Package overview
This 10-day circuit opens with three nights in Phuket, including the Phuket Fantasea night show and a full-day Phi Phi Islands boat trip, before a domestic flight to Bangkok and an overland transfer to Hua Hin for three nights centred on Pa-La-U Waterfall. The final three nights in Bangkok cover temple sightseeing, a Chao Phraya dinner cruise and Safari World.
Unlike the all-overland Hua Hin–Pattaya–Bangkok circuit, this route uses one Phuket–Bangkok flight to reach the Andaman coast, which suits agents whose clients specifically want Phuket's islands and beaches rather than Pattaya's nightlife-driven entertainment. The three even three-night blocks keep the pace steady rather than rushed, with one clear travel day between each base.

Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Phuket, evening Phuket Fantasea show
After arriving at Phuket International Airport and transferring to the hotel, the evening is set aside for Phuket Fantasea, a large-scale cultural theme park inspired by Thai heritage. The show combines a Las Vegas-style theatrical production with special effects, staged alongside a carnival village and a buffet restaurant seating around 4,000 guests, making it a striking opening night for the tour.
Day 2: Full-day Phi Phi Islands tour by big boat, with lunch (about 9 hours)
The day trip departs Rassada Pier in Phuket for Phi Phi Don, the larger of the two Phi Phi islands, then continues by boat around Phi Phi Lay to see Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Bay and Viking Cave. Maya Beach, on Phi Phi Lay, is the beach made famous by the film The Beach and remains one of the most photographed spots in the group.
A buffet lunch is served on board or on the islands, with free time afterward to relax on the beach before the boat returns to Phuket in the late afternoon. National park entry fees apply separately for guests who want to snorkel.
Day 3: Half-day Phuket city tour
The tour covers Phuket's best-known viewpoints and streets, starting with the beach roads of Patong, Karon and Kata before continuing to Phuket Town, where Sino-Portuguese shophouse architecture reflects the island's trading-port history. The route also takes in the Karon Viewpoint over three beaches, a stop at Wat Chalong temple, and a visit to a local cashew nut factory to sample the regional snack.
Day 4: Fly Phuket to Bangkok, transfer to Hua Hin (about 3 hours / 222 km)
After checkout, the group flies from Phuket to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, then continues by road to Hua Hin, a drive of roughly three hours. This is the only domestic flight in the itinerary and marks the shift from Andaman island beaches to Hua Hin's quieter Gulf-coast seaside setting, with the rest of the day left free.
Day 5: Half-day Hua Hin and Cha-am tour
The tour drives north to Maruekhathaiyawan Palace, the teakwood 'Palace of Love and Hope' completed for King Rama VI in 1924, with time to walk through the restored royal residence. Heading back south through Hua Hin, the route stops at Khao Takiab (Monkey Mountain), home to a hillside monastery and resident wild monkeys, before finishing at the ornate royal pavilion of Hua Hin Railway Station.
Day 6: Full-day Pa-La-U Waterfall trek (Kaeng Krachan National Park)
The group drives about 60 km west of Hua Hin into Kaeng Krachan National Park toward the hills bordering Myanmar, reaching Pa-La-U Waterfall, a 16-tier cascade inside forest believed to be over a thousand years old. From there, a trek through the rainforest leads up to the fourth cascade, where a pool holds wild carp, with wild monkeys and birdlife often heard along the trail before lunch at a local restaurant and the return drive to Hua Hin.
Day 7: Hua Hin to Bangkok (about 3 hours / 200 km), Chao Phraya dinner cruise
After checkout, the group transfers from Hua Hin to Bangkok by road, arriving in time to settle in before the evening's Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise. Departing from River City Pier around 18:00, the cruise takes in Bangkok's lit-up riverfront and glimpses of local river life over a Thai, international and Indian buffet, offering a relaxed welcome to the capital after the road transfer.
Day 8: Bangkok to Safari World and Marine Park and back (about 1 hour 30 minutes / 34 km one way)
Pickup around 08:00 leads to Safari World, a roughly 170-acre open zoo and leisure park divided into two zones. The Safari Park section is toured by vehicle past zebra, giraffe, tigers, lions and bears in open, savannah-style enclosures, while the Marine Park section runs dolphin and sea lion shows — a day well suited to families travelling with children. The group is back at the hotel by around 17:00.
Day 9: Transfer to Suvarnabhumi Airport for departure
The tour ends with a transfer from the Bangkok hotel to Suvarnabhumi Airport in good time for the return or onward flight, closing out the Phuket, Hua Hin and Bangkok circuit. Agents can also use this slot to attach extra nights in Bangkok or a further Thailand extension for clients travelling on.
