Going to Bangkok and Phuket for a total of 7 days (4+3).Is it better to go directly to Phuket from BKK airport?
Is it better to go directly to Phuket after arriving on BKK’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and catch the domestic flight?
Can we take the Air Asia flight from Suvarnabhumi Airport or from a different airport?
Or is it better to take our luggages to a Bangkok hotel, leave it there and then go to Phuket on another day? We’ll have a lot of luggages as we are going to another country afterwards.
Please advise
Sounds like a lot of fun! If your flight to another country leaves from Suvarnabhumi (BKK),you should fly direct to Phuket after arriving in BKK to avoid wasting time since you are not going to be there very long,then visit BKK before leaving Thailand.Either way, you’ll be in the airport 3 times,so whichever end of your trip will afford the shortest layover between flights (into BKK then to Phuket, or from Phuket to BKK, then your flight out of Thailand) would be the best choice.I have done this both ways, and I liked arriving into BKK,then flying directly to Krabi better.Either way, you’ll have lots of fun! Always smile when greeting, and say “Sawadee.”
