This itinerary is ideal for travelers seeking a brief getaway.
Day 1: Arrive and unwind at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort, a beachfront property across from Karon Beach. Spend a slow afternoon lounging in one of its large swimming pools, exploring the expansive botanical gardens, taking a Thai cooking class, or strolling along the tranquil Karon Beach. Enjoy sunset cocktails followed by a beachfront dinner at Ciao Pizza and Grill Restaurant.
Day 2: Take a day trip around Phuket’s breathtaking viewpoints like Promthep Cape, Karon Viewpoint, and Monkey Hill for stunning panoramic scenery. Or, go beach-hopping to visit Phuket’s beautiful and lively beaches, including Karon’s neighboring beaches, Kata and Kata Noi, Kamala Beach and Freedom Beach, and end at Patong Beach for a taste of the island’s vibrant nightlife.
Day 3: Spend your last day visiting Phuket Old Town. If you’re there on a weekend, browse the Naka Weekend Market or Lard Yai Sunday Night Market for souvenirs and sample street food.
5-Day Itinerary
A 5-day stay hits the perfect spot for exploring all the main attractions that Phuket offers.
Day 1: Arrive and check in at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort. Take a dip in the swimming pool, explore the lush gardens, and visit the beachfront petting zoo. Relax with dinner at one of the resort’s gourmet restaurants.
Day 2: Spend the day at Karon Beach, which is easily accessible from the resort. Enjoy swimming in the calm, turquoise waters, lounging on the powdery soft sand, or trying watersports activities like stand-up paddleboarding, jet skiing, and parasailing. You can even catch a game of beach volleyball with locals and fellow visitors.
Day 3: Head out on a cultural tour of Phuket’s main attractions. Explore the historical Old Phuket Town, with its Sino-Portuguese shophouses and various museums, including the Thavorn Phuket Museum. This museum houses a charming collection of antique items, memorabilia, and over 1,000 artifacts, displaying snippets of Phuket’s history and heritage as a former tin mining town.
Day 4: Go on an adventure deep in the tropical rainforest with a jungle trek in Khao Sok National Park on foot or on an ATV. Visit an ethical elephant sanctuary or gibbon rehabilitation center. Try ziplining above the jungle tree tops at Hanuman World. Head back to Karon Beach and enjoy the nightlife at a beach club or Ciao Wine Bar.
Day 5: Have a slow morning at the resort with a sumptuous breakfast at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort’s Ocean Rhyme Restaurant, or better yet, breakfast in the comfort of your room. After relaxing in the resort swimming pool, head to a market or shopping mall for some souvenir shopping before heading home.
7-Day Itinerary
Have a leisurely time in Phuket with a full-week vacation that gives you a balance of relaxation, fun, and adventure.
Days 1 and 2: Arrive and settle in. Spend the first two days enjoying all the resort’s attractions, including its four large swimming pools, giant water slides, botanical gardens, and petting zoo. You can take Thai cooking and pizza-making lessons and unwind at the resort’s VIP Club Lounge or Zippy Day Club.
Day 3: Enjoy the sun, sand, and sea with a day at Karon Beach. It offers soft sand and quiet spots perfect for sunbathing and beachcombing. The warm water is ideal for various watersports for those seeking more physical activity. Catch mesmerizing sunsets while enjoying cocktails and dinner at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort’s beachfront restaurants.
Day 4: Go on an island-hopping tour of nearby islands, like Coral Island, James Bond Island, Similan Islands, or Phi Phi Islands. Many tours include snorkeling, sightseeing, and lunch on the beach. Staff at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort can help you plan your trip.
Day 5: Get your adrenaline pumping with activities like a jungle trek or ziplining adventure. Phuket offers several nature trails through lush rainforests to see waterfalls and various flora and fauna.
