Bangkok and Phuket is the simplest way to see two sides of Thailand in one trip. Spend three nights in the capital, among gilded temples, river boats, rooftop bars and some of the best street food in Asia. Then take the short domestic flight south to Phuket for a week of Andaman Sea beaches, long breakfasts and warm evenings. It's a classic first trip to Thailand.
The city stop comes first, while you still have the energy for the Grand Palace, the river and the markets. Phuket then gives you a full week to unwind, with day trips to the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay or Phuket Old Town if you want them. We can change the hotels, the beach area and the number of nights to suit you.
The guide price is based on five-star hotels in both stops, bed and breakfast, with flights and transfers included.

Thailand's capital is loud, friendly and full of contrasts. See the Grand Palace and the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, cross the river to Wat Arun, and spend an evening in Chinatown's food stalls on Yaowarat Road.
Phuket is Thailand's largest island, with a long west coast of sandy bays facing the Andaman Sea. The north-west around Layan and Bang Tao is calmer than Patong, and it's close to the airport.

Prices checked October 2026. Prices change daily; your Travel Designer confirms today's live price before you book. Business class and regional airports on request.
