Phuket Extension

Explore a Jewel Set in the Andaman Sea

Day 1
Bangkok / Phuket

From Bangkok, fly to Phuket, the “Pearl of the Andaman.” You will be met and transferred to your beachside hotel, with the remainder of the day at leisure.

Day 2
Phang Nga Bay National Marine Park

On a group tour, journey by boat into the breathtakingly beautiful seascapes of Phang Nga Bay National Marine Park, known for its 300 soaring limestone islets set in the Andaman Sea. Upon arrival, hop aboard sea canoes (a kind of kayak) to explore the hidden sea caves, sea tunnels, lagoons, and hongs (rooms) formed throughout the rocky limestone islands. Return to the boat for a buffet lunch, then return to your hotel in the afternoon.

Day 3
Phuket

Enjoy a half-day private sightseeing tour of Phuket, including century-old Wat Chalong, Phuket’s largest temple, with its gold-leafed statues and painted walls depicting scenes in the life of Buddha, a cashew nut factory, local handicraft outlet, and panoramas of the town from atop Rang Hill

Day 4
Bangkok / Depart

Morning at leisure. Transfer to the airport and fly to Bangkok to connect with homeward-bound flights (or additional extension options).
