This is an ideal itinerary for those who wish to visit Phuket & Krabi Islands.

We were 4 people who managed to complete this trip. This helped us to share the transfer fees and Cab expenses which are exorbitantly high in the southern part of Thailand.

While planning the trip, I had a budget in mind for this trip which was Rs. 48,000 per person. However, we managed to do this trip in Rs. 51,000 per person.

This includes Flights, Hotels, Activities, Meals, Sim Card and Travel Insurance

Day 1

We boarded the Go Air Direct flight from Mumbai to Phuket - travel time - 4.5 hours

Reached Phuket Airport around 7:30 am (IndoChina Time)

Took 3 hours to get out of the airport as there was a long queue in immigration.. Try Express entry - 200 Baht to be paid per person (Rs. 450) for priority arrival service..

Had already booked the Airport transfer through Andaman Thai Travel from Phuket to Krabi (Ao Nang)

We had asked for two stops while going from Phuket Airport to Krabi on the booking page itself.. However, the driver did not stop at the designated stops and was kinda rude too.. But the price which we paid for the transfer was similar to a public transport transfer.. Hence, we did not argue with the driver..

We stayed at Jin Two Villas (Ao Nang) - 4 Kms from Ao Nang beach..

Day 3

We did the Four islands day tour from Nang An Tour by Longtail boat

Places visited - Phra Nang Beach, Tup Island, Poda Island and Chicken Island.. Poda and Tup Island are popular because KNPH was shot here..

This island day tour can be avoided as they give you only 30 mins time on each island.. Instead try emerald pool, tiger cave tour which we didn't do..
