Sixteen places across Thailand, from quiet villas to party beaches,, each sized up for Avinash and Vartika: what you'd each love, what's not great, and how it fits a trip that lands in Phuket on 20 Feb and heads home on 1–2 Mar. Tap the hearts, then see what you both picked.
Each one is about 10 nights from Phuket. Tap a route to trace it on the map.
The Andaman cluster near Phuket is zoomed in on the right.
Say gin jay for strict veg (no meat, fish, egg or fish sauce). mangsawirat means vegetarian. Add mai sai nam pla: no fish sauce.
Look for yellow flags with red letters (เจ). They mark jay food stalls.
The Andaman side (Phuket, Krabi, islands) is at its best: dry, calm sea, clear water. The Gulf side (Samui) is also good.
The north is pleasant but crop-burning haze often starts around late Feb.
Ferries and speedboats link the Andaman islands. Phuket has direct flights to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Samui.
Bangkok has the most direct flights back to Delhi.
Rooftop bars in Bangkok usually have a smart dress code: no shorts or flip-flops.
Alcohol sales stop on major Buddhist holidays. Makha Bucha often falls in Feb or early Mar, so check the 2027 date against your plans.
Best splurge nights: Koh Yao Noi, Koh Samui or a cliff-side spot in Krabi. Keep Bangkok and the transit stops mid-range.
