i’way is cool ☝

Highway to success. What 2025 was like

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:02:32 +0700

We are pleased to share our 2025 year-end results with partners, passengers and everyone who helps make every ride exceptional.

In 2025 we scaled further, moved faster and sharpened efficiency. We grew the team, broadened our horizons and launched initiatives that were once only ambitions. So we did everything to make our service synonymous with the perfect ride.

Rides

Ride volume climbed steadily throughout the year. Below are some of the 2025 milestones we are proud to highlight:
— Annual bookings record
— Daily and monthly high records
— All-time high in B2B partner orders

We celebrated these achievements and then got back to work. Bigger goals and unscaled peaks lie ahead.

In 2025, total ride volume grew by 52%, with strong regional performance:
— Turkey +45%
— Thailand +32%
— UAE +55%
— Europe +41%
— Americas +59%
— CIS +12%

As a result, we arranged rides in 133 countries.

B2B-partners

In 2025 we signed contracts with more than 1,400 travel agencies operating in 83 countries, providing their clients a predictable, reliable and safe transfer every single day.

Our partner network expanded by 48% with Latin America leding the charge with a record of 141% year-on-year increase in active partners.

We also embedded i’way booking APIs into 40 travel platforms across Asia, Europe and South America, further strengthening our global distribution

Today, our current partners operate in UAE, Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Belarus, Spain, Italy, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Netherlands, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, USA, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Estonia.

We also marked an important milestone by becoming an official member of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) and the Outbound Tour Operators Association of India (OTOAI).

Services & Standards

On-demand rides now live in 40+ cities, including Paris, London, Dubai, Istanbul, Beijing, Shanghai, Astana, and many more, allowing agents to book an i’way transfer for the nearest available slot.

Passengers benefit from drivers and clean, late-model vehicles under 5 years old, available instantly.

We also expanded to yacht & boat cruises and now offer curated package tours across 8 countries and 15 destinations: Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, the UAE, India, Spain, Egypt, and China.

To enhance customer support, we launched a dedicated Telegram support bot that provides passengers with 24/7 real-time assistance — without the need for a single phone call.

Quality benchmark: our in-app passenger rating has remained at 4.9 out of 5 for the fifth consecutive year, underscoring consistent service excellence.

We continue to expand our global driver network, enabling competitive pricing while maintaining an average rating of 4.95.

MICE

We handled high-profile events worldwide, including the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 – Formula 1, GITEX GLOBAL 2025, the Paris Air Show, the Dubai Airshow 2025 and dozens others.

We also organised secure rides for hockey teams, choirs, film crews, medical staff, press, delegations, mayors and businessmen.

Website

In 2025, we actively developed our website for both passengers and partners. Here are some of our standout releases:

We launched a supplier marketplace. In Dubai, Antalya, Alanya, Istanbul, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris and on Sanya Island we now onboard reliable partners and feature them on the platform under our own brand.

Service and quality standards remain identical whether you book an i’way-branded car or one under the partner’s own name.

We added passenger & luggage capacity right on the class-selection screen, allowing travelers instantly see how many people and suitcases each vehicle can accommodate.

Set up the system. So each agent can send a proposal to a tourist in their preferred social network or email with just a few clicks. All you need to do:

Set the route
Click “Copy offers”
Select the appropriate car classes
Paste the prepared proposal into a message to the client. At this stage, you can remove the prices if you wish.
Send the message.

We disabled meet-and-greet sign orders at airports where it’s prohibited. In Istanbul, for example, divers are not allowed inside the airport building and must wait outside. In such cases, our coordinators meet passengers at designated meeting points.

We launched a Spanish-language version website, reaching 600+ million Spanish speakers worldwide. A 141% increase in partner growth across Latin America confirms that this investment paid off.

Mobile App

We refreshed the passenger experience, making mobile app faster and simpler. Banners, stories and nearly every web-booking feature now available directly in passengers’ pockets via the mobile app.

The i’way app was downloaded 500,000 times. It’s an all-time record.

Thanks for riding every mile with us; let’s keep raising the bar together 💚

What 2023 was like

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 15:16:25 +0700

Tourism has once again become an essential aspect of our lives, and throughout 2023, the i’way team has relentlessly strived to enhance the reliability and quality of our services. We would like to highlight the primary changes and milestones achieved.

Service

Preferred choice of world capitals. We have emerged as a major player in the international market, handling hundreds of weekly bookings in Paris, Istanbul, Dubai, London and other major international hubs.

