My friend has flown to Thailand today so jealous am I, that I decided to put this deal together. You can adjust this to suit, bur I think it's a good itinerary.
On 8th April you'll fly from London to Bangkok, arriving on the evening of 9th.
You'll spend just two nights in Bangkok but you'll be returning their later on in your trip. You'll spent 2 nights at The House of Phraya Jasaen which is highly rated and near the riverbank Bangkok ideal for getting around but in a quiet area.
On the evening of 11th April you'll take the sleeper train to Chang Mai. You can leave luggage in Bangkok if you wish. You'll arrive in Chang Mai the 12th April and spend 4 nights in Chang Mai at the Zz guest house, leaving on the evening of 16th April for the sleeper back to Bangkok, arriving on 17th April back in Bangkok. You have a bit of time to go back and collect your bags etc before then catching a flight later to Siem Reap in Cambodia. In Cambodia you'll spend 3 nights in Siem Reap at the V&A Villa which is again highly rated. You'll then move on to Phnom Peh. There are a variety of options to get to Phnom Peh cheaply, including buses or taxi. It will not cost more than £10pp whichever option you pick. You will spend another 3 nights in Cambodia, this time in Phnom Penh at Arun Villa which has great reviews.
On 23rd April you'll leave Phnom Penh and fly to Phuket. You'll spend just 1 night in Phuket at the highly rated Baan Kata Maytha as you'll be catching the ferry on 24th, the next day to Phi Phi. On 24th you'll catch the ferry to Phi Phi and spend 4 nights chilling out at the Kitty Guesthouse which again comes highly rated. I've based you there for 4 nights but if you wanted you could also head to Krabi but I think Phi Phi is nicer.
On 28th you'll catch the ferry back to Phuket for your final night before flying out on 29th April back home.
This is just as example and you could adjust this to suit. There are cheaper options in terms of accommodation but I've picked ones that are highly rated. You could also take bus journeys which may be cheaper, although longer than flying.
