Traveler reviews
Outstanding experience of historical lifestyle in Phuket
We had an eye opening ride from the Port to Old Phuket Farm, and very nice welcome upon arrival. Tour guide Sont was thoroughly enjoyable. Spoke very good English and had many interesting stories about life in Thailand, former and now. The farm was amazing. Experience of meal prepping, rice planting, tinning, rubber tree extract, and livestock was memorable. Even met the third generation family member that currently manages the enterprise. Highly recommend.
Old Phuket Farm tour
Whole experience at the farm was wonderful, from the friendly welcoming greeting, to the fun and interesting tour by Bernie our guide. Was looking for an immersive cultural tour and so pleased we found it at this farm. Highly recommend this experience.
Delightful and informative
Very good tour. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable and made it interesting. There are opportunities to try out rice planting and tin panning in the water which I recommend- wear shoes easy to get off and on. The whole farm is tidy and beautiful and they are good to their animals. The tour takes place a lot in the sun, so hat and sunscreen are wise. They offered parasols to borrow, too.
Wonderful experience
It was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this. Our guide Victor was amazing, full of energy and gave us a lot of information on the Thai culture and agriculture. The whole team is just adorable. Thank you so much guys!!!!
Hands-on traditional farming experience
We’re so glad we went to Old Phuket farm. Bernie was our tour guide and he did a great job of showing us around. We learnt lots about traditional farming and processing of rice and rubber. We also got our hands dirty and tried planting rice, cleaning the water buffalo and processing the rubber from the tree into a sheet. Highly recommend.
