Thailand Beach Destinations


Phuket / Krabi / Phi Phi
Phuket is Thailand's largest island and an international resort destination. The small Phi Phi islands are a short distance to the south, while Krabi is the mainland province off which Phuket lies.
Samui
The island off the east coast of peninsular Thailand, with a rather laid-back attitude, but a rather high price.
Hua Hin & Cha-Am
"Royal" retreats about two to three hours south-west of Bangkok
Pattaya / East Coast
Pattaya lies less than two hours from Bangkok, and popular for quick weekends away from the city.
Samet & Chang Islands
Smaller islands east of Pattaya popular with backpackers.
