Thailand Packages by Destination

Bangkok + Pattaya Packages The most affordable range and the standard first-timer combination — Bangkok’s temples and markets paired with Pattaya’s beaches, about a 2-hour drive apart.

Phuket + Krabi Packages Built for island hopping — Phi Phi Island, James Bond Island, Railay Beach — with options ranging from a quick 5-night escape to an 11-night Grand Tour.

Bangkok + Phuket + Krabi Packages The full circuit — city, culture and islands together. A popular choice for families and couples comparing the full range of what Thailand offers in one trip.

Koh Samui Packages Adds Koh Samui — further out and generally quieter than Phuket — to the standard Phuket-Krabi combination.

Chiang Mai Packages Our only packages that head north instead of south — temples, hill culture and elephant sanctuary visits instead of beaches. A good option for travellers who’ve already done an island-focused Thailand trip and want something different.

Places to Visit in Thailand

Bangkok

Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew The former royal residence and Thailand’s most visited landmark. Wat Phra Kaew, inside the palace complex, houses the Emerald Buddha — Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist image, carved from a single block of jade. Mornings tend to be cooler and less crowded than afternoons. A strict dress code applies: shoulders and knees must be covered, and sarongs are available to rent at the entrance if needed.

Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) Sits on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, directly across from the older part of the city. Its central spire is decorated with porcelain fragments that catch the light dramatically at sunset, which is the best time to view it  either from the temple grounds or from a riverside restaurant on the opposite bank.

Wat Pho Located right beside the Grand Palace, home to a 46-metre reclining Buddha covered in gold leaf. Wat Pho is also considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and an on-site massage school still operates today a good stop if you want an authentic Thai massage rather than a tourist-oriented spa.

Chatuchak Weekend Market One of the largest markets in the world, with thousands of stalls spread across more than 20 sections clothing, antiques, home decor, pets, and food. Only open Saturdays and Sundays, so it’s worth checking your itinerary dates if this is a priority. Go early to beat both the heat and the crowds.

Chao Phraya River Cruise A common evening activity, usually paired with dinner. Cruises pass illuminated temples and bridges along the river and are a relaxed way to see the city after a day of sightseeing.

Asiatique The Riverfront A riverside night market built in a converted warehouse district, with shopping, restaurants, and a large Ferris wheel offering skyline views. Reachable by a free shuttle boat from the BTS Skytrain’s Saphan Taksin station.

Pattaya

Coral Island (Koh Larn) A roughly 30-45 minute speedboat ride from Pattaya’s Bali Hai Pier. The island has several beaches with clear water, and is a common base for parasailing, jet skiing, and snorkelling day trips.

Walking Street Pattaya’s main nightlife strip, closed to traffic in the evenings and lined with bars, restaurants and clubs. It’s the liveliest part of Pattaya after dark and a standard stop on evening itineraries.

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden A large botanical garden about 20 minutes outside the city, known for its cultural shows (traditional dance, elephant performances) and landscaped gardens. Usually a half-day excursion.

Sanctuary of Truth An entirely wooden structure built without a single nail, covered in intricate carvings depicting Thai mythology and Buddhist philosophy. Still under construction after decades, and one of Pattaya’s more unusual sightseeing stops.

Phuket

Patong Beach Phuket’s main beach and the centre of its nightlife, shopping and restaurant scene. The busiest and most developed of Phuket’s beaches, good for travellers who want everything within walking distance.

Phi Phi Island Reached by speedboat or ferry from Phuket, typically as a full-day tour. Known for Maya Bay’s dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise water, and for the wider marine park around it that’s popular for snorkelling.

Big Buddha Phuket A 45-metre white marble statue sitting on a hilltop in the south of the island, with panoramic views across Phuket. Free to visit, with a modest dress code in place.

Old Phuket Town Sino-Portuguese shophouse architecture, street art, and a noticeably different pace from the beach areas. A good half-day break if you want something other than sand and sea, especially for the Sunday Walking Street market.

Krabi

Railay Beach A peninsula accessible only by longtail boat from Ao Nang or Krabi town, since limestone cliffs cut it off from the road network. Popular for rock climbing as well as its beaches.

James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan) A limestone outcrop in Phang Nga Bay, made famous by a 1974 Bond film, and typically visited as part of a full-day Phang Nga Bay boat tour that also covers sea caves and floating villages.

Four Islands Tour A standard full-day boat trip covering four of Krabi’s best-known islands, usually including snorkelling stops and a beach lunch.

Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) A working Buddhist temple with a viewpoint reached by climbing 1,237 steps. The climb is steep but the summit view over Krabi’s limestone landscape is one of the region’s best.

