Thailand (Phuket & Andaman Islands)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Phuket is Thailand's largest island, sitting in the Andaman Sea off the country's southern peninsula, and serves as the gateway to some of Southeast Asia's most celebrated coastal scenery. The surrounding Andaman region includes iconic destinations such as the Phi Phi Islands, Phang Nga Bay, and the Similan Islands — renowned for dramatic limestone karsts, turquoise waters, and world-class diving and snorkelling. Phuket itself balances a lively tourism scene, with the buzzing nightlife of Patong, vibrant beach clubs, and a charming Old Town rich in Sino-Portuguese architecture. It draws everyone from backpackers island-hopping on a budget to divers chasing whale sharks and manta rays in some of the clearest waters in Asia.

Sailing Thailand Self-Launched: Phuket, Phang Nga Bay & the Phi Phi Islands

A DIY version of G Adventures' 7-day Phuket-to-Phuket catamaran sailing trip. Instead of chartering a crewed boat, you string together the same island chain using Thailand's excellent public ferries, longtail boats and songthaews — base yourself in budget guesthouses on Phuket, Railay, Phi Phi and Koh Yao Yai, and book the day sails, snorkel trips and James Bond Island tours yourself via Klook or GetYourGuide. You'll see the same limestone karsts, bays and reefs for roughly a third of the tour price, with the freedom to linger where you like. Costs are approximate per person, excluding international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Thailand (Phuket & Andaman Islands) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
