Travel suggestion.

Need suggestions on Travel plans.

Planning a trip this December with my partner(second week) for around 7 days.

Preferred destination to land is Phuket/karbi and 4-5 days in Phuket and Karbi.

Then Krabi to Bangkok via bus/flight stay there for 2-3 days then return back.

Thinking of not visiting Pattaya to save the budget and time.

Any suggestions/things to note on this would be really helpful also a budget estimate for the same with decent expenses and three star hotels or less hotels.

And there is a news about free airline tickets within Thailand for tourist, has it been approved by the government?
