Ko Phi Phi

Located in Krabi Province, southern Thailand, this archipelago composed of 6 islands has built an incredible reputation.

Although very frequented by tourists, Ko Phi Phi still considered today having the most beautiful beaches in the world. Consequently, the much known Phi Phi Don will surely leave travellers speechless.

Koh Chang

The second largest island of Thailand, Koh Chang is also considered as the most impressive. With its white sand beaches and wildlife, this is the ideal spot for a trek in the jungle populated by colourful birds.

The sea lovers will find incredible seabed to discover and will surely have a wonderful experience.

Krabi

If the south be the crown of Thailand’s stunning coastal regions, then Krabi is surely one of the most sparkling of jewels within that crown.

Situated on the Andaman seaboard, it has some of the finest and most beautiful beaches in the Kingdom.

Almost virgin stretches of alluring soft sands welcome the visitor and the spectacular waters invite moments of blissful swimming, snorkelling and other marine pleasures.

Krabi is also known for its historical significance. Stone tools, ancient drawings, pottery and skeletal remains found in the region have been dated back tens of thousands of years. To describe Krabi as a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a pleasing tropical climate is an understatement. The pace of life here is unhurried and some beaches can be reached only by boat, a notion which lends itself to that unmistakable island getaway atmosphere.

The area is growing in recognition as a resort destination offering a less developed alternative to bustling Phuket. A range of accommodation is available, much of it in the main centre of Ao Nang, where there is as well a selection of restaurants and shops. There is also stunning national park land to explore, with the presence of Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park.

And for those looking for a touch of adventure to add to their ‘fun in the sun’, Krabi certainly delivers: kayaking, sailing, rock climbing, trekking, cave exploration and island hopping are on the list of activities here.

Nha Trang

A tranquil coastal town, with its palm‐lined sandy beaches and clear waters, Nha Trang’s prime activities are discovery of its green islands, snorkelling and diving, or just relaxing on the beach is an experience in itself.

Phan Tiet

A fishing town located 200 km north‐east of Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Tiet is a perfect stop for beach holidays.

In a nice setting with white sand beaches and coconut trees, the resort is also endowed with amazing spots such as the sand dunes, natural lakes and astonishing “red canyons”.

Phu Quoc Island

Located in the Gulf of Thailand one hour by plane from Ho Chi Minh City, the mountainous and forested Phu Quoc Island certainly has the most beautiful white sand beaches in Vietnam.

Far from civilization, this unspoilt island with its crystal clear blue‐green waters and wonderful coral reefs is definitely a recommended destination for peace and nature lovers

Phuket

Dubbed the 'Pearl of the South' by the tourist industry, Phuket is Thailand's largest island and lies in the Andaman Sea off the country's south-western coast.

The island is connected to the Thai mainland by a bridge, but has retained a distinct culture fused from Chinese and Portuguese influences combining with the culture of the chao naam, the indigenous sea-faring people.

About 35% of the island's population is Thai Muslims. The island's terrain varies from rocky beaches and long, broad sweeps of sand to limestone cliffs and forested hills. It has good beaches, tropical vegetation and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, but its ambience and ecology are under pressure from extensive and irresponsible development.

The main resorts include Patong, Karon and Kata, but better beaches are scattered all around the island. Roads radiate from Phuket Town, in the south-east of the island, making it a good base for exploring. Don't ignore the island's interior which has rice paddies, plantations of rubber and cashew nut, cacao, pineapple and coconut, as well as Phuket's last slice of rainforest.

Samui

At 247 sq km (95 sq miles), Samui is Thailand’s third largest island, after Ko Phuket and Ko Chang.

Dubbed the biggest coconut plantation in the world until the first backpackers arrived in the 1970s, this island has now seen tourism become its main income earner.

Samui’s beaches are world famous - its long, perfect strands attract around 500,000 visitors each year. Chaweng beach, in particular, has a reputation as something of a hang-out for an international party crowd.

Sihanoukville

Located in the southeast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand, Sihanoukville is the only maritime port of Cambodia. This small green and hilly city features beautiful white sand beaches and clear crystal waters.

Sihanoukville and its surroundings islands is a perfect stop for a beach holiday.

Trang

Relatively small numbers of Thai people can claim to have visited this splendidly scenic part of their own land, and if it is amazingly well endowed with natural beauty, its other great asset is being one of Thailand's little-known tourist secrets.

Whilst an average of one plane every few minutes uses Phuket's busy runway, Trang's tranquil airport (opened in 1999) welcomes just a handful of flights a day, with the few overseas visitors on board generously outnumbered by Thai businessmen and local citizens.

At the nearby seaport of Kantang, the charming 19th century train station marks the terminal of the South-western Thai railway, adding to the comforting end-of-the line feeling in this lovely part of the Kingdom, with the noise and pollution of Bangkok some 830 kilometres and 15 hours up the track. 

Here, lazy beach lounging and stunning sightseeing attractions can be enjoyed without the standard recipe that tends to define and often defile tourist resorts everywhere, and since over two thirds of the province has been designated as national parkland, thoughtful ecological considerations are likely to shape future development.