Ever-expanding. Our footprint has expanded with the establishment of branch offices in UAE, Kazakhstan and India dedicated for sales and service operations.

Highly rated. The average service rating for 2023 is 4.9, while the rating of our own network of drivers has garnered an outstanding average of 4.95.

Unique Integrations. We have achieved successful integration with AirVistara, one of the top three renowned airlines in India, and 20 other integrations with leading traveltech companies.

Upgraded Website and App

New personal account. This year, the company introduced a completely new personal account tailored for corporate users and implemented travel policy customization through the “Documents” section, where financial documents are stored for the customer.

Driver details in advance. The i’way app now sends notifications to users about their assigned vehicle in the morning before their journey, providing peace of mind for passengers by ensuring their ride details well in advance. This is unlike other transportation companies that assign vehicles late at night or taxis that assign them right before the trip. By pre-assigning vehicles, passengers are assured of their trip. Moreover, information about the assigned driver is also conveyed to the customer through their account and API.

With the i’way app, the sky’s the limit. The i’way app is a widely versatile transfer booking tool embraced by both individual, corporate customers, and agents. Customers have been booking transfers through the app for more than two years. Its intuitive interface allows users to book transfers seamlessly, even during weekends, evenings, or vacations when access to a PC or laptop is limited. They can easily make bookings for themselves or their passengers while on their way to work or elsewhere.

Get a quote faster than ever. Our development team has significantly improved the speed and accuracy of the quoting process, delivering results in just 3-5 seconds, a huge improvement from the previous 10-15 seconds.

Boat transfer in Venice. The product team has introduced a new multimodal service, combining a meet-and-greet service at Venice Airport, followed by a combined transfer of a luxury car and a premium-class boat.

Support

Now on WhatsApp. In response to our users’ preferences, we’ve launched passenger support through WhatsApp, offering an alternative communication channel for those who prefer messaging over phone calls. Now, the WhatsApp phone number is sent via SMS a few hours before the ride.

A+ International Support. Our commitment to exceptional support is evident in our statistics – 86% of incoming calls were answered within 15 seconds, and the rate of missed calls was only 1.3%.

Next year we will be celebrating the 15th anniversary. Achieving this milestone signifies trust, strong long-term relationships, and recognition of our commitment to service excellence.

See you in the coming year.

To Taxi or to Transfer – that, is the question

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 16:36:30 +0700

While communicating with colleagues at industry events, we’ve repeatedly noticed that not all travel professionals can draw the line between taxis and transfer services. Whenever we’re privy to an open discussion about the transfer, there’s always the question – are you talking about football or card payments?

The difference between the two is rather superficial.

Taxi services (including ride-hailing apps) provide rides ‘here and now, whereas transfer services operate on a pre-order-only basis.

Since we are dealing with a pre-ordered service and an on-the-spot, pay-as-you-go service, we, as the user, have different expectations for each. In the first case, we expect the immediate arrival of a car after just a few taps on our smartphone. In the second case, we expect the reliable and guaranteed delivery of the car at the appointed time. This basic difference leads to the emergence of fundamentally different business models while enabling the appearance of externally similar, but completely different services.

Let’s talk about these differences between the models in more detail.

First, let’s talk about taxis.

Nowadays, we expect a taxi to arrive within 3-5 minutes after we’ve ordered it. If the wait drags on, we start to get frustrated (although we should be surprised at the technological breakthrough that made it possible to implement such a model; ten years ago, these waiting times were infeasible).

To ensure the quick arrival of a car, the taxi service must have thousands of active drivers ready to accept orders. To do this, the company needs a giant fleet of drivers, which they can attain by taking advantage of the low barriers to entry.

Do you remember the basic message with which Uber entered the market in 2012-2013? It went something like this: “Anyone can be a taxi driver. In the morning, you might be a student, an accountant, or a doctor, but in the evening you are a driver. This is normal.” Uber’s market entrance reflected the urgent need to get drivers on the road to provide an unprecedented level of convenience to the consumer.

When we know that anyone can drive a vehicle, we don’t expect much from the service. For us, it’s enough to know that the car will be modern, the driver will arrive quickly and the atmosphere within the cabin will be calm and silent.

Everything is a little different when we have an important trip ahead of us. For example, to or from the airport. In this case, our expectations and requirements increase significantly. We’re trusting that the driver will arrive on time, shall drop us off on time, and track the flight to spot delays in advance.

