If you choose to arrange your own flight, please follow Pearson Travel Planning’s guidance before booking to ensure your flight aligns with the group arrangements.

Enjoy a free day in Phuket and make it your own. Relax by the beach, explore local cafés and markets, enjoy a leisurely lunch, or simply take the day to unwind at your own pace.

For those looking to add more to their day, there are two optional experiences to choose from.

Thai Cooking Experience:
Start with a visit to a local market, where your guide will introduce you to the fresh ingredients used in Thai cuisine. Explore the stalls, learn how to select herbs and chillies, and discover what gives Thai dishes their distinctive flavors. From there, head to an air-conditioned cooking kitchen, where you’ll have your own station and work alongside experienced chefs to prepare classic Thai dishes from scratch. Learn how to balance sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors before sitting down together to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared. Recipes are provided so you can recreate the dishes at home. The experience is suitable for both beginners and experienced cooks.

YONA Beach Club Experience:
Spend the afternoon at YONA, a unique floating beach club located on the Andaman Sea off the Phuket coast and accessible by boat. Relax across the multi-level venue, enjoy the 22-metre infinity pool, and take in panoramic ocean views. With DJs playing throughout the afternoon, you can enjoy the lively atmosphere, refreshing drinks, and beautiful golden-hour views as the day transitions into evening. It’s a memorable way to celebrate your final full day in Thailand.

Both experiences are available as optional add-ons and can be selected when booking or added later through your booking account. The experiences are scheduled to work around each other, so you can choose to enjoy both during your free day.
