Tips

If you have extra time, add a day in Krabi to visit the secluded Koh Lanta or extend your stay in Phuket for a sunrise trek to Khao Phra Thaeo National Park. To shorten the trip, skip the Phi Phi Islands and replace the Four Islands tour with a half‑day kayak adventure in Ao Nang, still capturing the region’s natural beauty while reducing travel time and costs.
