At a glance
This 13-day island-hopping itinerary covers Thailand’s Northern Andaman region, travelling from Phuket through Koh Phi Phi, on to Krabi, and finishing on the relaxed shores of Koh Lanta. It is designed to show the contrast between the country's best-known islands and allow you to explore Thailand your way.
The journey starts in Phuket, combining beach time with access to cultural sights and nearby coastal scenery.

From there, you travel by boat to Phi Phi, where the focus shifts to swimming, island exploration and staying directly on the beach.
Krabi follows, offering dramatic limestone landscapes, easy access to offshore islands and optional nature-based experiences inland.
The final stop in Koh Lanta is deliberately slower, with long beaches, fewer crowds and time to relax before departure.
Accommodation is pre-arranged at well-located luxury resorts, with private transfers and included excursions at key points along the route.
The itinerary balances sightseeing with free time and works particularly well for couples, honeymoons or travellers who want to experience several regions without constantly moving.
Day by day
This is a sample plan, not a fixed departure. Days can be added, removed or reordered, and almost every client changes something. Prices are an entry-level guide; your quote will be exact.
Days 1-4: Phuket
Your journey begins in Phuket, Thailand’s most iconic island destination. After arriving, you’ll settle into a design-led beachfront resort, where time slows immediately and the relaxed rhythm of island life soon becomes clear. The days here offer a gentle introduction to Thailand, combining relaxation with cultural depth.
One day is dedicated to exploring the dramatic limestone landscapes of Phang Nga Bay, gliding through emerald waters and hidden lagoons that feel untouched by time. Back on land, Phuket reveals its creative side through colourful Sino-Portuguese architecture, atmospheric old-town streets and an incredible culinary scene. The remainder of your stay is left deliberately unstructured, allowing space for spa rituals, private excursions or simply enjoying the beach at your own pace.
Days 5-7: Koh Phi Phi
From Phuket, you travel by boat to the postcard-perfect islands of Koh Phi Phi, where jungle-covered hills meet impossibly clear seas. Accessible only by water, your beachfront resort offers a sense of seclusion that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Days on Phi Phi centre around simplicity and ease. You might spend mornings swimming straight from the sand, afternoons exploring the islands by private longtail boat, and evenings watching the sky change colour over the Andaman Sea. With no pressure to be anywhere at any particular time, this is a destination designed for reconnecting – with nature, with each other, and with yourself.
Days 8-10: Krabi
Your next stop is Krabi, a region defined by soaring limestone cliffs, quiet beaches and lush jungle interiors. Staying at a refined beachfront resort, you’ll find Krabi offers a slightly more adventurous energy, without ever losing its sense of calm.
Here, days can be spent island-hopping through nearby archipelagos, soaking in natural hot springs hidden in the rainforest, or enjoying wellness experiences inspired by the surrounding landscape. Krabi also offers some of the most cinematic scenery in southern Thailand, making even a quiet day by the pool feel extraordinary.
Days 11-12: Koh Lanta
The final chapter of your journey unfolds on Koh Lanta, an island known for its laid-back atmosphere and long, unspoilt beaches. Life here moves gently, and the emphasis shifts fully to rest, reflection and indulgence.
You may choose to explore local fishing villages, take part in a Thai cooking experience, or simply spend your final days enjoying sunsets, spa treatments and the quiet luxury of having nowhere to be. Koh Lanta provides a fitting contrast to the earlier stops, offering space to fully unwind before your journey home.
Day 13: Departure
After breakfast, you’ll bid farewell to island life and transfer back to the mainland for your onward journey from Krabi Airport, carrying with you a collection of moments that feel both indulgent and deeply grounding.
Our Experts
Thailand is one of my favorite destinations and I've spent lots of time there. There is no shortage of luxury resorts for you to choose from, each with unique character and charm.
Having visited Thailand over eight times, I keep going back because the food, people, and culture always leave me wanting more. It’s a place that feels like home to me, and I love helping clients experience the magic of Thailand in their own way.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
