Thailand Essentials: Bangkok and Phuket in 7 Days
This 7-day trip combines Bangkok and Phuket with a mix of city sights, market visits, river scenery and time by the sea. It begins in Bangkok, where you visit the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple, then continue to the railway market, a floating market and the Klong Klone mangrove area by boat. After your flight to Phuket, the pace changes. One day is set aside for a speedboat trip to Phi Phi Islands, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island, while the remaining time allows for a quieter stay in Phuket. The itinerary includes private transfers, guided sightseeing on selected days and group travel for the island excursion.
