Arriving in Phuket
Luqman and I took a morning flight from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, arriving in Phuket just in time to kick off our adventure. It’s only a 1-1.5-hour flight from both cities, making Phuket easily accessible.
Day 1: Arrival, Old Town Exploration & Sunset
Pick up your 4G SIM card

The first thing we did after landing? Get connected!
We pre-booked the Happy Tourist SIM on Klook for a fuss-free pickup at the DTAC counter just outside customs. All we had to do was head to the DTAC counter located right outside customs on the right and present our voucher to the staff there.
With unlimited 4G data (up to 3GB), we stayed connected across Phuket — all for only SGD6.29/RM19/Rp.65k, way cheaper than buying at the counter.
Private Airport Transfer

For comfort and peace of mind, we booked a private transfer via Klook. Our friendly driver met us with a clear Klook sign, and we were given a spacious van that accommodated up to 10 people.

No detours, no hidden fees — just a smooth ride straight to our hotel. No need to waste time waiting around for taxis or risk getting ripped off.
Fixed pricing means no surprises, even during peak traffic hours! Plus, you can also use this service if you’re heading to Krabi or Khao Lak from Phuket Airport.
Check-in at Lub d Phuket Patong

Just a 5-minute walk from the bustling Patong Beach, Lub d Phuket Patong's Junior Twin Room (1,550 THB/night) is perfect for young Muslim travellers with its hip design and excellent facilities like a pool and chill-out lounges.
Prefer somewhere quieter? Try Kata, Karon or the ultra-peaceful (and dare we say, secluded and romantic) Nai Harn Beach.

Lunch at Aroon Po Chana
Before heading to our afternoon adventure, we grabbed lunch at Aroon Po Chana, a long-time favourite among Muslim travellers for its Thai-Indian fusion menu. Famous for their roti, curries, and biryani, it's a comforting halal meal to kick off your trip.
Feel the adrenaline at Flying Hanuman

Next, we zipped through Phuket’s lush rainforest with Flying Hanuman’s 28-platform zipline course, one of the top-rated outdoor adventures in Southeast Asia.
We chose Journey A, which includes 15 ziplines, sky bridges, and even a Superman-style flight! Perfect for thrill-seekers.

The Flying Hanuman is family-friendly (kids as young as 4 can join!), and the experience is unforgettable.
Luqman and I tried the buddy zipline, where we got to zip line simultaneously. Definitely something we’d recommend for best friends or couples coming to Phuket.
We even tried a 400-metre flight where you soar face-down like Superman. This really made it feel as though we were really flying, and the view from that angle was simply out of this world!
Absolutely unreal—definitely one for the memory books.

What made it even better? The guides were super friendly and made us feel safe every step of the way. Plus, the sky bridge views were stunning—we were told you can even spot Phi Phi Islands on a clear day!

We booked our session on Klook — and it included round-trip transfers and a vegetarian lunch, making it super convenient and affordable compared to walk-in rates.

Catch the sunset at Patong Beach

After the adrenaline rush, we headed to the famed Patong Beach to catch the sunset. Sunsets are a must-see in Phuket, and the magnificence is worth braving the tourist crowd for.
While it can get crowded, the low tide in the afternoon creates a magical scene with reflections stretching across the sea. You can walk out further, too.
#HHWT Tip: Go just before sunset to also try activities like jet skiing, parasailing and the banana boat.
Alternative: Head to Promthep Cape for a romantic sunset

If you're in the south or have extra time, head to Promthep Cape for one of Phuket's most scenic sunsets. It's a favourite for couples and a romantic way to end the day!

Dinner at Kusuma Seafood

End the day with a hearty halal dinner at Kusuma Seafood, just 10 minutes from Patong Beach. Popular among Muslim travellers, Kusuma is only open in the evening.
Here, you can handpick your seafood and dine alfresco.
We had their Deep-fried Sweet and Sour Fish (300 THB), Fried Chicken with Cashew Nut (150 THB) and Seafood Tom Yum (200 THB).

Our top pick? The Seafood Tom Yum—flavourful and spot on. Kusuma is a little pricey, but choosing your own live seafood and dining al fresco makes it worth it.
Bonus: it’s just 10 minutes from Patong Beach.
Address: Aroonsom Arcade, Patong, Kathu, Phuket
Opening hours: 5pm–12.50am daily
Halal status: Muslim-owned
Day 2: Island Hopping & Seaside Dining
Catamaran Day Tour to Maithon & Coral Islands

The best part about a beach vacay in Phuket? Island day trips! We went with a catamaran tour to Maithon and Coral Island for a more relaxed, luxe vibe. It was also Luqman’s first time on one, so excitement was at an all-time high.
The boat had plenty of space to chill, including the sundeck and an indoor area, but our favourite spot was the net—like a hammock right above the sea.
#HHWT Tip: Seasick pills are provided, but it’s smart to take one before you board!

