Day 1

Welcome to Thailand

Sawasdee, and welcome to Bangkok — Thailand’s vibrant capital where ancient traditions hum beneath modern skyscrapers!

Upon arrival at Bangkok Airport, your personal English-speaking driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. You’ll be transferred in comfort to your handpicked boutique hotel — whether that’s a leafy retreat by the river or a sleek suite with skyline views.

Take the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps stroll to a nearby café, soak up the gentle chaos of Bangkok’s street life, or simply relax by the pool as the city begins to glow beneath the sunset.

2 nights in Bangkok – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 2

Golden Temples and Bangkok by Night

After breakfast, your private guide brings the city to life — not with scripts, but with stories. Together, you’ll choose two temples that speak to you: perhaps the elegance of Wat Arun, shimmering in the morning sun, or the peaceful mystery of Wat Saket, perched on the Golden Mount.

Next, step into regal history at the Grand Palace, where intricate mosaics, manicured courtyards, and Thailand’s most sacred temple leave a lasting impression.

In the evening, experience Bangkok the way locals do: through its food. Climb into a classic tuk-tuk for a street food tasting adventure — weaving through neon-lit alleys, past sizzling woks and spice-scented air. Taste bold flavours and dishes you’d never find without a guide, from smoky grilled meats to sweet mango sticky rice made fresh to order.

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner are included

Day 3

From Royal Palaces to Island Palms

This morning, you’ll be transferred to the airport for a short flight to Phuket, Thailand’s island playground. Upon arrival, your driver awaits to escort you to your boutique beachside resort, where turquoise pools, swaying palms, and laidback luxury invite you to exhale.

Spend your afternoon poolside, walk along golden sands, or watch the sun dip behind limestone cliffs as the horizon blushes pink.

Breakfast included
5 nights in Phuket – hotel standard of your choice

Day 4

Phi Phi Islands by Speedboat

After breakfast, enjoy a semi-private day tour (shared luxury speed boat) to Phi Phi Ley, the magical island in the Andaman Sea of Thailand. Visit Maya Bay and Loh Samah Bay to swim, take photos, explore the caves, or relax on their beautiful beaches.

Head to Monkey Beach for snorkelling or trekking through Phang Nga National Park in search of wild monkeys.

Next is an unforgettable lunch at one of the island’s many beachfront restaurants before making your way to Bamboo Island, where you can explore its secluded coves and visit local fishermen’s villages.

Finally, head back towards mainland Phuket, where you’ll view some beautiful scenery on the way back to your hotel.

Breakfast and lunch are included

Day 5-7

Island Living, Your Way

After your island-hopping adventure, the next three days invite you to experience Phuket at your own rhythm. Whether you’re drawn to the simple pleasure of poolside lounging or ready to dive deeper into local culture, these days are about choosing what feels right for you.

Let your mornings unfold slowly — perhaps with a Thai iced coffee on your balcony or a refreshing dip before breakfast. Your digital travel guide is filled with handpicked suggestions, from artisan markets and hilltop viewpoints to lesser-known beaches perfect for a picnic.

If discovery calls, visit the colourful alleyways of Phuket Old Town, where colonial mansions sit alongside buzzing noodle shops and hidden cafés. Or enrich your stay with optional experiences like:

An ethical elephant sanctuary visit, where you can walk alongside rescued elephants in a peaceful jungle setting
A Thai cooking class, where you’ll learn to craft fragrant curries and fresh papaya salad with a local chef
A longtail boat cruise through Phang Nga Bay, exploring sea caves, mangroves, and floating villages

In the evenings, toast to your journey with a sundowner at a beach bar, then dine barefoot in the sand as the stars appear above the Andaman Sea.

However you choose to spend these days, you’ll enjoy the rare luxury of time — time to breathe, to connect, and to savour every moment of your Temples and Isles of Thailand experience.

Breakfast included

Day 8

Farewell Thailand

After a leisurely breakfast, your driver will take you to Phuket airport for your onward flight. Whether you’re heading home or continuing on, you’ll leave with a heart full of colour, spice, and stories — and the sense that you’ve experienced the very best of Temples and Isles of Thailand.

