Answer

Phuket has several trails that are perfect for beginners. A great starting point is the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, where you can find well-marked paths that lead to beautiful waterfalls and offer a chance to immerse yourself in nature without the intensity of more challenging hikes.

• You might also consider the Big Buddha Trail, which is relatively short and leads to the iconic Big Buddha statue while providing stunning views along the way. Both of these options are well-suited for those who are just starting out and want to enjoy the outdoors safely.

Check age, height, fitness and supervision requirements before paying. Build in shade, water and rest time, and avoid overloading a family day with long cross-island transfers.
