Trip To Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok - itinerary and planning

We, two families from kolkata, 7 persons decided to go on our own to Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok on October 2016. It was April 2016 when we decided and decided firmly that no conducted tours and everything we do ourselves.

So first work was to create an itinerary, which should be acceptable to everyone. After long discussion and gathering information from internet we decided to cover Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok. We took help from the itineraries from different tour agencies and then made our own.
The final itinerary was like this:

Day 1: Late night flight to Bangkok from Kolkata
Day 2: reach Bangkok early morning and take a flight to Phuket. Stay at Phuket see beach and market.
Day 3: Phi Phi island tour
Day 4: James bond island tour
day 5: Fly to Bangkok and reach Pattaya by bus  See Pattaya locally and stay.
Day 8: Bus to Bangkok in the afternoon stay at Bangkok
Day 9: Visit Bangkok Zoo
Day 10: Bangkok City tour and late night flight to Kolkata
Day 11: Early morning reach Kolkata
Air tickets were booked first. That time Airasia flights were not available from Kolkata, so we booked return flight CCU to BKK Spice jet . From Bkk TO Phuket we booked with Thai Airways.
I will narrate the whole experience in my following posts... read on


Tips: Try to buy fly through ticket whenever possible, else small delay in flight will worry you. Fortunately our flights were all in right time.
