Thai Island Hopper West 8 Days

You’ve seen The Beach, dreamed about limestone islands, and craved Thai food since birth. You’re ready to see this paradise for yourself. We’ll take you from Phuket to Koh Phi-Phi to Krabi to experience island nightlife like nowhere else. Eight days of fascinating regions and gorgeous Thai beaches await us. The high-on-life vibes will be inescapable as we meet in Phuket, get acquainted, and slide into island time. Hotel hangs and pool time are planned.

Spend some time with rescued elephants at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary or explore Phuket Town’s Chinese-influenced architecture—swing high or lay low. Bangla Road’s brilliant lights and crazy activities can spice things up! Enjoy quiet mornings and some rays before heading to the Andaman Sea to find a famous beach.

Love and happiness will overwhelm you at Koh Phi Phi. A few days will be spent on this island, more beautiful than your dreams. Long salty days, balmy nights, and limitless ocean discoveries await. Try khao yam, a herb-filled rice salad with grated coconut, watch the sunset from Koh Phi Phi’s highest point, or walk along picture beaches with joyful monkeys. This evening will be memorable. Your island playground and day are yours to do what you choose. Our Day on the Bay Free Time Add-On is ideal for island hopping, swimming, and relaxing. After that, take one last coastal stroll under the island lights, taking up the island sounds and Pad Thai smells. This is life.

We’re leave Kho Phi Phi for mainland Thailand, but our salty seadog mentality won’t change. Who can resist Krabi’s exotic charm? We will enjoy Ao Nang’s little town vibes. Like kaffir lime to a mojito, friendly people, massage spots, markets, and seashore beverages can enhance your day.

After returning to Thailand, we’ll enjoy Krabi’s island views. We will also visit James Bond Island on a speed boat ride of Phang Nga Bay. After an adventure, we may relax with local markets, affordable massages, and sunset beverages. You’ll have all day to explore Krabi! Relax on Railay beach or try rock climbing. Join your crew for a sunset supper to cap the tour in style. After one final morning in paradise, we take the coach to Phuket to complete our adventure.

Your Trip Manager will usually collect payment on the first night. Keep in mind that availability and prices can change.
  • Phuket Departure Flights: We plan to be back in Phuket by early afternoon on the last day. However, Phuket traffic can be unpredictable, so please book flights departing after 2:30 PM. For earlier flights, you’ll need to arrange your own airport transfer. Let your Trip Manager know on Day 1.
