Leaving April 19 for a trip from the east coast U.S. to Phuket. Here's our itinerary. We would like to do so much more, but there's no way with our time constraints. Any advice whatsoever? plus what do you think about the dive sites & conditions in late April (diving conditions that is ... I know the weather will be miserably hot and humid)
Start Apr 19 - 9:00 p.m. - arrive Apr 21 in Phuket 7 am (23 hrs travel) - 1 hour to hotel - sleep!
Apr 22 - Thai cooking class @ 11 am - 3:30 pm leave for Chalong Pier (1 hr drive) - board MV Giamani
4-22 through 4-26 diving with Giamani - dive sites: Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Surin and Richelieu
4-26 - depart Chalong Pier early evening - transport to hotel in Patong - take in a Muay Thai boxing match - back @ hotel by 1 am
4-27 - check out the Patong area? massage at the hotel? - then drive to a hotel by the airport
4-28 - 6 a.m. flight from Phuket to Siem Reap, Cambodia
4-28 / 4-29 - tour Angkor Wat
4-30 - 4 pm - start of flights home - 33 hrs (sleeping in Qatar airport hotel for 8 hrs before flight back home)
I feel sad that we won't even really experience the Thai or Cambodian culture! but you do what you can with the time you're given, when you need to dive.
