A 7-day Thailand trip from Dubai typically splits into 3 nights in Bangkok for temples, markets, and city sightseeing, followed by 4 nights in Phuket for beaches and island-hopping, with packages starting from around AED 4,499 per person. Entry requirements depend on passport nationality rather than UAE residence status, ranging from visa-free entry for many nationalities to a pre-arranged e-visa for others.
Bangkok and Phuket cover two very different sides of Thailand in one trip, city culture and beach relaxation, and 7 days is generally enough time to properly experience both without feeling rushed.
Sample 7-Day Itinerary

Bangkok to Phuket: Getting Between Them
A short domestic flight, roughly 1.5 hours, connects Bangkok and Phuket, and is typically included in a package’s inter-city transfers. This makes the two-destination combination straightforward to plan without long overland travel eating into the trip.