Koh Samui

Chaweng and Lamai Beaches Samui’s two main beach areas Chaweng is the livelier, more developed strip with restaurants and nightlife; Lamai is quieter and better suited to travellers wanting a more relaxed base.

Big Buddha Temple Samui’s own hilltop Buddha statue, a common short stop given its proximity to the airport.

Fisherman’s Village, Bophut A restored old fishing village with a walking street, seafood restaurants and a weekly night market a good evening option away from the main Chaweng strip.

Chiang Mai

Doi Suthep Temple A hilltop temple with sweeping views over Chiang Mai, reached by a winding mountain road and a final staircase flanked by naga serpent balustrades.

Elephant Nature Park An ethical, no-riding sanctuary where elephants rescued from tourism and logging work are cared for. Visits typically involve feeding and bathing elephants rather than riding them — worth specifically seeking out over riding camps.

Old City Night Bazaar Chiang Mai’s night market, known for local handicrafts, textiles and northern Thai street food, generally more low-key than Bangkok’s markets.

Things to Do in Thailand

Island hopping The single most-booked activity across our Phuket and Krabi packages. Speedboat tours typically cover 3-4 islands or bays in a day Phi Phi, James Bond Island, and the Four Islands route in Krabi are the most common with stops for snorkelling and a beach lunch included. Mornings depart early, around 8-9 AM, to make the most of calmer seas before afternoon winds pick up.

Thai cooking class Half-day classes are widely available in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Most start with a visit to a local market to pick ingredients, followed by hands-on cooking of 3-4 classic dishes (usually pad Thai, tom yum, and a Thai curry) under a local chef’s guidance. A good activity for families and a genuinely useful souvenir you leave with recipes, not just photos.

Night market food walks Every major Thai city has at least one significant night market, and street food is a real part of the experience rather than a fallback option. Expect grilled skewers, mango sticky rice, pad Thai cooked fresh at the stall, and fruit shakes. Bangkok’s Chinatown (Yaowarat) and Chiang Mai’s night bazaar are particularly known for this.

Snorkelling and diving The Andaman Sea around Krabi and Phuket has accessible reef diving suitable for complete beginners, with several dive schools offering short introductory sessions alongside full certification courses. Visibility and conditions are best November through April.

Muay Thai show Evening Muay Thai (Thai boxing) shows are commonly added to Bangkok or Pattaya itineraries a mix of genuine matches and entertainment-oriented shows depending on the venue. A good option for an evening activity that isn’t a market or a bar.

Elephant sanctuary visits Specifically seek out no-riding, ethical sanctuaries — these focus on rescued elephants and structure visits around feeding, bathing and observing natural behaviour rather than riding. Chiang Mai has the highest concentration of these ethical operators.

Floating market visits Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa, both a couple of hours from Bangkok, are the two most visited floating markets vendors sell food and produce from wooden boats along narrow canals. Usually a half-day trip, best done early morning before it gets crowded and hot.

Spa and massage Thai massage, foot massage and full spa treatments are widely available and priced well below what the same service would cost in India or the West. A single relaxed spa afternoon is a common way to break up an otherwise activity-packed itinerary.

Rock climbing Railay Beach in Krabi is one of Southeast Asia’s known rock climbing destinations, with routes suitable for complete beginners through experienced climbers, and several schools offering half-day introductory sessions with equipment included.

Visa Requirements for Indian Travellers

Thailand’s entry rules for Indian passport holders have changed more than once in the past year, so treat any specific day-count you see elsewhere with some caution. What has stayed consistent:

• Indian travellers do not need to apply for a visa in advance for short tourist trips, though the exact visa-free duration has been revised recently
• The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is a mandatory online form that must be completed shortly before arrival, for all travellers regardless of visa type
• Passports should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival
• Proof of onward/return travel may be requested at immigration

Because these rules are actively changing, please contact our travel team for the current entry requirement before you book flights we’ll confirm the latest applicable policy for your travel dates.

Best Time to Visit Thailand

Thailand’s weather isn’t uniform across the country the Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi) and the Gulf coast (Koh Samui) follow different rain patterns, even though they’re both “islands” on a map. Knowing this difference actually matters when picking your travel dates.

November to February — Cool, Dry Season (Best Overall) The most reliable weather across Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Krabi daytime temperatures around 29-31°C, low rainfall, and comfortable evenings. This is peak tourist season, so book at least 4-6 weeks ahead and expect higher hotel rates. December and January are the busiest months of the year, especially around Christmas and New Year.

