Your Full Itinerary
Bangkok
One of Asia’s most thrilling capitals — ancient golden temples standing beside neon-lit night markets, tuk-tuks weaving through scented street food stalls, and the Chao Phraya River shimmering at dusk.
- 🏨 Villa De Khaosan by Chill or similar ★★★★
- 📍 Khaosan Road Area · Central Bangkok
- 🛏 Standard Room · Breakfast Included · 4 Nights
Villa De Khaosan by Chill or similar ★★★★
Ideally located in the vibrant Khaosan Road district — the beating heart of Bangkok’s backpacker and boutique scene — this stylish hotel puts you steps from the city’s most iconic streets, riverside temples, and the Grand Palace. A rooftop pool, contemporary rooms, and daily breakfast make it the perfect launchpad for four days of exploration.
Departure — Night on Board
Depart for Bangkok, Thailand
Your adventure begins at your home airport with an overnight flight to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Settle in, enjoy the journey, and let the excitement build for one of Southeast Asia’s most extraordinary destinations.
Arrival in Bangkok — Free Afternoon
🇹🇭
Discover Bangkok at Your Own Pace
Head to the buzzing Khaosan Road, explore the riverside Tha Tien market, watch monks receive alms at dawn, or dive straight into Bangkok’s legendary street food scene. The city rewards every kind of traveller.
Maeklong Railway Market & Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Maeklong Railway Market — The Umbrella Pull-Down Market
Transfer to Ban Na Kwang station and board a train to Maeklong, where one of the world’s most extraordinary markets sits directly on active railway tracks. As a train approaches, vendors retract their awnings in a fluid, choreographed spectacle — only to set up again moments later as if nothing happened. Famous locally as Talat Rom Hup, it’s packed with fresh seafood and local produce.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Made famous by a Bond film chase scene, the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a vivid tapestry of colourful wooden boats laden with tropical fruits, cooked dishes, and local wares. Drift along the narrow khlong canals, sample regional flavours, and experience Thailand’s most iconic waterway tradition.
Day 4
Grand Palace, Sacred Temples & Optional Michelin Street Food Tour
🛕
Included · Guided Walking Tour
Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho & Wat Arun
Begin at Wat Phra Kaew — Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist temple — set within the magnificent Grand Palace complex on Rattanakosin Island. Continue to Wat Pho to marvel at the 46-metre gilded Reclining Buddha, then cross the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, whose porcelain-studded spires rise dramatically above the waterfront at golden hour.

Day 5
Free Day in Bangkok — Optional Ayutthaya Historical Park Tour
Optional Add-On · Full Day
Ayutthaya Historical Park with Lunch
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and former capital of the Kingdom of Siam, Ayutthaya is an open-air museum of stunning proportions. Visit Wat Lokayasutha’s giant reclining Buddha, the ancient Grand Palace ruins at Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, and the iconic Wat Mahathat — where a stone Buddha head is forever embraced by the roots of a Bodhi tree. Includes lunch at a local Thai restaurant.
Or — Explore Bangkok Your Own Way
Spend the day roaming Chatuchak Weekend Market (one of the world’s largest), exploring the street art of Talat Noi, taking a longtail boat through Bangkok’s ancient khlong canals, or indulging in a traditional Thai massage before your flight south tomorrow.
Phuket & the Islands
Thailand’s largest island needs no introduction. Rainforested hills cascading to powdery white beaches, impossibly turquoise Andaman waters, and a string of island jewels — Phi Phi, Maya Bay, James Bond Island — all within reach by speedboat.
- 🏨 Sugar Marina Hotel – Surf or similar ★★★★
- 📍 Karon Beach · Phuket
- 🛏 Deluxe Room · Breakfast Included · 3 Nights
- ✈️ Domestic flight from Bangkok (included)
Sugar Marina Hotel – Surf or similar ★★★★
A beautifully designed boutique resort on the shores of Karon Beach — one of Phuket’s most beloved stretches of sand. Featuring a stunning outdoor pool, surf-inspired rooms with sea-view terraces, a beachside restaurant serving fresh Thai and international cuisine, and just minutes from Karon’s vibrant nightlife strip.
Bangkok → Phuket — Arrival & Free Afternoon
Bangkok to Phuket — Domestic Flight
Transfer to Bangkok airport for your short domestic flight south to Phuket International Airport. Upon arrival, a private transfer takes you directly to your beachside hotel. The rest of the afternoon is yours — lounge by the infinity pool, take your first dip in the Andaman Sea, or stroll along Karon Beach at sunset.
Settle In & Explore Phuket
Discover Phuket’s famous beach clubs, the colourful streets of Phuket Town, or the hilltop Big Buddha statue overlooking the island. The evenings come alive with fresh seafood barbecues, night markets, and rooftop bars under a sky full of stars.
Phi Phi Islands & Maya Bay — Full Day Speedboat Excursion
Phi Phi Islands, Pileh Lagoon & Maya Bay
Depart early from Leam Nga Pier by speedboat, stopping first at the breathtaking Pileh Lagoon — a hidden emerald cove ringed by sheer limestone cliffs where you can swim in waters of impossible clarity. Head to Phi Phi Don for a beachside lunch, then visit Monkey Beach for snorkelling alongside the island’s resident macaques. Cruise past Viking Cave before arriving at Maya Bay — made world-famous by the film The Beach — and end the day at the white sands of Khai Nai Island.
Free Day in Phuket — Optional James Bond Island
James Bond Island — Phang Nga Bay by Longtail Boat
Venture into Phang Nga Bay — one of Thailand’s most dramatic seascapes — where hundreds of limestone karsts erupt from emerald waters. The centrepiece is Khao Phing Kan, immortalised as James Bond Island in The Man with the Golden Gun. Glide through sea caves, visit the famous cave temple of Wat Suwan Khuha, and explore a traditional sea-gypsy village on stilts.
Or — Your Final Day of Freedom in Phuket
Spend your last full day as you please — a sunrise yoga session, hiring a scooter to discover hidden coves like Nai Harn or Freedom Beach, a traditional Thai cooking class, or simply settling into a sun lounger at Patong or Surin Beach with a fresh coconut in hand.
Phuket — Departure
Depart Phuket for Home
Enjoy a final Thai breakfast before your airport transfer from Phuket International. Nine days, two extraordinary cities, a constellation of tropical islands, and memories soaked in golden temple light and turquoise sea. This is Thailand through Voyex eyes — and it never gets old.
