This is an ideal itinerary for those who wish to visit Phuket & Krabi Islands.
We were 4 people who managed to complete this trip. This helped us to share the transfer fees and Cab expenses which are exorbitantly high in the southern part of Thailand.
While planning the trip, I had a budget in mind for this trip which was Rs. 48,000 per person. However, we managed to do this trip in Rs. 51,000 per person.
This includes Flights, Hotels, Activities, Meals, Sim Card and Travel Insurance
We boarded the Go Air Direct flight from Mumbai to Phuket - travel time - 4.5 hours
Took 3 hours to get out of the airport as there was a long queue in immigration.. Try Express entry - 200 Baht to be paid per person (Rs. 450) for priority arrival service..
Had already booked the Airport transfer through Andaman Thai Travel from Phuket to Krabi (Ao Nang)
We had asked for two stops while going from Phuket Airport to Krabi on the booking page itself.. However, the driver did not stop at the designated stops and was kinda rude too.. But the price which we paid for the transfer was similar to a public transport transfer.. Hence, we did not argue with the driver..
We stayed at Jin Two Villas (Ao Nang) - 4 Kms from Ao Nang beach..

We went for the Phi Phi Islands Day tour from Sea Eagle tour
Places visited - Bamboo Island, Maya Bay, Phi Phi Leh, Viking Cave, Phi Phi Don
Lunch was included in the day tour which had vegetarian and non veg options..
The Phi Phi Islands were absolutely stunning.. We did Snorkeling and Swimming as a part of this Island Tour.
We did the Four islands day tour from Nang An Tour by Longtail boat
Places visited - Phra Nang Beach, Tup Island, Poda Island and Chicken Island.. Poda and Tup Island are popular because KNPH was shot here..
This island day tour can be avoided as they give you only 30 mins time on each island.. Instead try emerald pool, tiger cave tour which we didn't do..
Later, We checked out from our villa and headed towards our next stay in Phuket

The transfer also included a stop at the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint which gave us beautiful views of the Phang Nga Bay (Entry - 50 Baht each)

Reached Home at 6.30 pm and headed towards Patong for some more shopping..
Ate dinner at Koko Hut in Chalong which we reserved through Eatigo App..
We headed to Rawai beach in the morning on our bikes.. and then checked out of Little Latte House and went to Phuket old town where we had booked our hotel for the last night..
It was Borbaboom poshtel which was a hostel having private rooms.. The Poshtel had a rooftop swimming pool..