We thank Click And Trip for the superb organisation of our trip to India and for the great recommendations of hotels, tour guides and sight-seeing activities in every destination. We would unhesitatingly book again with Click And Trip – the organisation and planning by them was faultless. Click And Trip's travel consultants were some of the very best we have ever worked with – knowledgeable, friendly, highly efficient and reliable, and so client-focussed. Nothing we requested was ever a trouble!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most incredible experience with Click and Trip for our Vietnam and Cambodia holiday. They were so helpful pre-departure customising and adding extras we requested to our itinerary. As well as helping us organise our visas for our destinations. All our guides were so friendly and welcoming and made the whole experience so effortless and enjoyable. The activities were amazing and so diverse in each city and our accomodation in Cambodia was a real stand out. I can not recommend Click and Trip more highly and there offering in the travel market is truely unlike anything I have seen. Book with them, you will not regret it.

I wanted to email you to thank especially Rosie,Holly and the clickandtrip team for your organisation of our trip. It exceeded our expectations and I will be telling anyone who listens or asks to use your company and yourself. The details and instructions regarding the travelling details were clear and concise. The transfers from flights to drivers to and from airport/hotel seemless. I cannot thank you enough. Your response to any questions was prompt and clear ( and I had a lot of questions). Thank you all for a wonderful holiday we will remember forever.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nyssa at Click and Trip was super helpful and knowledgeable. I gave her an overview of what my wife and I were looking to do in a 5 week trip around Australia and she compiled an intenerary that accomplished that, but also had a plethora of suggestions of places to see and activities that I would never have known.
We also had to change our plans towards the end of our trip and she was able to sort that out hassle free for me.
I have already given her details to friends and family that are thinking of touring Oz and I  will not hesitate to use Click and Trip again for any trips to other destinations that may take my fancy in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently went o Bali with a group of friends and we had the best time! From exploring stunning temples and lush rice terraces to thrilling ATV rides through the countryside, every day was a new adventure. Highlights included visiting the Ubud Monkey Forest, ATV’s, Elephant Sanctuary and the adrenaline of swinging over rice terraces.

What made this trip extra special was our local guides which allowed us to really enjoy our time together as a group. We shared laughs, stories, and unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. From the beginning working with Nyssa was very easy and k always appreciate her quick responses. I look forward to future trips. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 🌸✨ Just returned from our 2nd unforgettable trip with Click and Trip - a 2 week adventure through Japan. From the serene Meiji Shrine to the bustling Shibuya Crossing, the magical Teamlab Borderless, thrilling Tokyo Street Go Carting, and the enchanting Disneysea 🌊🎢, every moment was meticulously planned.
We explored traditional gems like Takayama and Shirakawa-go 🏯, marvelled at Kenroku-en garden's beauty 🌿, and indulged in Wagyu at Bungo Gion 🥩. Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Shrine and the serene Kiyomizu-dera temple were highlights, as was dressing up in a kimono and strolling through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka Streets 👘🌸.
Click and Trip took care of everything – from tickets 🎫, transfers 🚕, luxury hotels 🏨, to private guides 🗺️. They even helped us avoid the crowds with their insider tips and perfect itineraries. The Japan Explorer package was a dream, especially the stay in a traditional Ryokan in Takayama, offering Kyoto’s charm minus the crowds 🏡✨.
For a seamless, crowd-free, and unforgettable Japan experience, I can't recommend Click and Trip enough! 🌟

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic trip to Vietnam with Click & Trip; I can't recommend this service highly enough, it takes the stress out of booking and planning a trip, and ensures you are locked into the best tours, hotels and transport for your time away (so you don't have to worry about getting dates and times right or booking an Air BnB that doesn't exist). It feels like a much more bespoke experience than previous travel agencies I've used, so if you get the chance to use them for your next trip, definitely do!

Yes, and yes. Many of our travellers are solo adventurers who want to experience Thailand deeply but comfortably. You’ll enjoy private guides, door-to-door transfers, and full support throughout.
