Arrive at Phuket (flight arrival time varies) and transfer to Patong; if your room isn't available you can store luggage at The Gig — most hotels offer luggage storage and concierge services throughout the day.
If you want to freshen up before dinner, nearby day spas offer short Thai massages and showers — many open 10:00am–10:00pm and accept walk-ins but better to pre-book if busy.
Check into The Gig at 8:00pm as requested; if your flight/time-of-arrival made earlier check-in impossible this is the time to access your room, settle in and confirm any tours for the week.

Visit highlights like Island No.4 and No.8 for snorkelling, short walks and iconic beaches; access and permitted landing areas are set by park rules so itineraries vary.
Depart the Similans mid-afternoon for the return trip; arrival on the mainland is typically late afternoon to early evening depending on pier and traffic.
Leisurely breakfast and relaxation by the pool to recover from the Similan trip; hotel breakfast hours commonly 7:00am–10:30am, pools usually open from early morning until early evening.
