💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.8 hours of daylight in February — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- Plan this passenger route only after confirming both road transfers, the dated Pak Bara speedboat, marine conditions and park access; dry-season planning does not guarantee calm seas or capacity.
- Light day: day 2 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.
