Why this journey

Start your Thailand holiday in Krabi, where limestone cliffs, calm water, and island-dotted seascapes set the tone for the trip. On arrival in Phuket, you travel by private transfer to Krabi and settle in for two nights, with time to enjoy the region at an easy pace and the option to add extra experiences if you want to do more.

The second day brings one of the trip’s most memorable outings: a four-island style sea excursion through Krabi’s best-known coastal scenery. Phra Nang Cave, Chicken Island, Tup Island, and Poda Island each add something different, from clear-water snorkelling and soft sand to dramatic rock formations and low-tide sandbar views. Lunch is included, making the day comfortable and straightforward from start to finish.

After breakfast, you move on to Phuket for three nights and a city tour that balances sightseeing with island atmosphere. The route takes in Phuket Town, Wat Chalong, the Big Buddha, and Promthep Cape, giving you a useful feel for the island beyond its beaches. The pace leaves room for photos, short stops, and views across the Andaman Sea.

Your Phi Phi Island day is a highlight of the programme, with big-boat transfers, lunch, and national park fees included. Expect a full day on the water visiting the Phi Phi area’s most recognisable bays and lagoons, including Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Nui Bay, and Monkey Beach. It is the sort of day that suits travellers who want the classic Andaman scenery without having to arrange boats, tickets, or logistics separately.

The final full day is left open for leisure in Phuket, which works well if you want to rest, shop, or add an optional excursion before your return transfer the following day. With two coastal bases, included inter-island travel, and a mix of sightseeing and free time, this 6-day Thailand holiday is a practical choice for travellers who want both Krabi and Phuket in one trip.
