Day by day plan
- Day 1
Nairobi to Bangkok
You get to JKIA early and our airport transfers in Nairobi can collect you from home. You fly with one connection, usually through Addis Ababa, Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The total journey is 12 to 16 hours. At Suvarnabhumi Airport your driver waits with a sign. The ride to your Bangkok hotel takes about 45 minutes. Eat a light dinner nearby and sleep early to beat jet lag.
- Day 2
Bangkok in one day
A guide takes you to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho before the heat builds. Dress modestly, with covered knees and shoulders. After lunch you cruise the Chao Phraya River by longtail boat. The evening is free for a night market or a rooftop view over the city lights.
- Day 3
Fly to Phuket
You take a short flight to Phuket, about 1 hour 20 minutes and your driver takes you to your beach hotel. The afternoon is free for the sea or the pool. Beach choice matters here. Patong is loud and busy, Kata and Karon are calmer and Kamala is quieter still. Tell us your style when you book.
- Day 4
Phi Phi islands day
A speedboat leaves the pier early and heads to the Phi Phi islands. You stop at Maya Bay, swim in clear water and snorkel over small reef fish. Lunch is on the boat or on Phi Phi Don. You return to the hotel in the late afternoon. Park fees are usually collected on the day, so carry some baht.
- Day 5
Old Town and viewpoints
Your driver takes you to Big Buddha, a huge white marble statue on a hill with sea views. Next stop is Wat Chalong, a busy temple, then the Karon viewpoint for the classic three bay photo. Phuket Old Town closes the day with painted shophouses, cafes and street food. The evening is free.
- Day 6
Free day or Phang Nga Bay
Today is yours. Many guests add a Phang Nga Bay trip with limestone cliffs and a sea canoe ride near James Bond Island. Others book a spa day, a cooking class or a quiet day on the sand. Your guide gives you prices on the day, so you only pay for what you choose.
- Day 7
Phuket to Bangkok and home
You check out and ride to Phuket airport for the flight to Bangkok. There you connect to your flight home. Allow a long layover for safety, because missed connections cost time and money. You land at JKIA the same day or early the next day depending on the routing.

Why choose Phuket packages from Nairobi
Phuket is the island most Kenyans picture when they think of Thai beaches. It is bigger than Zanzibar, has more restaurants and has a wider choice of hotels and beaches.
Our Phuket packages from Nairobi start with a short Bangkok stop because the best flights from Nairobi land there. You get a taste of the capital before you settle by the sea. If you prefer a different mix, see our Bangkok and Pattaya packages for a city and beach pairing.
Is Phuket better than Pattaya?
On any of our Phuket packages from Nairobi, Phuket gives you cleaner beaches, clearer water and a wider range of hotels. Pattaya is closer to Bangkok, cheaper for short stays and louder at night.
Pick Phuket if the beach is the main event, because Phuket packages from Nairobi are built around the sea. Pick Pattaya if you want a short road transfer and a busier evening scene. Both work well and both are on offer across our international holiday range.
Hotel tiers on your Phuket packages from Nairobi
A 3 star hotel on Phuket usually sits a short ride from the beach and has a pool. A 4 star puts you closer to the sand with a bigger room and better breakfast. A 5 star gives you beachfront access, spa services and a quiet private beach feel.
We name each hotel in your written quote, so you can check reviews before you pay. That is standard on all our Phuket packages from Nairobi.
- 3 star: simple and clean, pool, short ride to the beach
- 4 star: near the beach, bigger room, resort feel
- 5 star: beachfront, spa, kids club and top service
Choosing a beach for your Phuket packages from Nairobi
Phuket is not one beach. It is a string of bays with very different moods, so your hotel location shapes the whole trip.
Patong
Patong is the busy one. It has the nightlife, the shopping streets and the widest choice of restaurants. It suits friends and younger couples. Families may find it loud.
Kata and Karon
These two bays have long, clean sand, gentle shops and a relaxed feel. They suit families and couples who want calm days with easy dinners. Both are about 40 minutes from the airport.
Kamala and Surin
Kamala and Surin are quieter and more upmarket. You find beach clubs, sunset bars and bigger villas. They suit honeymooners and anyone who wants a slow pace. Taxis cost more here, so we include transfers.
Flights and airlines from Nairobi
You usually connect once on the way to Bangkok. Ethiopian Airlines connects through Addis Ababa. Qatar Airways, Emirates and Etihad connect through Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Some Gulf routes also fly direct to Phuket.
A guide fare for Phuket packages from Nairobi from Nairobi to Bangkok has run from about KES 96,000 to 129,000 return. Adding Phuket costs a little more. We check the schedule so you do not land at 3 am with no transport.
Money and phones in Thailand
Thai baht is the only currency you need. Change a small amount at the airport and the rest at a city exchange booth, which usually gives better rates than hotels. Cards work in hotels, malls and larger restaurants.
A tourist SIM card costs about 300 to 600 baht at the airport and gives you data for a week. Many guests use it for maps and ride hailing. Check that your phone accepts any SIM before you leave Nairobi.
Visa for Thailand on a Kenyan passport
Kenyans have generally needed a Thai visa, requested online through the Thai eVisa system. The fee has been about USD 40 to 60. We confirm the current rule and fee when you book.
You need a passport valid for at least six months, a photo, proof of your hotels and flights and proof of funds. We prepare the file with you and check it before submission.
Thailand may also ask for a yellow fever certificate from travellers who arrive from Kenya. See our page on vaccinations and malaria and carry your yellow card.
Best months for Phuket packages from Nairobi
November to April is the best period on the Andaman coast. The sea is calm, the sky is clear and boat trips run on schedule. December and January are the busiest and priciest weeks.
May to October is the green season. Waves are rougher, red flags appear on some beaches and boat tours sometimes cancel. Prices fall sharply, so it can work if you accept the weather risk.
Costs on the ground
Phuket is pricier than Bangkok but still gentle on a Kenyan budget. A street meal costs about 80 to 150 baht. A beach restaurant dinner runs 400 to 1,000 baht. Taxis are expensive, so we include transfers and suggest ride hailing apps for short trips.
Budget USD 30 to 50 a day on top of your Phuket packages from Nairobi for food, local transport and small purchases. Add USD 60 to 150 for optional island or bay trips. Cash is useful in markets.
What to pack
- Swimwear, a rash vest and reef safe sunscreen
- Light clothes and a scarf for temples
- Waterproof phone pouch for boat days
- Flip flops plus one pair of closed shoes
- Travel insurance papers that cover water sports
- Printed bookings, visa approval and your yellow card