It’s even more difficult when we order a car for another person — there’s no room for error. There’s added stress regarding reliability, ordering in advance, and we ought to organize a sign too if it’s an airport pickup.

Can a taxi service provide all this with guarantees too? Well, it’s unlikely. The taxi business model just doesn’t focus on this. Instead, it’s focused on mass customer service, where the quantity of trips completed is the most important. When we’re talking about taxi services, the driver cannot wait for a particular guest for an hour at the airport, they cannot go to the terminal with a sign, and they aren’t interested in tracking the arrival time of the flight. Moreover, taxi services don’t appoint drivers in advance, giving them a maximum of 30 minutes’ notice before a trip.

Let’s move on to transfer services. What do we expect from them?

Transfer companies don’t provide your everyday city service. Transfers are inscribed in the chain of “airplane – car – hotel”. We subconsciously expect an equal level of service at all stages of a business trip. At the wheel, the driver is no less than the pilot of an aircraft. By the way, this is a neat psychological item that we explore through our marketing activities. We use branded signs at the airport and even go as far as using certain language, describing customers as “guests”. Sounds strange for a taxi, right?

Why can transfer services provide things that taxis cannot?

Ultimately, because orders are booked well in advance. It is not possible to order a transfer immediately, which means that there is no need for the mass recruitment of drivers to ensure their presence in every district of the city at any given time. Moreover, the volume of orders from such companies is of a completely different order. This allows you to select drivers more carefully; by nature, these drivers are going to be qualified, experienced, and will provide a much better service to their passengers.

Within a transfer service, the driver’s travel schedule is created in advance. This is both the strength and weakness of this type of service. The strength is that you get all the necessary information in advance, which increases your confidence in the quality of the service. The weakness is that when you change plans last minute or they change due to unforeseen circumstances, you often cannot cancel the reservation without a penalty — after all, the driver has already left on your order.

Will your quality expectations of support service differ? Of course. The very idea of calling ‘Uber’ seems strange; if we need to get in touch with the driver, we use the in-app chat function and wait for a response. If we call the transfer service, we expect to speak to a representative within two minutes.

In terms of conclusions, none of this makes one service better than the other. They just exist for different occasions. We’ll regularly use one on day-to-day travels within the city, while the other is reserved for special occasions such as holidays and business trips.

Although, there is one thing that gives the transfer service a clear advantage — the driver selection process. But, we’ll talk about that next time.

Summing up the results of 2020. What was it like for i’way?

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 18:43:56 +0700

In the last days of the year soon to be departed, it is customary to take stock. Keeping with tradition, we have decided to tell you what we managed to achieve in the difficult year of 2020. In short, the year was completely atypical. But we have made every effort to, and have become more technologically advanced; our services are now even more convenient, while taking care of our customers is still our top priority.

Let’s take a look at some of the achievements of i’way over the past year:

1. We retained and expanded our team

We have kept our company and team. 2020 was a challenging year not only because of the pandemic, but also because of the crisis that ensued. This was most notable in the travel industry, which almost ceased to operate for some time due to closed borders. Despite this, i’way managed to keep its team, which continued to develop all of its services. We rebuilt communication, got used to remote work and learned how to work in the most unusual of conditions.

2. We launched a joint program with Aeroflot

Now our clients can receive Aeroflot Bonus miles for each trip that they take with i’way transfer. To do this, you need to indicate your personal account number in i’way’s mobile application. Miles will be accumulated after each trip.

3. Updated and improved Artificial Intelligence

Updating and improving our AI allows us to increase the processing speed of requests by the booking department (by about 90%).

4. Website redesign and mobile application improvement

We have updated the design of our website iway.io. Now it has become clearer, more visually appealing and lighter, for the convenience of our clients. Our mobile application has also been updated, which is now simply called i’way. By the way, you can download it from the App Store and the Google Play store.

5. We have updated the application for drivers ‘i’way driver’.

Now, the i’way driver app for drivers is available for download from the App Store. Also, in addition to receiving orders and tracking flights via the app, you can also track your income. The new version of the application has a tab named “Wallet”, via which you can track your earnings.

6. Improved collection of feedback from our customers

We have improved our feedback collection system to ensure that our system is constantly moving in the right direction. Thanks to this, the average travel rating has increased.

7. We have integrated our transfers into the S7 Airlines application

Now, an i’way transfer can be ordered from the mobile application of S7 Airlines. When ordering a transfer, you will receive miles directly to your S7 Priority card.

8. Implementation of additional services

We made a meeting with a sign in a separate service. Now the passenger decides whether to meet him with a sign or not.

