❓
FAQ
Is 5 days enough for Phuket?
Yes, 5 days covers the major highlights well — a beach base, one island-hopping day trip, Old Phuket Town, and an evening in Patong, without feeling too rushed.
Is 7 days enough for Phuket?
7 days is comfortable for most first-time visitors, allowing time for two island day trips (such as Phi Phi and James Bond Island or the Similans), Old Town, and a relaxed pace between beach days.
How much does a 7 day Phuket trip cost from India?
A 7-day mid-range Phuket trip from India costs approximately ₹56,000 per person, including flights, hotels, food, local transport and activities. Thailand's visa-free entry for Indians means there's no visa cost to add.
Should I book island tours in advance?
Yes — Phi Phi, James Bond Island and Similan/Racha tours all sell out or develop long queues on peak-season mornings. Booking online ahead of time secures your slot and often comes with a small discount.
