Bangkok & Phuket Highlights
Thailand
*Subject to availability
Discover Bangkok's temples and buzzing streets, then unwind on Phuket's turquoise beaches.
Bangkok and Phuket are two of Thailand's most popular destinations, offering distinct yet complementary experiences on this eight-night escape. Bangkok, the bustling capital, is known for its vibrant street life, ornate temples like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, and diverse shopping and nightlife scenes, making it a true hub of culture, history, and modernity. Wander through golden temple courtyards by day, then dive into the energy of night markets and rooftop bars as the city comes alive after dark. In contrast, Phuket is Thailand's largest island, famous for its stunning beaches, turquoise waters, and laid-back tropical atmosphere. Here the pace slows right down, with world-class diving, island hopping, and long lazy days by the sea taking centre stage, while Patong Beach delivers a livelier scene once the sun sets. It's the perfect counterpoint to the capital's fast-paced charm. Together, Bangkok and Phuket showcase the dynamic beauty and cultural richness that make Thailand a top global travel destination. With return international flights, eight nights in 4-star properties, daily breakfast and airport transfers included, this package is designed to let you experience both sides of Thailand seamlessly, without the hassle of arranging the details yourself.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Begin your journey with your flight to Bangkok. Upon arrival in Thailand, you are met by a representative and transferred privately to your hotel to settle in and begin your holiday.
Enjoy a full day to explore the city of Bangkok at your own pace. Discover the ornate temples, bustling markets, and grand palaces that define this capital city, or simply relax and enjoy the facilities at your hotel.
Spend another day immersing yourself in the local culture of Bangkok. Whether you choose to navigate the winding canals of the Chao Phraya River or sample authentic street food in the city centre, the day is yours to enjoy as you wish.
Today you transfer to Bangkok Airport for your domestic flight to Phuket. Once you land, a private transfer will take you directly to your beachside resort, where you can spend the remainder of the day relaxing in your surroundings.
Indulge in a day on the beautiful island of Phuket. Spend your time lounging on the soft sands of Bangtao Beach or taking a refreshing dip in the crystal clear waters of the Andaman Sea at your leisure.
Continue your retreat in Phuket. Enjoy the resort facilities or explore the nearby local attractions at your own pace, ensuring you take full advantage of the stunning coastal scenery and tropical climate throughout the day.
Make the most of your penultimate day in Phuket by enjoying the sun and sea. Whether you are looking for adventure with water sports or preferring a quiet day of rest at the hotel, you have plenty of time to unwind.
On your final full day, savour the atmosphere of your resort or venture out into the local area for any last-minute souvenir shopping. Reflect on your Thai getaway while enjoying the comforts of your final evening in Phuket.
Spend your final full day relaxing on the golden sands of Bangtao Beach. You have the freedom to enjoy the resort facilities, take a refreshing swim in the Andaman Sea, or explore the local area at your own pace before your journey home tomorrow.
After breakfast, a private transfer collects you from your resort for the journey to Phuket Airport. From here, you board your international flight back to London, marking the conclusion of your Thai holiday.
