Thailand Explorer — Phuket, Krabi, Pattaya & Bangkok
The whole country in ten days — Big Buddha to Maya Bay, Four Islands to Alcazar, Coral Island to Chinatown.
Our Most Complete Thailand Itinerary
Four Cities, Every Island Tour, One Unforgettable Trip
If you only ever take one trip to Thailand, this is the itinerary built to make sure you don't miss anything. Ten days takes you from Phuket's temples and viewpoints, through Phi Phi's speedboat-only coastline and Krabi's Four Islands, across to Pattaya for Coral Island and the Alcazar Show, and finally into Bangkok for Golden Buddha, Chinatown and a full day at Safari World. It's the same scope as our 7-Day Thailand Grand Tour, simply extended to fit in Krabi as well.
This is consistently one of our best-selling Thailand packages — it's priced the same as the 7-day Grand Tour, but covers an extra city and three additional island and cultural experiences for the same starting price.
Package Highlights
Best-Selling Thailand Package
Four cities, six island and cultural tours, and nine nights of hotels — all from USD 1,460 per person, the same starting price as our shorter 7-day Grand Tour.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1Arrival in Phuket
A private transfer meets you at the airport and takes you straight to your hotel — the easiest possible start to a ten-day trip. Check in, then rest before the sightseeing begins tomorrow.
Meals: None
Day 2Phuket City Tour
A half-day guided tour: the towering Big Buddha, the temple grounds at Wat Chalong, and the panoramic Karon Viewpoint. A wander through Old Phuket Town's colourful colonial shophouses and a stop at a local cashew nut factory round it off.
Meals: None
Day 3Phi Phi Island Tour
A full-day speedboat tour taking in Maya Bay, the limestone cliffs and bat colony at Viking Cave, and Monkey Beach, with plenty of time for snorkeling and swimming. Lunch is served at Phi Phi Don before the return crossing to Phuket.
Meals: Lunch
Phi Phi's Maya Bay and Krabi's Four Islands — two of the trip's standout days, back to back
Day 4Phuket → Krabi Transfer
A deliberately quiet day after two fairly full ones on the water. Transfer to your Krabi hotel and use the rest of the day to explore Krabi Town at your own pace before tomorrow's Four Islands tour.

A speedboat tour between Poda, Chicken, and Tup Islands, plus Phra Nang Cave — each stop offering swimming, snorkeling and beach time. Lunch is included on the tour.

A travel day that covers real distance, but the evening makes it worthwhile. After hotel check-in, the Alcazar Cabaret Show closes out the day with elaborate costumes and big production numbers.

Day 7Coral Island Tour — Pattaya
A speedboat ride out to Koh Larn for a day of beach relaxation, with optional water sports for anyone who wants more than swimming and sunbathing. An Indian lunch is served on the island.

Bangkok's Golden Buddha and the colour and noise of Chinatown — the final city on the route

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this 10-day package cost the same as your 7-day Grand Tour?
Both share a starting price of USD 1,460, but this one adds Krabi and an extra two days of touring. It's effectively more holiday for the same headline price, part of why it's one of our best-selling Thailand packages.
Are national park fees for Phi Phi and Krabi really not included?
Correct — national park entrance fees are charged locally and aren't part of the package price. Our team can advise on the approximate cost at booking.
Is this a shared or private tour?
Sightseeing tours and island excursions run on a shared basis. For a fully private experience, see our Phuket, Phi Phi & Krabi Escape.
Can we do a shorter version of this same route?
Yes — our 7-Day Thailand Grand Tour covers Pattaya, Bangkok and Phuket without the Krabi extension.
