Dubai is located southeast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It houses the largest population in the UAE and is considered the most moderate and progressive of all the emirates to be experienced on a Dubai vacation.

Early archaeological findings in Dubai date back to around 8000 BC, however, the Sheikhdom of Dubai was not formally established until 1833. By the beginning of the 20th century, the area was an important trading hub and with the discovery of oil in 1966, infrastructure began to expand. Just a few years later, in 1971, Dubai became the second emirate to join the UAE.

Phuket is the largest island in Southern Thailand and is one of Asia’s most popular beach destinations in Thailand. Surrounded by the Andaman Sea to its west and various bays to its east, Phuket features powdery white beaches, magnificent coves, lush mountains, and hospitable people.

Located approximately 536 miles (863 km) south of Bangkok, Phuket is approximately the size of Singapore, and the province’s borders include other smaller, nearby islands.

Previously named Thalang, Phuket is located on one of the major trading routes between China and India, attracting the competing Dutch, English and French for its tin and rubber resources.

Kicking off in the late morning at 11:00, transfer from the hotel to the Chalong Bay Rum Distillery around noon, just in time for delicious lunch at the distillery. After lunch, be welcomed with a refreshing Chalong Bay Mojito, followed by visiting the one-and-only distillery of Phuket. Observe the inner working process. Learn how award-winning rum is produced from sustainably-grown Thai sugarcane and observe the French copper still and on-site bottling facility in action. After the 30-minute guided distillery tour, come back to the bar to taste 6 different flavors of rum. Have a chance for shopping before departing the distillery. Chalong Bay rums will be packed nicely as a perfect souvenir to bring back home!

After the distillery tour, drive up the hill to where the white Big Buddha of Phuket is viewed attractively from the foothill. The Big Buddha whose official name is Wat Phra Phuttha Mingmongkol Eaknakakeeree is a hilltop temple, home to Southeast Asia's largest Buddha Statue. Once up there, enjoy the stunning bird's eye view of Phuket island down below. Then take a scenic route for a great view of Phuket's beaches at a few stops of the viewpoint.

Cap off the evening at the famous Phromthep Cape for the best sunset of the day before returning back to the hotel.
