We love Thailand, mostly because we really love massages and green curry (but never at the same time). We also love islands, and Thailand has 1430 to choose from. You’ll be seeing some of the best on this Thainamic Thai tour. From the raw energy of Phuket, to the island outcrops of Koh Phi Phi, and rock climbing on Krabi’s limestone cliffs. Enjoy delicious local food, and soak up the culture. Thailand is waiting.&nbsp;

Our eight day Thai island adventure begins in Phuket, where we meet our fellow travellers. Time around the swimming pool will be high on the agenda.&nbsp;

Day 1: Arrive Phuket

The day is yours to spend in Phuket. We’d recommend wandering around the historic streets of Old Phuket Town, admiring the Chinese -influenced local architecture. In the evening we’ll head for the bright lights of Bangla Road and check out a cabaret show.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Day 2: Phuket

Phuket:
After a lazy breakfast we will set sail on the Andaman sea, heading to the exotic islands of Koh Phi Phi.&nbsp;
Koh Phi Phi
These are some of the most beautiful islands of Thailand, six tropical outcrops surrounded by fine white sand and turquoise waters. They became famous for their natural beauty when Maya Bay, one of its most beautiful inlets, starred in the movie The Beach. We’ll dine on khao yam while watching the sunset from Koh Phi Phi's highest point.

Day 3: Phuket To Koh Phi Phi

Spend the day at your own pace. Wander the beaches where wild monkeys play, or take advantage of our Day on the Bay free time add-on, for the perfect mix of island hopping, swimming and relaxing.&nbsp;

Day 4: Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi:
Although we're leaving Kho Phi Phi and heading to mainland Thailand today, our salty seadog spirit won't change a bit. The exotic paradise of Krabi is calling our names, and who are we to resist...
Krabi
This afternoon we'll soak in the small town feels of Ao Nang. Friendly locals, massage haunts, local markets and seaside cocktails can perfect your day like kaffir lime to a mojito.

Day 5: Koh Phi Phi to Krabi

Day 6: Krabi

You have a full free day to make the most of everything Krabi has to offer; from exploring the giant rainforest-covered boulders of Phi Phi, to relaxing on Railay Beach, or taking advantage of an optional rock climbing session.&nbsp;

Day 7: Krabi

After a relaxing morning we catch a coach back to Phuket, then take our transfer either to the airport or back to our start hotel.
