Thailand Essentials
Bangkok + Phuket · 10 nights — the easy choice for your first Thailand adventure.
Thailand offers an incredible number of places to visit. For a first trip, trying to fit too many of them into one holiday can mean spending more time travelling than enjoying them.
Thailand Essentials keeps it simple.
- Bangkok gives you the culture, food, sights and excitement.
- Phuket gives you the beaches, resorts and relaxation.
- Three nights in the city. Seven nights by the sea.
- Two very different sides of Thailand, combined into one easy trip.
City energy. Tropical beaches. One easy Thailand escape.
With just two destinations and plenty of time in each, Thailand Essentials gives you the Thailand experience without overcomplicating the journey. Optional upgrades available.
Day by day
Bangkok
Start in the heart of Thailand. Your adventure begins in Bangkok — a city where spectacular temples, street-food stalls and traditional markets sit alongside rooftop bars, shopping malls and contemporary city life. Three nights gives you time to experience some of Bangkok's highlights without trying to fit everything into a single day.
Phuket
After three days exploring Bangkok, fly south to Phuket and swap the city skyline for blue seas, tropical greenery and sandy beaches. Seven nights here gives you enough time to properly relax rather than simply stopping by. Spend lazy days beside the pool or on the beach, discover Phuket Old Town, enjoy fresh seafood as the sun goes down or venture out to explore the spectacular islands and bays of southern Thailand.
