Itinerary
8 days of exotic lands and those much hyped perfect Thai beaches sit ahead of us. The high-on-life vibes will be inevitable as we join forces in Phuket. We'll start getting acquainted after our 6pm kickstart and allow ourselves to start slipping into island time. The bright lights and wild antics of Bangla Road can take things up a notch this evening!
Phuket, Thailand
Phuket is both an island province in Thailand and the most populous city on that island. The region holds many great attractions, but the biggest draw are the area's impeccable beaches.
Well good morning explorers, it's your first full day so time to get movin' and shakin'. Choose to spend some of the day with rescued elephants at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary or if you'd rather, take to Phuket Town and admire the Chinese influenced local architecture - swing high or lay low, the choice is entirely yours. Then, with a free evening ahead, why not treat yourself to a relaxing massage, dive into the buzzing street food markets, or stock up on any last-minute essentials before we set our sights on Phi Phi tomorrow.

It’s an early start today, so grab a quick breakfast before we set off for the Andaman Sea in search of one very famous beach. Next on the agenda: turquoise waters, island scenery and the journey to one of Thailand’s most iconic destinations. Arriving in Koh Phi Phi feels like stepping into a postcard. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and bright blue waters, this island paradise is home for the next few days. Spend your time exploring the coastline, sampling local favourites like khao yam, or simply soaking up the atmosphere. Then, as evening rolls in, we'll head out for a sunset hike to Koh Phi Phi’s highest vantage point. With sweeping island views and golden-hour colours, it’s a moment you won’t forget.
Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
This group of islands off the coast of Thailand can only be reached by taking boats from the mainland. The islands are shaped by the large limestone rocks that form their coastlines.
The island is your playground and the day is yours to do whatever your heart desires. We're recommending our Day on the Bay Free Time Add-On - the perfect mix of island hopping, swimming and chillaxing. Afterwards, squeeze in one last beachside stroll with the flickering island lights as your backdrop, soaking up the island sounds and Pad Thai smells... this is what we call living.

Although we're leaving Koh Phi Phi and heading to mainland Thailand today, our sun-kissed spirit won't change a bit. Enjoy a slow morning on the island before we jump on a ferry to the exotic paradise of Krabi. After checking into our hotel in Ao Nang we'll get the evening started. Tonight, join an optional Krabi food tour and taste your way through the region’s best bites, from street food favourites to local hidden hangouts. Foodies, this one’s for you.

Payment for Free Time Add-Ons can only be made in cash, using the local currency - Thai Baht. You can check out the prices on the trip page of the website. Payment will generally be collected on night one after kickstart. Please note: Contiki FTAs may vary due to seasonal conditions & often require minimum guest participation to operate.

Phuket: We’ll aim for you to arrive back in Phuket by early afternoon on the final day. Just one catch - Thai traffic is notoriously slow, so this is dependent on traffic conditions.

Let your Trip Manager know on Day 1 so they can help you out.
