Itinerary
Day 01: Arrival in Phuket & Evening at Phuket FantaSea
Your journey begins as you land at Phuket International Airport, where a warm welcome awaits you. After being escorted to your hotel, the first hours in Thailand are left free for you to relax, settle in, and absorb the tropical air. The evening brings your first taste of Thai culture in the most extravagant way possible – the world-renowned Phuket FantaSea show. This cultural extravaganza is unlike anything you’ve seen before, a blend of acrobatics, magic, pyrotechnics, and traditional dance, set against stunning theatrical backdrops with ornate sets and costumes. It is a celebration of Thailand’s spirit and heritage, presented with dazzling modern effects that leave audiences spellbound. After this sensory feast, you return to your hotel for your first overnight stay in Phuket.
Day 02: Phi Phi Island Excursion with Lunch
The morning begins with a delicious breakfast before you set out across the Andaman Sea towards the legendary Phi Phi Islands, often called the jewels of Thailand. A speedboat carries you through turquoise waters, past towering limestone cliffs that rise dramatically from the sea, creating one of the most photographed landscapes in the world. As you approach Maya Bay, you find yourself standing in the very place that inspired global wanderlust, its turquoise lagoon framed by emerald peaks. Throughout the day, you discover other island treasures – secluded coves like Loh Samah Bay and Monkey Beach, where cheeky macaques frolic on the sand. The sea is alive with coral reefs and tropical fish, inviting you to snorkel and explore its underwater world. Lunch is served at a charming beachside restaurant where the sea breeze accompanies your meal, and afterwards, the afternoon is yours to swim, sunbathe, or simply gaze at the endless horizon. By evening you return to Phuket, sun-kissed and content, for another restful night at your hotel.
Day 03: Exploring Phuket’s City, Temples and Beaches
After breakfast, the day unfolds with a tour of Phuket, a city that balances old-world charm with coastal beauty. Wandering through Old Phuket Town feels like stepping back in time, where pastel-colored colonial mansions and Sino-Portuguese shop houses line the streets, remnants of the island’s tin-mining past. Cafés and markets buzz with life, and the air carries a blend of spices, incense, and sea salt. The journey then takes you to Wat Chalong, the most revered Buddhist temple on the island, its gleaming stupa rising towards the sky and housing a sacred relic of the Buddha himself. The serenity of the temple grounds, filled with golden statues and murals depicting the Buddha’s life, offers a glimpse into Thailand’s spiritual heart. Later, as you drive towards the southern tip, you arrive at Rawai Beach, once the island’s very first tourist spot, where fishing boats still rest on the sand and the horizon seems endless. With your heart filled with Phuket’s sights and stories, you return to your hotel for the night.
Day 04: From Phuket to the Serenity of Krabi
The morning begins with breakfast followed by your transfer to Krabi, a land of soaring limestone cliffs, emerald waters, and tranquil charm. Less crowded than Phuket, Krabi feels like a secret retreat, where nature still dominates the landscape. After checking into your hotel, the day is yours to enjoy at leisure. You may choose to walk along Ao Nang’s breezy promenade, filled with cafés and small shops, or simply rest by the sea. The atmosphere here is slower, gentler, and invites you to relax. The evening sky in Krabi paints itself in shades of pink and gold as you prepare for another overnight stay, this time in the serene lap of southern Thailand.
Day 05: The Magic of Krabi’s Four Islands
A day of adventure begins with breakfast before you set off on Krabi’s famous Four Island Tour, a journey that reveals nature’s wonders one by one. At low tide, a rare sight greets you at Thale Waek, known as the “Separated Sea,” where a sandbar emerges from the ocean, creating a path that connects islands. It is a surreal experience to walk across the water as though nature itself is guiding your steps. Soon you arrive at Chicken Island, with its peculiar rock formation shaped like the head of a chicken, but it is beneath the surface that the real treasure lies — a kaleidoscope of coral reefs and marine life, perfect for snorkeling. The next stop, Poda Island, enchants with its pristine white sands and crystalline waters, a postcard scene where time seems to pause. Finally, Phra Nang Bay captivates you with its dramatic cliffs and the sacred Princess Cave, filled with offerings to the spirit of the sea. This day is a celebration of Thailand’s natural beauty, a symphony of sea, sand, and sky. As the sun dips low, you return to your hotel in Krabi for a night of rest.
Day 06: Journey to Pattaya via Bangkok & Evening Alcazar Show
After breakfast, you leave Krabi behind and board your flight to Bangkok. From there, a scenic drive brings you to Pattaya, Thailand’s vibrant coastal city. After checking into your hotel and a brief rest, the evening is reserved for one of Pattaya’s most iconic performances — the Alcazar Cabaret Show. The grand theatre comes alive with dazzling lights, glamorous costumes, and a stage filled with energy. Artists perform with such brilliance that the line between dance, drama, and fantasy disappears. It is an evening of pure entertainment, a showcase of Thailand’s ability to blend tradition with spectacle. After the show, you return to your hotel for an overnight stay in Pattaya.
Day 07: A Day at Coral Island (Koh Larn)
Today’s adventure begins after breakfast as you are whisked away by speedboat to Coral Island, or Koh Larn, located just off Pattaya’s coast. The island is a tropical paradise where emerald-green waters meet soft golden sands. The sea here is alive with coral gardens, visible even from a glass-bottomed boat, while the adventurous can dive deeper with snorkeling gear or indulge in thrilling water sports like parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boat rides. Yet the true charm of Coral Island lies also in its simplicity — the joy of lying on the sand, listening to the waves, and losing yourself to the rhythm of the sea. Lunch is served on the island, after which you return to Pattaya, where the evening is free for your own explorations. Overnight stay in Pattaya.
Day 08: The Cultural Heart of Bangkok
After breakfast, you bid farewell to Pattaya and make your way back to Bangkok, the pulsating capital city of Thailand. On arrival, you set out for a half-day exploration of its temples and cultural landmarks. The first stop is Wat Traimit, the Golden Buddha Temple, where a massive statue of the Buddha made entirely of solid gold sits in silent grandeur. The next is Wat Pho, home to the colossal Reclining Buddha, a masterpiece stretching 46 meters in length and covered in gold leaf, symbolizing the Buddha’s passing into Nirvana. As you walk through these temple complexes, the air carries chants and the fragrance of incense, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere. Driving through Bangkok’s Chinatown and the bustling flower market adds color and vibrancy to the day. The remainder of the evening is free for shopping, whether in the gleaming malls of Siam or the lively street markets. Overnight stay in Bangkok.
Day 09: Departure from Bangkok
On your final morning in Thailand, after breakfast, you check out from your hotel transfer to the airport for your flight back home. As the plane ascends and the cityscape gives way to clouds, you carry back the memories of sunsets on islands, the serenity of temples, the laughter of shows, and the kindness of Thai hospitality — memories that will stay with you long after your return.