In addition to this:

We have worked out a system for calculating driver ratings. Now, there will be even fewer unscrupulous drivers;
We improved the driver monitoring system to keep rides comfortable;
We introduced a push notification system for all users of our mobile applications;
We have improved the system of payment and additional payments by bank card.

This year was difficult and chaotic, forcing all of us to come up with new schemes on the fly and constantly rebuild our plans. But, despite this, we all became friendlier, more responsive and wiser.

Next year, we will continue our dialogues with clients and partners, expand our staff with new specialists and make our service even more convenient.

Thank you for being with us and trusting us. Happy New Year!

What do you need to remember traveling with parents?

Fri, 13 Mar 2020 16:05:11 +0700

It’s great if your parents are fit, cheerful and sharing your interests like a go riding on ostriches or go to an immersive staging about coronavirus. But it happens that different generations have different interests.

Therefore, we know what you need to be prepared for if you decide to take mom and dad to the resort.

Insurance for seniors will be more expensive

For elders, as well as for children, the probability of an accident is statistically higher. Hence there is a natural increase in prices.
Thank progress, you can buy insurance online.

The relief matters

Even if your parents for the past 20 years was climbing, make allowances for their age. Try to avoid the stairs. No doubt, that parents are young at heart, but you all travel to chill, not to get tired.

Need to take medicine seriously

If your parent takes life-saving drug on a regular basis you need to follow some rules:
1) Recipes for them should be translated into national language of the country you go
2) Have a separate first-aid kit case for the parent to quickly find the right medicine
3) Take on board required amount of meds for parent needs if the flight will be delayed. And only in original packing!

Take care of comfortable arrival.

A long flight is difficult for the elderly: pressure drops, time zones change, etc. Book a transfer by i’way, then you don’t need to look for a taxi at a reasonable price all over the airport.

Order a transfer to anywhere in the world

You shouldn’t become a nanny

Although the roles change and with age children care about their parents more than vice versa, you need control yourself. Even in caring. Remember how you felt when you were overly patronized! Caring is not tantamount to custody.

... as well as your parents

If you travel with all three generations of your family, don’t “push” offsprings to grandparents. They have the right to relax, just like you.

“Let’s decide in progress” is a bad strategy

If your main goal is sightseeing, settle an issue amicably what places you want to visit together, and where you can take a walk alone. So you can avoid unnecessary resentment.

We also recommend taking a lot of photos: parents will look at them with joy and pride, recalling the time you spent together.

Spain, but make it different: what to see in Barcelona?

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 15:52:37 +0700

Football, Mediterranean, Antoni Gaudi...what else is there in Barcelona? If you’re reading this, the chances are you’re way past googling the weather forecasts for the dates of your stay, and you’re digging into the topic to find something a little bit more out-of-the-way. We won’t disappoint you, promise!

Here are our picks for places to see and visit in one of Spain’s most iconic cities:

«Bostik Murals» — Sprayed-on industrial site /urban art museum

Why confine the creative energy by exhibition halls if the art can take over the museum grounds and street walls? This urban art museum is located at the former industrial site. You may find all sorts of things here — from murals of Barcelona street artists to exhibits of modern art pieces. During weekends, there’s a flea market surrounded by numerous colorful street food trucks. You should also get up to the roof terrace, to see a fantastic piece by Sixe Paredes covering the entire wall.

Wanna catch a bit of that ancient Greek vibe, and enjoy a good performance from an open-air amphitheater? So what you’re in Catalonia, nothing is impossible in Barcelona — when it’s warm outside, just head to the Greek theatre and enjoy the shows from the local stage and musical performers. A cool bonus — this place looks like legit ruins of some ancient buildings, although it has been built in 1929.

Opening hours
Every day from 08:00 till dusk

Prices
The entrance is free except for events

«Marsella» — a 1930-ties hipster hot-spot

This bar is like a time machine. You can almost see Dali and Picasso getting wasted in the corner, dissing their ex’s... And this place is still a hit today, filled with bohemian youngsters, journalists and some well -and lesser-known poets.

What to try here? Same as in the previous century, the main drink for this bar is absinthe (served here with sugar). It does bring out an animal in you, so, when coming to Marsella, come with a friend — to keep an eye on you.

Opening hours
Daily from 18:00 till 02:00.

