging system, and also via iMessage/WhatsApp if you provided your phone number during booking. Important: While all links are fully functional, the booking platform may not display link previews due to platform restrictions. For the best experience with instant previews and one-click access, we strongly recommend providing your phone number during booking to receive links via WhatsApp or iMessage. This ensures smoother, faster access to your audio guides.
3. Using Your Audio Guides (Link 1 - SoundCloud): Open the SoundCloud link in your web browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.). You'll see a playlist of all attraction audio guides organized in a suggested order. You can listen before your tour to plan which attractions interest you most, or play them as you arrive at each location. Simply scroll through the playlist, tap any attraction to play its audio guide, and use play/pause controls as needed throughout your tour.
4. Using Your Interactive Map (Link 2 - Google My Maps): Open the Google My Maps link in your web browser - not the Google Maps app. You'll see all attractions marked with headphone icons. Navigate by either tapping directly on any headphone icon on the map, or tapping the tour title below the map to view a complete list of attractions. When you select an attraction, a popup window appears with a clickable link to that location's audio guide.
5. What to Bring & Prepare: Essential items: headphones/earphones, fully charged smartphone, and internet access. Before your visit, review both links to familiarize yourself with the attractions and audio content, then decide your priorities and create your own route or follow our suggested order.
6. Audio Guide Language Selection: Select your preferred audio guide language during booking to guarantee delivery in that language. Language selection cannot be changed after confirmation. If your preferred language isn't available during booking, you can mention it in the Special Requirements section when placing your order. However, this request must be made at least 48 hours before your selected travel date and time. We will make our best effort to prepare your requested language, but please note this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. For the best assurance of receiving your preferred language, always select from the available language options during the booking process.
7. Important Notice - Attraction Fees & Your Responsibilities: While many attractions are free to visit, some may charge fees for special sections, additional services, or general admission. It is your responsibility to check opening hours, closing times, holiday schedules, advance booking requirements, and purchase any necessary admission tickets before visiting each attraction. If you need assistance accessing or using the audio guide, please contact our customer support team.

Old Phuket Town
Step into Southeast Asia's most remarkably preserved colonial trading hub, where Portuguese, Chinese, and Thai influences created an architectural masterpiece that survived centuries of change. Your audio guide reveals how Portuguese traders established the first European settlement here in the 16th century, sharing exclusive stories about the mansion-building tin barons whose colorful shophouses still line these streets. Discover why specific buildings feature unique window designs that protected merchants from both monsoons and pirates, and learn about the secret tunnels that connected Chinese clan houses during turbulent political periods. The narration unveils hidden symbols carved into doorways that indicated which trades operated within, while pointing out architectural details that reveal the social status and cultural heritage of original inhabitants.
Phuket Botanic Garden
Wander through Thailand's most biodiverse sanctuary, where over 2,000 native species tell the story of Phuket's remarkable ecosystem evolution across millions of years. Your audio companion shares fascinating insights about how ancient geological forces created the unique soil conditions that support plants found nowhere else on Earth, including rare orchids that bloom only during specific lunar cycles. Learn about the traditional Thai medicinal practices that indigenous communities developed using these plants, and discover why certain areas of the garden remain untouched to preserve species that local shamans considered sacred. The guide reveals which trees produce the aromatic resins that made Phuket famous among ancient Arab traders, and explains how modern conservation efforts protect endangered species while maintaining the delicate balance that has existed for centuries.

Couldn’t access the playlist for ages and got no support. The tour itself offers no actual info about history either and just tells the listener to “soak up the atmosphere” every 2 mins

Lots of hotels near to the temple, also the restaurant where you can get nice tasty veg food any time from early morning to late light . Temple is holy and God is answering the prayers quickly.
