Phuket Island Break

Phuket to Phi Phi Islands

About this trip

Two full island days and an easy arrival day, all from one Phuket hotel. Speed out to the Phi Phi Islands, then to James Bond Island, with two evening shows along the way.

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

Who this version is for

A long weekend for couples and small families who want the sea, not a city. Go between November and April, when the sea is calm. From May to October a speedboat day can be cancelled on a rough day, and we move you to the big boat. Ask for a flight home after 1 pm so your last morning is not lost. Two nights in Khao Lak, for the Similan Islands, can be added from mid-October to mid-May.

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.