Prices
1 absinthe shot is 5,20 €

Thorny gardens of Mossen costa i llobera

If you are a fan of cactuses and succulents (and can not afford a trip to Mexico), then this place is a must. This botanical garden houses over 800 types of desert and tropical plants from all over the world. Cactuses are especially cool: they got them in all shapes, from tiny ones to two-story building-sized giants. You may take your kids with you, too, provided that they understand that cactuses are fun to watch, but not to touch.

The Sun here has no mercy — do not forget your hat.

Opening hours

Stranger street — Las Ramblas

Where is Barcelona can a rеgular person see a headless horseman, a forest nymph just a few steps away, and a skeleton riding its bike just across the road? The correct answer is “walking down a street”. But not any street. Las Ramblas Street.

Behind the masks of mythical creatures, street artists perform their little tricks which are quite fun to watch while wandering through those sunlit alleys, before Barcelona gets too hot.

A good first impression of any city is guaranteed with a transfer service — book now, and we will take you to the hotel with comfort.

Transfer from Barcelona Airport — from 44 EUR

Where to walk in Paris? Tourist free places

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 11:10:54 +0700

After you pass by the Eiffel Tower with the baguette, we recommend taking a walk around more unusual places in Paris. We, as always, have carefully prepared the list of such places for you.

An oasis in the center of Paris – Coulée verte René-Dumont

Why not turn a deserted viaduct and its surroundings into a park area where you want to walk for hours?
Favorite place for cycling and dog walking — 3 kilometers of greenery with restored railway facilities, which turned into art objects.

Private Museum of Old Fair Equipment

The creation of this museum was the life-work of the founder, who has been looking for future exhibits objects for 35 years: the carnival rides, musical instruments, costumes and all the rest of the attributes of chapiteaus. If you are looking for a museum in Paris where you can get involved in art and take beautiful photos, then this place is definitely for you.

The museum has 3 halls showing featuring different eras:

classic Venetian carnival
XIX century traditional fair
Paris Chapiteau beginning of the XX century

N.B.
Tickets must be purchased online.
Tours are mainly conducted in French, but visitors can take booklets in English. In summer there are tours in English as well.

Art projection L’Atelier des Lumières

Paris residents came up with an alternative way to popularize the classics — combine it with digitals.. Here is our advice: visit the exhibition not like a museum, but like a light show that uses the canvases of eminent masters as an instrument.
You will find yourself surrounded by paintings moving around the room and sounds that accompany it. There are also textures to beautify the light, somewhere you see it through a water, somewhere a mirror, etc.

Ticket price
Tickets are preferably pre-purchased online.
€ 15 – Adult
€ 10 – Children
€ 14 – ticket for senior citizens

The oldest operating cinema in Paris — Le Louxor

If you are out of all the desired places, but want to spend the evening outside the hotel, we recommend you go to the cinema. Choose the cinema Le Louxor — you will not watch the next movie about superheroes here, but it’s quite realistic to get to the premiere of something from the modern indie-cinema. If it’s possible, buy a ticket to the Youssef Chahine Hall: it’s decorated in Egyptian style and has a balcony.

Tickets
See here. Caution, French!

Bar La Mezcaleria

Where to end your day in Paris? That’s right, in a funky bar.

Here are the instructions:

Come to the hotel
Tell the staff, that you want to go to the bar and they will let you into the restaurant
At the restaurant, you will be directed to the kitchen, where you will see an unremarkable door

Voila!
Cocktails are quite expensive and stylish, but their specialization is, as you might guess from the name of the bar, mezcal, cousin of tequila.

Top photo spots in Amsterdam

Wed, 19 Feb 2020 15:39:44 +0700

Amsterdam has a certain reputation. But let’s discard stereotypes about red-light in this district and cupcakes with specific additives. Better think about where to take a non-trivial picture there: no tulips, no bicycles, and no goddamn Van Gogh painting reproduction.

Take a photo with flyaway hair on a swing “Over the Edge”

Amsterdam has a top-end attraction, which at the same time is the best observation deck...and this is a swing. The highest swing in Europe: about 80 meters above the ground at an angle of 45 degrees to the Amstel.

N.B.
Children are allowed to swing, but like other entertainments of this kind, there are some limitations – you can do it if you are above 130 cm tall.

Ticket price
A ticket for a swing cannot be purchased without a ticket to the observation deck itself.

Try to catch the moment when there are no passers-by in the Cuyperspassage tunnel

One might wonder, what’s interesting in the tunnel? But there is something — they don’t have to be gloomy and boring.
The pedestrians part is faced with ceramic tiles, which is decorated in the classic dutch style: a panel with the sea, ships, and seagulls. The most difficult thing is to wait until no one walks along the tunnel and photobombed the picture.

