At a glance
Phuket and Krabi are beach and island destinations in southern Thailand, and most trips combine the two. Phuket has the island's main resort area at Patong, the historic streets of Old Phuket Town and the hilltop Big Buddha. Krabi is built around Ao Nang and Railay Beach, and the Four Islands boat route starts from there. Phuket and Krabi are connected by road, so a combined trip uses scheduled transfers between the two.
Direct services to Phuket run from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, with flight times of about four and a half hours. Schedules and operating airlines can change, so check them when you plan. Five days covers the main highlights in a practical way, with a Phuket base, one island excursion and a short Krabi stay. Seven days is the more relaxed choice, because it leaves room for the Four Islands and a weather buffer.
Our two current packages show how a trip can be shaped. Krabi Four Islands 3N suits a short Krabi stay with Railay Beach and the Four Islands route. Phuket Beach Break 4N suits beach time on Phuket with a Phi Phi Islands boat day and a visit to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong. Both are land-only, with breakfast daily and visa assistance included.

Season guide
November to March is the most suitable period, with lower rainfall and sea conditions that suit island trips. January and February are hot and mostly dry, but they are also the high season, with heavier crowds. Rainfall peaks from May to October, reaching its highest in September, when crowds are lower and boat days are harder to plan. November and March are good shoulder months. See the month-by-month details in when to visit Phuket and Krabi.
Day by day
Based on our Krabi Four Islands 3N package. Your trip expert can stretch or shorten any day.
Arrive in Krabi and transfer to your hotel in Ao Nang, the practical base for beaches, restaurants and boat trips. Check in and rest after the journey. In the evening, walk the main road to find restaurants and boat-ticket offices, which makes booking the next day's boat trip easier. Keep the first day light.
Take a boat from Ao Nang for the Four Islands route, which links Tup Island, Chicken Island, Poda Island and nearby snorkelling or beach stops. Tides affect the sandbar between islands, so your operator will confirm the timing for the day. Pack sunscreen, a towel and a dry bag, and drink plenty of water during the stops.
Take a boat to Railay Beach for beaches, limestone cliffs and climbing areas. Protect your luggage from spray during the beach landing. In the afternoon, rest in Ao Nang or, if the schedule allows, visit Emerald Pool and Hot Spring inland. The forest path to the pool can be slippery after rain, so wear shoes with grip.
Enjoy breakfast and check out. Your transfer takes you to Krabi airport for your flight. If your flight is in the afternoon, use the morning for a last walk along the Ao Nang beach front or a final meal. Allow time for the transfer and check-in.
Budget guide
Four things shape the cost of a Phuket and Krabi trip: the hotel area and category, the number of nights, the season and the boat excursions you choose. Stays in luxury areas such as Surin or Bang Tao cost more than standard hotels in Kata or Karon. Flights are not included in our packages. Read Phuket and Krabi trip cost for how to compare quotes.
