Exotic Thailand Tour Package: Cost & Itinearies Rupees 19,125 6 Days & 5 Nights

Is 5 nights and 6 days enough for both? For a first trip, yes. Three nights is the right amount of Koh Samui to see the island, do one big day trip and still keep a free evening; two nights in Bangkok covers the headline temples and one night out without feeling rushed. If you want to add Phuket or the islands around Krabi you would need a longer Thailand package. This one is kept deliberately to the Bangkok and Koh Samui route, and every hotel, flight and transfer below can be changed to suit your dates.

At a glance

Bangkok & Koh Samui 5N/6D itinerary, day by day

Day 1: Koh Samui welcomes you

Your TravelTriangle representative meets you at Koh Samui airport (USM) and drives you the 18 km, about 30 minutes, to your hotel on Lamai Beach for check-in and lunch. The rest of the day is yours. Most travellers spend the first evening easing into island pace with a walk along Lamai, or the short drive up to Bophut for Fisherman's Village, an old teak-shophouse lane that fills with food stalls and bars after dark. If you would rather have a proper night out, the Starz Cabaret show and Ark Bar on Chaweng are both close by. Dinner and overnight on Koh Samui.

Day 2: snorkelling tour and island cruise

After breakfast you head out on a full-day island cruise and snorkelling trip. The boat works its way around Tong Sai, Choeng Mon, Chaweng and Chaweng Noi, Thong Takhian and Lamai, passing Hin Ta and Hin Yai, the two rock formations off Lamai that everyone stops to photograph. The snorkelling highlight is Koh Tan, often called Greenpeace Island, with clear water and easy swimming. Lunch is a traditional Thai spread at a local eatery. You are back at the hotel by evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: village tour and elephant ride

The morning is a wildlife safari and village tour that shows the working side of the island: a 30-minute elephant ride through the jungle, an ox-cart run through a quiet village, a rubber-tapping demonstration and a traditional lunch cooked in the village. On the drive you can take in Koh Samui's signature landmarks. The 12-metre gold Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai) sits on its own islet at the north-east tip, with the ornate Wat Plai Laem next door, and Wat Khunaram, home of the island's mummified monk, is on the ring road if you want one more temple stop. Back at the hotel by late afternoon for dinner and your last night on Koh Samui.

Day 4: moving to Bangkok

After breakfast you check out and transfer to Koh Samui airport for the flight to Bangkok, about an hour in the air. Check in to your Sukhumvit hotel, then the evening is free for shopping or a spa. The set piece is dinner on a Chao Phraya river cruise, gliding past Wat Arun and the Grand Palace lit up from the water. Overnight in Bangkok. Transfers on this day: Koh Samui hotel to airport 18 km (30 minutes), Bangkok airport to city about 32 km (an hour with traffic).

Day 5: Bangkok city tour

A full day in the capital. The temple run covers Wat Traimit, the Temple of the Golden Buddha, in the heart of Chinatown (Yaowarat), and Wat Pho, home of the giant Reclining Buddha. The city tour then takes in the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the City Pillar Shrine, the National Museum, the Golden Mount, and the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall by Parliament. Your SEA LIFE Bangkok and Madame Tussauds passes are included if you would rather swap a temple for the aquarium and the wax museum. Dinner and overnight in Bangkok.

Day 6: departure from Bangkok

Breakfast at the hotel, then a transfer to the airport, about 32 km and an hour with traffic, for your flight home. If your flight leaves late, keep a couple of hours free for last-minute shopping around Sukhumvit or Chatuchak Weekend Market before you go.

Getting from Bangkok to Koh Samui

The two are linked by a short domestic flight. Koh Samui has its own airport (USM), and the hop to or from Bangkok, whether Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK), takes roughly an hour and ten minutes in the air. This package uses that flight on Day 4, so you never lose a day to transit. If you are extending the trip on your own, the budget alternative is a coach-and-ferry combination: a bus from Bangkok down to the Donsak pier near Surat Thani, then a Raja or Seatran ferry across to the island, about 12 to 14 hours door to door. For a fixed 5N/6D trip the flight is the sensible choice, and it is already built into your itinerary. Our Thailand desk plans this route flying into Koh Samui and out of Bangkok, with the island-to-city flight kept to the morning of Day 4, so a delayed boat or flight never costs you a night in Bangkok.

Cancellation and booking policy

Every package on this page is fully customisable, and you confirm with a part-payment, with the balance due before you travel. Cancellation and refund terms depend on how close to departure you cancel and on the individual hotel and airline rules for your dates. Because international flights and island hotels often carry their own non-refundable windows, your travel expert confirms the exact cancellation schedule in writing before you pay anything. Free date changes and itinerary tweaks are available right up to the point of confirmation. The prices and inclusions on this page are checked by our Thailand desk against live operator quotes before every booking.
