Phuket in 5 Days: Phi Phi, Fantasea, Sunset Cruise & Old Town
What's Included for You
Day-by-Day Breakdown
Welcome to Phuket. Your driver meets you at the airport and takes you by private car to your hotel in Patong, about an hour, to check in and freshen up. Patong is the island's busiest beach town, so food, shopping and the beach are all close at hand for the next four nights.
In the afternoon you head to Tiger Kingdom to see the tigers up close and take photos with them, with a private return transfer. The evening is the big one: Phuket FantaSea, a large cultural theme park in Kamala, where a buffet dinner is followed by a stage show of Thai legend, acrobatics and special effects. It is late and lively, and children usually love it.

Today is Phuket's classic island day. You are picked up from the hotel in the morning and travel by big boat (economy class) to the Phi Phi Islands, famous for clear water, white beaches and limestone cliffs. The big boat is steadier than a speedboat, which helps if anyone in the family gets seasick.
The stops include Maya Bay, the beach from the film The Beach, Loh Samah Bay and Pileh Lagoon, an almost enclosed pool of turquoise water inside the cliffs. There is time for swimming and snorkelling, and a buffet lunch is included on the island. You are back at the hotel by evening.

A slower day after the islands. The morning is yours: sleep in, take a long breakfast, swim in the hotel pool or walk down to Patong Beach. Lunch is on your own, and there is time for a Thai massage before you head out.
In the afternoon you are picked up for a sunset dinner cruise on a catamaran. As the boat sails along the coast, the light turns gold over the Andaman Sea, and a buffet dinner is served on board while the sun goes down. It is a relaxed, easy evening, good for couples and families alike, and you are dropped back at the hotel afterwards.

Note that the Big Buddha is not included in this tour.
In the afternoon you visit Aquaria Phuket, the island's largest aquarium, set inside a shopping mall, which makes it a cool, comfortable stop on a hot afternoon.

I'm extremely grateful to Bharathwaaj and the team at tour On for arranging an effortless and enjoyable trip to Thailand, covering Phuket, Krabi, and Bangkok. Their ability to adapt the itinerary to my schedule and the constant support provided made this trip special. The team's prompt responses, regular follow-ups, and reliable transportation arrangements were commendable. A standout aspect of this trip was the feeling of never being alone. The team was always available, offering a level of communication and responsiveness that is rare in the travel industry. The itinerary was meticulously followed, ensuring we didn't miss any planned activities. This level of service greatly contributed to our satisfaction and made our visit to Thailand truly memorable. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making this trip unforgettable. We are excited to plan more trips with tour On in the future.
Recently, we visited Thailand, (Phuket and Bangkok) for a 5-night and 6-day trip. The tour was planned by Tour On, and everything was well-organized. In Thailand, the hotels we stayed in and the private vehicles we used for transportation were all of great value. The tour operators in Thailand informed us about the next day's plan well in advance so we could plan accordingly. We covered all the must-see places in those two cities and enjoyed ourselves a lot. Thank you, tour On, for the well-organized trip.
