About this trip

What a Thailand trip looks like

Almost every Thailand trip is a city and an island. Bangkok is the arrival point and worth two nights: the Grand Palace, the river, and food that is better on the street than in most restaurants. Then you fly south to an island and stop moving.

Pattaya is two hours from Bangkok by road and is the cheap way to add a beach without another flight. Phuket costs a domestic flight but is a better sea, with Phi Phi and Phang Nga close enough for day trips.

The choice between them is the one worth making carefully, and it comes down to whether you want the sea itself or just to be near it.

Where you actually go

01

Grand Palace

The walled royal compound on the Bangkok riverbank, with Wat Phra Kaew and the Emerald Buddha inside it. Shoulders and knees covered, no exceptions.

02

Wat Pho

The reclining Buddha, forty-six metres of it, behind the palace. Also the country’s oldest massage school, if you want one afterwards.

03

Wat Arun

The porcelain-tiled temple across the river, best reached by the cross-river ferry and best photographed from the far bank at dusk.

04

Chao Phraya river

The way to move through Bangkok. Public boats run all day and beat the traffic; the dinner cruises run after dark.

05

Phi Phi islands

A speedboat day from Phuket: Maya Bay, snorkelling over the reef and lunch on the water. The one day worth an early start.

06

Phang Nga Bay

Limestone stacks and sea caves north-east of Phuket, reached by longtail, with James Bond island among them.

07

Coral Island

The short boat hop off Pattaya, for anyone not flying south: parasailing, banana boats and a beach lunch.

08

Pattaya Floating Market

Four zones on stilts over the water, one for each region of the country, with the food to match.

09

Safari World and Marine Park

A drive-through safari and a marine park on the north-east edge of Bangkok. A full day, and the one children ask for.

10

Patong and Kata

Phuket’s two main beaches: Patong loud and lit, Kata quieter and better for swimming.

Before you ask

Everything you might want to know

Are the prices per person?+

We quote per person on twin sharing, and we quote per enquiry rather than publishing a rate. Prices move with your travel dates, the hotel category and availability on the day you book. A published number would be wrong for most people who read it.

Can I change the hotels or the number of nights?+

Yes. Tell us what you want changed (a cheaper hotel, one night less, a different city) and we revise the itinerary until it fits, then confirm the booking.

Is the visa included?+

Visa-free entry for Indian passport holders. Confirm the current rule and permitted stay before booking. Visa fees are not included in the package unless the quote says so, and we confirm the current requirement for your passport and dates before you pay.

When is the best time to go?+

November to April, before the rains. Travelling outside that window is usually cheaper, and we will tell you honestly what you would be trading away.

What do you need to confirm the booking?+

[Advance amount, the documents required and when the balance falls due — to confirm before launch.]

What is your cancellation policy?+

It depends on how far ahead you cancel and on what the hotels and operators in your itinerary allow. The scale that applies to your booking is set out in your quote before you pay. [Standard terms — to confirm before launch.]

How soon do I get the itinerary?+

[Usual turnaround — to confirm. Typically the same working day on WhatsApp.]

Not quite right?

Customise this package.

Nothing here is a fixed departure. Change the hotel, drop a night, add a city, travel on different dates. Tell us what you want and we rebuild the itinerary. The person who sends the quote is the person who books the hotel.

If you would rather not use WhatsApp

Leave four details and we will call you back.
