We kicked off our journey from kolkata,its a 4 hour flight. Landed in suvarnabhumi airport at early morning 4, the first thing we did was to buy a SIM,it costed around 299 Bhats.

Day 1: Bangkok

Had a power nap for few hours, stored our luggage @ Aiport Luggae storage charged 75Bhats/bag. Quickly boarded an UBER to chatuchak market, we were trying to be resilient from the scoarching sun. Everyoone must try thr peeled cocunut. The market is filled with diverse group of stalls. After three hours of roasting we headed back to airport.

Borded a bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Don Mueang Airport, which was 45 mins ride and free of cost. Landed at Phuket International Airport late evening, we booked a shared cab to the main city(Bangla Street) they charged 125 bhats /head.

James Bond Island is named after a James bond movie shooting , its a small island which might take 20mins to cover. I must say Kaying was one of the best thing I tried in the trip. Saling under the caves was astonishing. We were dropped at the hostel by evening.