The catamaran tour was packed with activities—fishing, snorkelling, and kayaking. Our first stop was Maithon Island, and with the heat kicking in, we couldn’t wait to dive into the clear water. So much fun!

Next up was Coral Island, famous for its white sand and crystal-clear waters. We could kayak, swim in a resort pool, or just chill by the beach.
Best part? A tasty halal Thai lunch served right at the island’s resort.

On the way back, we spotted dolphins swimming alongside us—and even heard them whistling! Total highlight of the day.
We booked the all-inclusive tour on Klook for just SGD80/RM253/Rp.868.3k, and it was 100% worth it.
Alternative: Spend a day on a luxurious catamaran

Want something even more exclusive? Check out the Racha and Coral Island Sunset Day Tour on Klook.
Fewer people on board, more activities like parasailing and sea-walking, and meals served right on the catamaran. Lunch and snacks are provided on-board too, so you'll really feel like you're living the high life.
The best part? Watching the sunset at sea—truly a next-level experience.
Dinner at Pantai Seaview Restaurant

After returning to the mainland, we had dinner at Pantai Seaview near Kalim Beach.
Set right by the water, this Muslim-owned gem offered a peaceful sunset view and unique Phuket-style dishes like Sour Shrimp Soup with Fried Egg (180 THB).

It was sour at first, but the more we ate it, we could feel the spice, and it reminded us a lot of tom yum. We found it really interesting that they put a fried egg in the soup too!

Pantai Seaview is perfect for a sunset dinner—unobstructed sea views, cosy vibes for couples, and plenty of space for families too.
It’s just a 10-minute taxi ride from Patong (around 200–250 THB) and is located near Kalim Beach.
Address: 322/3 On Kalim Beach, Kathu 83150
Opening hours: 9 am–10 pm daily
Price range: From 120 THB
Halal status: Muslim-owned
P.S. Spot our HHWT sticker when you visit!
Late-night snacks at Kalim Beach

Stroll down the beach after dinner and you’ll find a row of Muslim-owned food stalls.
You’ll find everything from skewers and BBQ seafood to Thai roti and mango sticky rice. We tried the Fried Coconut Ice Cream (just 30 THB!)—crispy outside, cold and creamy inside, and with a choice of two toppings. So good!
It’s a cosy, laid-back food street near Wada Niyatun Islamiyah Mosque, perfect for a chill end to your day.

Some families brought mats and sat right on the sand, while others dined alfresco at tables by the beach.
With the sea breeze and waves in the background, it’s a peaceful escape from busy Patong. The stalls are open daily from morning till late, so swing by anytime!
Day 3: Phi Phi Adventure & Night Market
Speedboat Tour to Phi Phi & Khai Islands

Day 3 kicked off with a fun (and slightly bumpy) speedboat ride to Phi Phi and Khai Islands. Phi Phi is a must-visit for any first-timer in Phuket!
We cruised past the iconic Maya Bay, which was unfortunately closed for coral preservation and clean-up. Thankfully, the tour brought us to Pileh Cove for a refreshing swim.
We even snorkelled in the stunning waters of Phi Phi Leh. Swimming with fish and exploring the coral was a next-level experience!

Yes, Phi Phi gets crowded—but the breathtaking views more than make up for it.
Our tour included a halal buffet lunch at Phi Phi Andaman Beach Resort, which was a great way to refuel after all the swimming.

After a full morning in the water, lunch really hit the spot.
Then it was off to Khai Nok Island for slightly over an hour, to squeeze in one last dip, snorkel, or just a chill session by the beach.

Khai Nok can get crowded and a bit pricey, especially during peak season, but the scenic views and stunning water are worth it.
We booked the tour on Klook for just SGD56.49/RM180/Rp.616k—including a halal buffet, hotel transfers, and even snacks. That's such good value for money, considering we could explore more than two islands too!
A big shoutout to our guide, Bobby, who took such good care of us and made the whole experience smooth and memorable.
Dinner & shopping at Naka Weekend Market
For our final night, we explored Naka Market—Phuket’s smaller version of Chatuchak, open only on weekends from 4pm till late.

