1. Day 1 Bangkok

   Arrive, Golden Buddha and Wat Pho.

   Welcome to Thailand. Indian travellers can get a visa on arrival, and must fill in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online before landing. Our driver meets you at Bangkok airport for a private transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon, enjoy a guided tour of Wat Traimit with its solid gold Buddha and Wat Pho with its giant reclining Buddha, with a view of the Grand Palace. In the evening, explore street food in Chinatown, or take a Chao Phraya dinner cruise at extra cost. Overnight in Bangkok.

2. Day 2 Krabi

   Fly to Krabi, Ao Nang sunset.

   Fly from Bangkok to Krabi, about one hour and fifteen minutes, on Thailand's Andaman coast. Our driver meets you for the transfer to your hotel in Ao Nang. Krabi is famous for tall limestone cliffs rising from the sea, white beaches and clear water. Spend the afternoon on the beach, then watch a beautiful sunset over the islands from Ao Nang beach. Enjoy fresh seafood or Thai curries for dinner. Krabi's beaches are best from November to April. Overnight in Krabi.

3. Day 3 Krabi

   Free day or four-island tour.

   A free day in Krabi, or join the popular four-island tour by longtail boat at extra cost. Visit Phra Nang Cave Beach at Railay, Chicken Island, shaped like a chicken's head, and Tup Island, where a sandbar appears at low tide connecting it to its neighbours. Swim and snorkel in the clear water. Alternatively, relax at your hotel pool or book a Thai massage. Carry water shoes, sunscreen and a dry bag for your phone, as the longtail boats can be splashy. Overnight in Krabi.

4. Day 4 Koh Samui

   Travel to Koh Samui.

   Travel from Krabi to Koh Samui, by a short flight or by road and ferry via Don Sak, a journey of a few hours. Our team meets you and takes you to your resort. Koh Samui is a tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand, with palm-fringed beaches and calm water. Spend the afternoon on Chaweng or Lamai beach, and watch the sunset over the sea. Koh Samui's beaches are calm and shallow, ideal for families and couples who like to swim. Overnight in Koh Samui.

5. Day 5 Koh Samui

   Big Buddha, markets and waterfalls.

   Explore Koh Samui. Visit Wat Phra Yai, the Big Buddha temple, with its 12-metre golden statue on a small island linked by a causeway, and Wat Plai Laem nearby. Walk to the Na Muang waterfalls in the island's green interior, and see the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rock formations. In the evening, visit the Fisherman's Village in Bophut, with its walking street market on Friday nights. Dress modestly at temples, covering shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering. Overnight in Koh Samui.

6. Day 6 Bangkok

   Fly back to Bangkok.

   Fly from Koh Samui back to Bangkok, about one hour. Our driver meets you and takes you to your hotel. Spend the afternoon shopping at MBK, Siam Paragon or the Pratunam market, or relax with a Thai massage. In the evening, visit Asiatique, a riverside night market with shops, restaurants and a big wheel, or a rooftop bar for views over the city lights. Bangkok's BTS Skytrain is the quickest way to beat the traffic between the malls and markets. Overnight in Bangkok.

7. Day 7 Bangkok

   Departure.

   After breakfast, check out of your hotel. Depending on your flight time, enjoy some last shopping for Thai silk, spices or snacks. Our driver transfers you to Suvarnabhumi airport for your flight home. Please reach three hours before departure and claim VAT refunds on eligible purchases before check-in. Pack Thai snacks and silk carefully in your checked luggage, and keep your visa on arrival receipt and passport handy. Your Thailand holiday ends here, with memories of golden temples, limestone cliffs and island sunsets.
