Central Gulf Coast The prime tourist destination of the Gulf Coast with the beaches of Ko Samui, the full moon parties at Ko Pha Ngan, diving at Ko Tao, the natural splendor of the Ang Thong Marine Park and the Khao Sok National Park. |
Northern Andaman Coast Some destinations include Khao Lak, Similan Islands, Surin Islands, the southern Ko Chang, and Ranong for its quick visa-runs to Myanmar. |
Phuket The original Thai paradise island, now very developed but still with a lot of beautiful beaches. Also includes the wonderful limestone rock formations of the Phang Nga Bay. |
Krabi Province White sandy beaches, crystal clear water, fascinating coral reefs, caves and waterfalls, as well as numerous islands. |
Southern Andaman Coast Some truly picture-postcard tropical islands in the Ko Tarutao archipelago, as well as the Trang islands. |
Southern Gulf Coast Beautiful beaches and nature, popular among Malaysian tourists. Due to separatist struggles, the three deep southern provinces might be better avoided. |
