💡 Good to know for this plan

~11.7 hours of daylight in February — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
A dated booking and same-day sea check are still required — Lomprayah warns that published times can change with weather, traffic or other uncontrollable conditions.
Light day: day 3 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
