This trip promises a portfolio of island snapshots where you’re the main character. Phuket will be your most photogenic subject.
You’ve arrived in Thailand! After you land at Phuket International Airport (HKT) hop in a group transfer to your hotel, where the adventure begins. After checking into your hotel, take some free time to explore Patong Beach—just steps from your door—or unwind by the pool. Once the evening rolls around, gather with your group for a welcome dinner at a restaurant specializing in southern Thai cuisine, where bold flavors and local hospitality set the tone for a week. Share some laughs and get ready for some incredible moments to come.
Start your day with breakfast at the hotel, followed by a temple tour to the iconic Big Buddha, a large marble statue perched atop Nakkerd Hill. Get your cameras ready, as the panoramic views from the summit will allow you to capture Phuket’s coastline and lush hills in every direction. After lunch at Tu Kab Khao—a Michelin restaurant known for its high-quality local ingredients—wander through Phuket Old Town. Here, pastel Sino-Portuguese buildings, vibrant street art, and markets buzzing with activity offer endless inspiration for your lens. Free time in the afternoon lets you chase golden hour, before you head out to experience Thai cuisine at a local restaurant.
In the morning, wake up and eat some breakfast before lacing up your shoes for a morning hike to Freedom Beach, a secluded stretch of sand that offers a stair hike through lush greenery. The reward: powdery white sand, turquoise water, and a peaceful escape perfect for capturing those classic island shots. After lunch at a local spot, return to your hotel to refresh before diving into a hands-on Thai cooking class. Learn the secrets behind your favorite dishes in a small group setting, then savor your creations for dinner—an experience sure to add flavor to your travel memories.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, today brings you up close with Thailand’s most beloved residents at an ethical elephant sanctuary. Observe, feed, and even join the elephants as they cool down in an outdoor shower, all while learning about the sanctuary’s mission to provide lifelong care for retired or rescued elephants. Lunch at the sanctuary offers time to reflect on the experience before heading back to the hotel for a relaxed evening and more opportunities to edit or share your favorite shots. End the day with a freestyle dinner where you can indulge in more of Thailand’s flavors.
Start the day with some breakfast before setting out for a full day of island hopping by speedboat. On your Phi Phi Island excursion, cruise to Maya Bay’s dramatic cliffs and Pileh Lagoon’s emerald waters, which provide a stunning backdrop for both action shots and serene landscapes. After fueling up with lunch on the sand, dive into snorkeling and other water activities, capturing the vibrant energy of tropical island life before returning to Phuket. You’ll enjoy a dinner of your choice as you watch the sun set along Patong Beach.
Wake up to enjoy breakfast at the hotel, where you’ll then enjoy some free time - perhaps you’ll revisit favorite photo spots or simply relax by the pool. After lunch, unwind with a 90-minute traditional Thai massage, a restorative experience after days of adventure. As night falls, gather for a farewell dinner at Blue Elephant, a Michelin-rated restaurant celebrated for its classic Thai and Peranakan cuisine—a fitting finale to a week of exploration, creativity, and camaraderie.
After your final breakfast at the hotel, check out and enjoy a private group transfer to Phuket International Airport (HKT) with your new friends. You’ll travel home with memory cards full and a week’s worth of stories to tell. This portfolio of images and experiences capture the true spirit of island adventure.
