I had a free day in Phuket and found out about Samet Nangshe from this website and also about John Welcome so reached out and was able to sort out a car and driver for the very next day - scored! John was very responsive and we were able to organise quickly and professionally through WhatsApp as I was sitting on Karon beach. My driver Chet turned up on time and had plenty of cold towels and water for the day. He spoke English very well and was used to dealing with foreigners. We went out to Phang Nga to see the reclining Buddha and then out to the Samet Nansghe viewpoint. What a magical spot and Chet made sure I was looked after and even took some photos for me. As I had some time on the return leg, I asked Chet for an authentic experience for lunch. He ended up taking me to a floating restaurant in the middle of the bay near Coconut Island. I saw my lunch swimming in the sea water trap and then beautifully cooked. I was able to enjoy a yellow southern curry with fish, fried fish with crispy garlic and tamarind prawns. Each dish was fresh, well cooked and beautifully presented. Paired with a long neck of Chang, I was able to chill and enjoy the gentle motion of being in the middle of a calm bay with not too many people around. A fantastic experience via Chet !! A few days later, I needed to transfer from my hotel in Phuket Town to my hotel in Ao Nang Krabi. A few short messages to John and it was organised and again Chet promptly arrived to take me seamlessly from Phuket through beautiful Phang Nga and into the remote and beautiful entrance to Ao Nang. I will be recommending John Welcome to any visitor to Phuket and will certainly approach John again on my next trip back to Phuket ! 5 star service all round. @khoistar