March to May — Hot Season Temperatures climb noticeably, often into the mid-30s°C, especially in Bangkok. This is still a good window for a beach-focused Phuket or Krabi trip since the heat is more bearable near the coast, and crowds and prices both drop compared to peak season. April includes Songkran (Thai New Year, mid-April), a country-wide water festival worth experiencing if your dates align, though it also means some businesses close and cities get busy with local travellers.

June to October — Southwest Monsoon This is where the regional split matters most:

• Phuket and Krabi (Andaman coast) see their wettest, roughest sea conditions during this window, with September typically the peak of the rain. Boat trips and island hopping can be disrupted on bad-weather days.
• Koh Samui (Gulf coast) is in a rain shadow during this same period and often has some of its best weather of the year sunny, warm, and good sea conditions before its own shorter wet season sets in from October to December.
• Bangkok gets regular but short afternoon downpours rather than all-day rain, so city sightseeing is rarely disrupted for long.

Practical takeaway: If your trip is Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket or Krabi-focused, aim for November to February for the most reliable weather. If you’re specifically travelling June to September and want beach weather, a Koh Samui-based package is the better bet than Phuket or Krabi during that window.

How to Reach Thailand from India

By Air Thailand is one of the fastest international destinations to reach from India, with direct flight time of roughly 4-5 hours from most major Indian cities.

• Bangkok has two airports: Suvarnabhumi (the main international hub, used by most full-service airlines) and Don Mueang (used mainly by budget carriers). Check which airport your flight lands at, since transfers are arranged accordingly.
• Phuket International Airport has direct flights from several Indian cities, useful if your package is Phuket-focused and you’d rather skip a Bangkok stopover.
• Direct flights run from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Hyderabad, operated by a mix of Indian carriers (Air India, IndiGo) and Thai carriers (Thai Airways). Smaller cities typically connect via one of these hub airports.

Airport to City from Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok’s city centre is roughly 45 minutes to an hour by road depending on traffic, or a similar duration via the Airport Rail Link into the BTS Skytrain network. Private transfers are the standard arrangement on most package tours, so this is generally handled without you needing to arrange anything.

Connecting to the Islands If your itinerary covers Phuket, Krabi or Koh Samui after Bangkok, this leg is usually covered either by a short domestic flight (around 1-1.5 hours from Bangkok) or, for Pattaya specifically, a road transfer of about 2 hours since it’s close enough to Bangkok not to need a flight. Multi-destination packages are built around these connections already, so the routing is handled as part of the itinerary rather than something you need to plan separately.

Immigration on Arrival Keep your hotel booking confirmation, return flight details, and any other documents required for your entry category accessible on arrival, since immigration officers may ask to see them. Processing time varies with how busy the airport is at your arrival time — flights landing late evening or early morning at Suvarnabhumi tend to see longer queues.

Currency and Money in Thailand

• Currency: Thai Baht (THB)
• Carry a mix of cash and card — street food stalls, tuk-tuks and smaller markets are often cash-only
• ATM withdrawals attract a foreign transaction fee, so fewer, larger withdrawals are usually more economical than frequent small ones
• Currency exchange counters in city malls generally offer better rates than airport counters
• Tipping isn’t mandatory but is common practice for drivers, guides and hotel staff

Getting Around Thailand

Within Bangkok the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are the fastest way to move around the city and avoid road traffic, which can be heavy during peak hours. Both systems cover most major tourist areas, hotels and malls. For areas not covered by rail, the Grab app (Southeast Asia’s equivalent of Uber) is the most predictable option fares are shown upfront, avoiding the negotiation that comes with hailing a tuk-tuk or taxi directly.

Between Cities and Islands

• Bangkok to Pattaya — around 2 hours by road, handled by private transfer on most packages
• Bangkok to Phuket or Krabi — around 1-1.5 hours by domestic flight, the standard way to move between the city leg and island leg of a longer itinerary
• Phuket to Krabi — around 2-3 hours by road/ferry combination, or a short domestic flight

On the Islands Songthaews (shared pickup trucks) and taxis handle most short trips around Phuket and Krabi. For island-hopping day trips, ferries and speedboats are the standard transport, generally departing from a main pier in the morning and returning by late afternoon.

In Chiang Mai Songthaews are the most common local transport, along with Grab. The Old City is compact enough to explore on foot for much of a day’s sightseeing.

Food in Thailand

Expect pad Thai, tom yum soup, Thai curries, mango sticky rice, and extensive street food at night markets across the country. Most tourist-area restaurants can accommodate vegetarian requests, and Indian restaurants are common in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket.

What to Pack for Thailand
