Patong is fun for a night and tiring for four. This Phuket tour package puts you in Kata instead, a smaller bay on the west coast where the sand is wide, the sea is usually calm from December to March, and Patong is still only a 20 to 30 minute Grab ride away when you want the noise. You get the two boat days people fly to Phuket for: Phi Phi by speedboat and James Bond Island by longtail. A free day and airport transfers are in too. Flights from India are not included. There are more Thailand holiday packages if you want Bangkok in the mix.
Quieter nights, mostly. Kata has plenty of restaurants, massage shops and beach bars, but no Bangla Road. The tour minivans collect from Kata hotels on both boat days, so staying here costs you nothing in sightseeing time.
The two boat days are different on purpose. Phi Phi is a fast, bumpy speedboat with swim stops in clear water. Phang Nga Bay is slower: a longtail weaving between limestone towers, lunch in a village built on stilts, and the famous rock from the 1974 Bond film. Prefer a bigger boat? Our James Bond Island tour price guide compares the longtail with the speed catamaran.
Every night of this Phuket tour package is at ibis Phuket Kata on Kata Road, a 3-star Accor hotel with a pool, about 700 metres from Kata Beach. Breakfast comes with the room. The airport pick-up is a shared minivan, so expect a stop or two at other hotels; on the way home a private car takes you straight to the terminal. Cash matters on day 2: you pay the Phi Phi park fee of 400 baht per adult on the day, while the longtail ticket already covers the Phang Nga Bay fee. Background on the bay and its islands is on Wikipedia's Ao Phang Nga National Park page.
Couples, honeymooners watching the budget, and families whose kids are happy on a boat all day. The boat operator doesn't take pregnant travellers on the Phi Phi speedboat, and we wouldn't book it for anyone with back trouble either. Want Krabi as well? The Phuket Krabi tour package adds two nights in Ao Nang. Indian passport holders can stay visa-free for up to 30 days (since 15 September 2026), but everyone fills the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online first. Keep about 1,000 baht in small notes for the boat days: park fee, a coconut on Bamboo Island and the optional sea canoe at Phang Nga.

Clear immigration at Phuket International Airport with your TDAC confirmation on your phone, then find the transfer desk in the arrivals hall. The shared minivan drops guests at several west-coast hotels, so allow 1 to 1.5 hours to reach ibis Phuket Kata. Check-in is from 14:00. Kata Beach is about 700 metres down the road; go for sunset, when Koh Pu, the little island in the bay, turns into a silhouette.
Early hotel pick-up for the pier, then the speedboat south to Phi Phi. You swim in the green water of Pileh Lagoon, pass Viking Cave, walk the boardwalk at Maya Bay (swimming in the bay itself is not allowed) and finish on the white sand of Bamboo Island. Snacks, lunch and soft drinks are on board. Carry 400 baht per adult in cash for the national park fee, which this tour does not include, and sit towards the back if you get seasick.
Speedboat tour with hotel pick-up, breakfast snacks, lunch, soft drinks and guide. National park fee (400 baht per adult) paid in cash on the day.
A later start: the minivan collects you around 10:00. First stop is Suwan Khuha, a cave temple with a reclining Buddha and a troop of monkeys that grab anything loose, so zip away snacks and sunglasses. A traditional longtail then threads through the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay to Koh Panyi, the stilt village where lunch is served (ask for vegetarian food at pick-up), and on to Khao Phing Kan, the James Bond island, with the Ko Tapu rock spike standing just offshore. The park fee is included.
Shared longtail tour with hotel pick-up, lunch at Koh Panyi, life jacket and national park fee. Sea canoeing is an optional extra.
Nothing is booked today. If you want to see more of the island, Grab makes it easy. The Big Buddha sits on Nakkerd Hill a short drive inland from Kata (cover shoulders and knees). Karon Viewpoint, just south, looks over Kata Noi, Kata and Karon bays in one frame. Phuket Old Town, about 40 minutes away, is good for an unhurried afternoon of Sino-Portuguese shophouses and cafes on Thalang Road. Or stay on the sand and do nothing at all.
Breakfast and check-out by 12:00. A private car takes you to the airport, about an hour from Kata, so you are not tied to a minivan timetable on flight day. Flights to India leave from the international terminal at HKT; aim to be there three hours before departure.
