9 days • 8 nights • Thailand
The energy of Bangkok and its markets, then the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay from Phuket, and the beaches and four islands of Krabi.
A Thailand tour combines a vibrant big city with some of the most beautiful tropical islands in Asia. The 9-day Thailand tour begins in Bangkok with its palaces and markets, moves on to Phuket for island trips, and ends in calmer Krabi with its beaches and limestone rocks. Thailand is famous for its vast markets, its white-sand beaches and turquoise water, and the warm hospitality visitors feel everywhere.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Bangkok are available, and we arrange a short domestic flight to Phuket and then a road transfer to Krabi. The program suits newlyweds, friends and families, and we choose hotels in quiet areas close to halal restaurants and markets, with speedboat trips to the most beautiful islands. We leave enough free time for shopping and relaxing on the beach, and the program can be adjusted by adding Pattaya or reducing the tours to suit you.
Pick-up at Suvarnabhumi International Airport and transfer to the hotel. In the evening we visit Asiatique on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, with its shops, restaurants and Ferris wheel overlooking the river.
We visit the Grand Palace with its gilded buildings and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), then cross the river by boat to Wat Arun. In the afternoon we shop at ICONSIAM on the river, or in the Siam area and its major malls.
We head out in the morning to the Damnoen Saduak floating market, where vendors sell fruit and food from their wooden boats. We return to Bangkok at midday for free time in the markets, or to visit Safari World with the children (optional).
A short domestic flight to Phuket, then check in at the hotel. In the afternoon, an island tour that includes the Karon Viewpoint over its successive beaches, then watching the sunset from Promthep Cape.
A speedboat trip to the Phi Phi Islands: Pileh Lagoon with its turquoise water, the famous Maya Bay, and Viking Cave seen from the sea, with chances to snorkel and have lunch on Phi Phi Don. We return to Phuket in the afternoon.
A boat tour among the towering limestone rocks of Phang Nga Bay, with canoeing inside sea caves. We visit the famous James Bond Island and have lunch in the floating village of Koh Panyi, a Muslim fishing village built on stilts over the water.
We travel by road to Krabi in about three hours and check in at a hotel near Ao Nang Beach. In the afternoon there is free time on the beach among the limestone rocks, and in the evening a stroll through the markets and restaurants of Ao Nang.
A boat trip to the four islands: Phra Nang Cave Beach, Chicken Island, Tup Island, which is joined by a sandbar that appears at low tide, and Poda Island with its white beach. Plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling and photos.
Transfer to Krabi Airport for a domestic flight to Bangkok, and from there your return flight to Istanbul at the scheduled time. You can also depart from Phuket Airport if it suits your flight schedule better.
