Horse Riding in Phuket

There is no better way to spend an afternoon then to go horse riding in Phuket, a romantic and enjoyable way to explore Phuket's natural scenery.

What an enjoyable afternoon we had, riding along the white sandy beach at Bangtao. We had never been riding before, and we are so happy that we decided to learn horseback riding in Phuket.

There are three riding clubs in Phuket that we have found. We decided to try the Phuket Laguna Riding Club that is located at at the entrance to the Laguna complex at Bang Tao. Very handy if you are staying at the northern end of the Island. Along our trails we passed lagoons, groves of conifer trees and marshland feilds and the most unforgettable sunset as we rode along the beach.

Horseback riding prices start at 760 baht for a 1 hour ride to 1800 baht for a two and a half hour ride, if you want a sunset ride the price will start at 1125 baht for one and a half hour ride to 1800 baht for two and a half hours.

The price includes an instructor, riding gear, insurance and soft drink. All sessions begin with horseback safety briefing.

Next time we have holidays in Phuket we are going to visit the Phuket Riding Club that is located at Rawai at the Southern end of the Island. Here you can explore trails through coconut and rubber plantations or my favourite which is to ride on an imported quality horse from Australia along Rawai beach. There is also dressage riding rings for the children and beginners.

The Phuket Horse Riding Club prices are from 750 baht for a 1 hour jungle tour up to 1350 baht for a 2 hour beach and jungle tour.

On our last trip to Phuket we found the best suited horse riding club for families it is called the Crazy Horse Club, which is located at Nai Harn. Here they provide ponies for the little children, the trail consists of a 1 hour ride along Laem Ka Noi Beach or a mountain trail ride that takes 2 hours. Unfortunately it was on our last day, so this is going to be on the list for next time as well.

The riding clubs in Phuket all have well trained horses, with horses that are suitable for children and beginners as well as a horseback riding instructor that will give you simple instructions and guide you through the trail. For the more experience rider unlike ourselves you will have guides take you on more adventurous trails.

For something that is totally relaxing and enjoyable try horse riding in Phuket. We can recommend the sunset ride what a fantastic experience, not only for the adults the kids will thoroughly enjoy it to.
