Speedboats in green water off Coral Island, Pattaya

Thailand · 4 nights, 5 days

Pattaya & Bangkok Family Break

Pattaya to Bangkok

About this trip

Two nights by the sea in Pattaya, then two in Bangkok. Coral Island, a city tour, Safari World on the drive to Bangkok, the temples and a dinner cruise on the river.

One of our Thailand tour packages from Kerala. Flights quoted from your city.

Who this version is for

A first trip to Thailand for families, at a gentle pace and good any time of year. November to February is the coolest. Pattaya comes first, so your last day is only 45 min from Bangkok airport. Safari World is closed on Mondays; if your day 3 falls on one, we swap in Nong Nooch and Dream World. Two nights in Hua Hin or Khao Yai can be added.

Going from Kerala

Bangkok has non-stop flights from Kochi, about four hours, landing at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang depending on the airline. Phuket and Krabi are one change away, usually in Bangkok.

The Christmas break is the best time: cool, dry and sunny on the Phuket side, with Samui drying out after its rains. In the April–May summer break it is hot, and fine for the pool and the sea. The Onam break falls in the monsoon: green and fresh, wetter on the Phuket side, with lower prices.

From our travellers

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.