When you collect all the best pictures of Amsterdam, don’t forget to order a transfer by i’way — then in your memories, the city will be definitely associated with comfort :)

Things to do in Dubai with kids

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 11:53:55 +0700

Sheiks, luxury and sand — what should do a tourist in Dubai, if not throw the cash around?

Hmm, let’s think about a high level of difficulty. So you need entertainment that will suit different age groups.

At first, you should book a reliable transfer from the airport, because children won’t be happy to wait long after an airplane landing.

Order 38.61 €

And then, you should already have answers to these questions: what’s interesting to see in Dubai? How to entertain a child here?

We have a plan for you!

Visit Dubai Garden Glow — an entertainment park made of recycled material

An unusual concept that will be appreciated by eco-activists: a luminous exposition of figures consisting of energy-saving light bulbs and recycled materials. If you travel with children go to the part of the park with dinosaurs.

Ticket price
48 dirhams (12,06 €) per person

Ski in the summer at Ski Dubai

We want coldness in summer and hotness in winter. So the most logical decision is to go to a park covered with technical snow, where the temperature remains within -1-6 ° C.
Even if you are a beginner who can barely stand on a snowboard, you will find a slope suitable for your range of difficulty.

Admission fee
735 dirhams in 2 hours (approximately 185 €)

Opening hours
Sunday – Wednesday: from 10:00 to 23:00
Thursday: from 10:00 to 00:00
Friday – Saturday: from 09:00 to 23:00

Recall that you also were a child at Legoland Dubai

A few hours will fly by if you travel with children from 2 to 12 years in Legoland. You will see all the stages of creating Lego people, visit an amusement park and a store with unique sets of toys. Prepare your wallet!

Admission fee
115 dirhams per person (about 29 €)

Opening hours
Sat-Wed: from 10:00 to 18:00
Thu-Fri: from 10:00 to 20:00

Take a walk along Alserkal and discover the modern art of the UAE

The former industrial area has become a stronghold of contemporary art. The first private museum, restaurants and art residencies. Local artists have the opportunity to be known and have yet their space.
Please note that the avenue is far from the subway and it’s better to get there by car.

Taste ethnic cuisine in a colorful restaurant Mama Zonia

Signature cocktails, DJ-sets in the evenings and the Amazon forests mood in design. Considering all the atmosphere, it is not surprising that the dishes there have varying degrees of strangeness, up to frog legs. But the price list for Dubai is quite affordable: from 40 dirhams (about 10 €) you can have a sushi-set, and 404 dirhams (about 102 €) cost a full set of dishes.

It would seem that the fact you can spend your vacation in a warm country is enough. But you want to capture memories aesthetically beautiful, right? Since we get ready for Thailand, let’s do everything right — catch our selection of places, where you can take the best pictures in Phuket.

Lookout on Khao Rang Viwepoint

We found the best viewing point for you. The place from where you can see the whole city, part of the bay and the sea. Getting to this viewing platform without a bike or a car will be difficult, so we recommend you rent a vehicle.

Important: don’t forget to stock up on bananas and nuts, near the observation point is a place for feeding monkeys.

Floating Bungalows in Khao Sok National Park

You need to try to make here a bad shot: bamboo thickets, waterfalls, wild animals and a beautiful turquoise lake. And here are located the bungalows: you can book them for a couple of days or just make a thousand photography nearby (no one will blame you, everyone have an Instagram). This is a perfect place if you are looking where to take a romantic walk in Phuket.

P.S. Better take a raincoat and a large towel with you, cuz the weather can be unpredictable.

“360°” Bar

Hedonism in the tropics: cocktails, wine and fine (in every sense) cuisine.
Book a table at sunset to get a stunning view of the setting sun and make your sweetheart proposal — love is in the air.

Mai Khao Beach

The place is near the airport, which means there is a million dollars opportunity to take pictures with a flying airplane in the background. On Instagram such photos will inevitably be liked, we guarantee.

Khao Ta Pu

This is not Phuket, but we don’t include this item on the list would be wrong.

Surprisingly, a stone can be an Instagram object. For example, a landmark, that you can saw in one of the films about agent 007 — a rock on the island of Koh Tapu. This place is even called “James Bond Island.”
Since 1988, it has been forbidden to move close to the rock for safety reasons. But no one bothers if you to take a selfie in front of the rock :)
