Phuket Pearl Farm

Do you know where pearls come from? What is the difference between natural and artificial pearls, why sea pearls are so expensive and how pearls are grown, you can learn from a trip to the pearl farm or to the store and exhibition hall of the farm, which also has an information hall.

The climate and water conditions of Phuket’s east coast are ideal for pearl fishing. Oysters feed on plankton in suitable conditions for its growth, the water temperature is +26-29 all year round, and the daily tides consistently bring nutrients.

If you do not need an excursion to the farm, but only want to visit the exhibition hall and buy pearl products, then the transfer from any hotel is free.

The pearl farm tour includes: a long-tailed boat ride with a Russian guide to the farm itself in the Bay of the sea, where you will learn what exactly helps to keep oysters in suitable conditions, how exactly they are planted on the farm, see how exactly pearls are extracted from the oyster and how they look before they are processed to beautiful smooth condition and more.

This farm is a family business that started back in 1967, at the moment it is not only a network of farms, but also research developments on the breeding of spherical and round pearls. The product complies with the international standards ISO 9000: 2001, and was also presented by Phuket at the ASEAN Summit on the Protection of Intellectual property rights.

After visiting the farm, you will have a sweet tea party at the pearl factory, as well as an exhibition hall with crowns for the beautiful winners of the Miss Thailand, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore,Myanmar beauty contests, and of course a hall with their sea and river pearls.
