    Craig

    Asked on September 30th, 2026

    We are interested in this tour, however, we see that there are two different options for the 4* level. We would want to stay at Phi Phi Coco Beach Resort, and the Ao Noang Princeville Resort in Krabi. For Phuket, we would prefer Karon Sea Sands Resort. Is this request possible? Also, are we able to get a price to upgrade ONLY Phuket to the 5* Avista Grande Phuket Karon and keep other two 4* options for Phi Phi and Krabi above?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written October 2026

      For your question, this is the initial hotel list:
      HOTEL LIST:
      3-star hotels:
      Phuket: Kata sea breeze or similar
      Koh Phi Phi: Bay View Resort or similar
      Krabi: Ibis Styles Krabi Ao Nang or similar

      4-star hotels:
      Phuket: Karon Sea Sands Resort or similar
      Koh Phi Phi: Phi Phi Natural Resort or similar
      Krabi: Krabi Cha Da Resort or similar

      5-star hotels:

      Koh Phi Phi: Saii Phi Phi Island Village or similar
      Krabi: Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort or similar

      This hotel list is the initial one only, we need time to book the rooms with the indicated hotels after you make the booking. In case they don't have any available slots for us (Travel Agent) to book, we need to change to an alternative, but will be the same category.

      And yes, if you want, you can upgrade to Avista Grande Phuket Karon.

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      It will commence in the second week of August but we are not yet sure if the destination will be Thailand as we are still evaluating our options.
      One more question we were thinking of extending our stay from 9 days to 13 adding 2 more days in Krabi and going back to Phuket for another 2 days and do the elephant visit in one of the 2 days so not to complicate our flight home. Would that be possible and what will the cost be for the hotel stays(same hotels as in the tour) and transportation from krabi to Phuket

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written September 2026

      Based on your initial request for 2 people, starting in Aug 2027, the price of Island Hopping in Thailand In 9 Days with 3-star accommodation will be:
      USD 631 (Upfront Payment) + USD 250 (Local Payment) = USD 881/person.

      * Please note: this price is valid at this time only. If you book the trip later, the price can be changed and will be based on the price at the time you want to book the trip.

      The Local Payment covers speedboat during the trip, the English-speaking guide fee, and some other local fees for a wholesome experience. You can pay Local Payment anytime till your arrival day by cash (new USD bills), OR credit card payment link (with transfer fee about 3,4%, depend on the type of card)

      We just separate the price into Upfront Payment and Local payment to help our clients be more flexible to plan their payment for the trip.

      For your request to extend the trip, yes I can do it for you.

      Yes September is the peak southwest-monsoon period on the Andaman coast, which includes Phuket, Phi Phi and Krabi. Rain can come in bursts, but more importantly for an island-hopping tour, the sea can become rough and boat trips can be cancelled or altered. So you can consider the months from Nov to April, the weather is normally much better, kindly consider it and let me know if you can change the trip to be later month

    Price / Availability
    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      Based on your initial request for 4 people (2 double/twin rooms), starting on Jan 3rd 2027, the price will be:
      * 3-star hotels: USD 850 (Upfront Payment) + USD 350 (Local Payment) = USD 1,200/person.
      * 4-star hotels: USD 1,230 (Upfront Payment) + USD 350 (Local Payment) = USD 1,580/person.

      Please note: this price is valid at this time only. If you book the trip later, the price can be changed and will be based on the price at the time you want to book the trip.

      The Local Payment covers speed boat during the trip, the English-speaking guide fee, and some other local fees for a wholesome experience. You can pay Local Payment anytime till your arrival day by cash (new USD bills), OR credit card payment link (with transfer fee)

      Would it be possible to get a quote for 5-star hotels too?

      Also: I notice that the tour ends at Krabi airport. Would there be an extra charge for the transfer to Phuket airport?

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      For 5-star hotels, the price will be:
      * 5-star hotels: USD 3,400 (Upfront Payment) + USD 350 (Local Payment) = USD 3,750/person.

      Yes, it will have an additional fee if you want me to arrange a transfer from Krabi hotel to Phuket airport

      During this tour based on English-speaking guides, you will join some island group tours, sharing a bus, or boat. The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from the beginning till the end. There are different groups at each place. Airport pick-up and accommodation are private.

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      Could you please let me know what type of hotel would you like to stay in (3, 4, or 5 stars) so I can provide you with a more accurate quote?

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      You mean the plane tickets from Bangkok to Phuket and from Krabi to Bangkok, right? Currently, the tickets are not included in the tour price, however, if you wish, we can certainly add these two flights to the tour for you. The airfare may be added to your Local Payment.

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      Our tour price has two main parts: Upfront Payment - This is the mandatory payment you must make through Tourradar before the tour. Local Payment - This is the payment you can make at any time up to the date of your arrival in Thailand. The local payment covers boat tickets and airport transfer during the trip, and some other local fees for a wholesome experience which you pay us directly by credit card or cash on the first day.

    Asked on August 2nd, 2026

    I am a solo traveller. I notice that the price (per person) for solo traveller is *more than double* than that for a double room in the 4 star accommodation. I expect this is an error. Can you please confirm and provide me the correct price? I understand that a solo traveller supplement exists due to the need to pay for the full cost of the room. However as a solo traveller the food, drink and transportation cost are half - so clearly the total price should be equal to a lesser.

      I want to clarify that during this tour based on English-speaking guides, you will join some island group tours, sharing a bus, or boat. The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from the beginning till the end. There are different groups at each place. Airport pick-up and accommodation are private. Our tour price has two main parts: Upfront Payment - This is the mandatory payment you must make through Tourradar before the tour. Local Payment - This is the payment you can make at any time up to the date of your arrival in Thailand. As you know, the price of a tour for a solo traveler will definitely be higher than the price per person for a group of two or more people. If you add up the Upfront Payment and Local Payment for solo traveler, you'll find that the total tour price is almost equal to the price for two people.

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      The cost of food and transportation for 1 person is half as much as for 2 people. So it is unjustifiable that the cost per person is double. Can you please provide justification for why the cost of food, drink and transportation is not less for 1 person than for 2 people?

      Is there a way to combine the 2 itineraries of the 9-day island hopping and the Amazing Thailand in 9-days? I love the beginning of the Amazing Thailand, and the end of the Island hopping.

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2026

      For your question, yes I can combine 2 trips for you, starting with Amazing 9D first, then Island hoping in 9D.

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      For the brief I sent you, it doesn't include the Elephant in Chiang Mai. Do you want to replace one of 2 tours in Chiang Mai by the Half-day Elephant Sanctuary (group tour)? Or you also can add one more day in Chiang Mai to add Elephant tour.

      As far as the National Park, is that hiking? If it is a hike, I would like to replace that with the elephants. If it is not hiking, we can add a day to that please.

    • Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2026

      Yes the national park tour is a hiking tour, I will replace the Elephant tour for you.