We took a 30–40 minute tuk-tuk ride (around 400–500 THB) to Naka Market, which is packed with stalls selling food, clothes, and souvenirs. Phuket’s tuk-tuks are bigger than Bangkok’s—look for the red, yellow, or green ones!
Halal food was easy to find—think grilled skewers, Thai fried chicken, lekor (soft fish crackers), and even squid egg.
#HHWT Tip: Always agree on the fare first before you get on the tuk-tuk. Do remember to research online or ask the locals about the standard price first before you ride!

Right at the entrance, we found a halal stall selling skewers (15–40 THB each)—the Thai grilled chicken and beef satay were our faves.
You’ll also find Muslim-friendly treats like Khanom Buang (Thai crispy pancakes), ice cream rollies, and fruit smoothies.

One unique find was Khanom Babin—a traditional Thai pancake made with coconut, rice flour, and egg. Chewy, crispy, and absolutely worth a try!

It was our first time trying Khanom Babin—crispy outside, chewy inside, and super tasty.
After eating, we headed to the shopping section and browsed stalls selling Phuket-themed tees starting from just 120 THB.
You’ll find all sorts of souvenirs at Naka—sneakers from 200 THB, handmade bags, Thailand-themed hats, and unique gifts like silver wire figurines, coconut crafts, and massage oils from Nyonya Lady—perfect for loved ones back home.
If you're thinking of bringing back souvenirs, then you'll want to spend some time browsing the selection.

Naka Market had a great vibe—busy but balanced with both locals and tourists, so it didn’t feel like a tourist trap.
#HHWT Tip: Go early! We arrived around 6 pm, and the crowds were already picking up.
Day 4: Floating Brunch & Spa Time
Brunch at Bang Mud Floating Restaurant
Our last morning was reserved for something special: a halal floating restaurant! o get here, we took a taxi ride (about 600THB for 45 minutes) to Laem Hin Pier and then a free 5-minute boat ride from the pier to Bang Mud.
With views of fishing villages and floating platforms, this spot felt like a true escape.

We arrived at Bang Mud Floating Restaurant right as it opened—calm, quiet, and surrounded by local village views.
The wooden setup really floats, and you can pick your own live seafood like crabs, prawns, or fish (including seabass, grouper, snapper and more). Prices vary depending on what you choose.

We ordered Blue Crab Curry (400 THB), Squid Tempura (250 THB), and Stir-fried Veggies with Shrimp (150 THB)—a solid mix of flavour and freshness.

Our favourite was the Blue Crab Curry—so rich in flavour and yummy that we ate with our hands!
While it’s a bit pricier than your average Thai meal, Bang Mud is worth it for the experience, especially for couples or families looking to unwind. The peaceful view of fishing villages certainly adds to the charm.
Address: 73 Laem Hin Road, Ko Maprao, Phuket Town
Opening hours: 10am–8pm daily
Halal status: Muslim-owned
Unwind at Let’s Relax Spa

Before heading home, we treated ourselves to a 3-hour Blooming Life spa package at Let’s Relax, booked through Klook.
Let’s Relax Spa has received numerous awards and it’s even been featured on Lonely Planet. With multiple outlets around Phuket, we didn’t need to travel far to get a relaxing spa.
This included a body massage, wrap, and facial. We got to pick our own massage oils — Siamese blend for me, lavender for Luqman — and it was the perfect way to wind down our trip.

One of the highlights of the spa service?
You get to choose your massage oil. I went with the Siamese blend recommended by the staff for relaxation and skin benefits, while Luqman picked Lavender to ease stress and promote better sleep.

Other oils like lemongrass and green tea are available too. We left the spa feeling totally refreshed and ready to head home.
#HHWT Tip: Book your massage on Klook to save more and skip the hassle—3-in-1 packages are just a few clicks away!
Departure & Prayers at Phuket Airport

After an amazing 4 days, it was time to say goodbye. Our Klook airport transfer was smooth, and our friendly Muslim driver, Brian, even shared insights about Phuket’s 40–50% Muslim population.
#HHWT Tip: Leave 1–1.5 hours to get to the airport from Patong or nearby beaches.
After checking in, we performed our prayers at the airport musollah near check-in row A. It’s well-equipped with prayer mats, garments, a qiblah, the Quran, and even has its own ablution area—super convenient for travellers.
You don’t even have to go through the hassle of going to the toilet to take your wudhu.

And that’s a wrap on our 4D3N Phuket beach getaway! From island hopping to rainforest ziplines and spa indulgence, there’s so much to do—and thanks to Klook, planning it all was easy and budget-friendly.
Time to round up your travel buddies for your own unforgettable trip!
