12 days Andaman honeymoon: Phuket to Railay itinerary
Villa sand first, a 400 THB Maya Bay dawn with no swim, then cliff nights. Keep the Gulf off this Andaman calendar.
A Phuket villa week, a Phi Phi dawn, and Railay cliff nights make the November-to-April honeymoon. Sleep five nights using Phuket where to stay: Kamala and Surin or a guest-only cove. Fly Bangkok to Phuket in about 80 minutes (domestic seats often 1,200 to 4,500 THB). Add Phang Nga once.
Boat from Rassada to Phi Phi. Sleep two nights. 06:30 Maya Bay at 400 THB, no swim. Finish four nights on Railay or Tubkaek; Ao Nang longtails to Railay are often 100 THB. Fly Krabi in about 75 minutes (often 1,200 to 4,500 THB) back to Bangkok. Couples notes sit on honeymoon.

- Can you add Samui?
- No. This is an Andaman honeymoon. The Gulf dry window does not match a first Andaman fortnight.
- Maya Bay swim?
- No. 400 THB park fee. Swim at Pileh.
- One hotel the whole time?
- A single Phuket villa is calmer. This page moves twice because Railay is boat-only.
