Island Destinations In Thailand
Thailand is a well-known destination for those wanting to get away from the cold winter weather in their own countries
. If you're seeking sunshine and the friendly smiles of the Thai people then book a flight to the capital, Bangkok, for an exciting adventure before heading down to the golden shores of Samui or Phuket, and you won't be disappointed. Its location in the south-east of Asia provides it with an exotic natural beauty and warm climate that attracts people from all over the globe.Resorts and hotels in Thailand focus on the guests comfort, and furnishings and dcor are luxurious and tasteful. If you are considering travelling to Thailand then the most convenient way to book is to do a search online where there's lots of choice and prices are lower than anywhere else. Just take a look through some of the leading travel and tour websites, or type in the name of the island you want to visit and see what comes up.
There are lots of sights and attractions to visit whilst in the country, Bangkok is the capital and great for shopping and nightlife, however if you want something a bit more relaxing and quiet then head to the beaches in the south of the country. Phuket and Samui are just two of the most visited islands in the south and have first-class international hotels, including well-known brands, as well as more economical bungalows on the beach to suit all budgets.
These tropical islands are blessed with pure white-sand beaches bordered by swaying palm trees and a sparkling blue ocean - what more reasons are there for travelling to Thailand? Relax on the beach every day, swim or snorkel, learn to dive and experience the nightlife on the islands, then go home chilled out and happy.
Phuket is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the south due to its modern outlook and traditional way of life. Catering to a diverse range of holidaymakers this paradise island has plenty of activities, entertainment, restaurants and beaches to please everyone. Phuket Town is an interesting place with sino-portuguese architecture and art galleries to explore, whilst on the other side of the mountain is the busiest tourist resort of Patong, further towards the southern tip of the island are Karon and Kata suitable for those looking for a quiet area. If you do visit Phuket then the months of November to March are the best time of year to visit as it's not too hot and the rainy season is over.
On the opposite side of the mainland and smaller than Phuket is Koh Samui reached by a short flight from Phuket or a bus ride to Surat Thani and then a boat to the island. Popular with backpackers, families, newlyweds and the health conscious it offers the ideal mix of stunning untouched beaches, fun activities, new experiences and international cuisine.
Ko Samui is less crowded than Phuket but if you do like to people watch or busy bars then stay in Chaweng which is the most developed resort. There are still plenty of idyllic spots next to the ocean especially if you go to Lamai or Bo Phut. Not far from here is Koh Phangan, an island most people have heard of these days as it's the scene of the famous full-moon parties, and go that little bit further and you'll find the tiny island of Koh Tao, the best place for experienced or new divers.
Asian hospitality is second to none and your stay is sure to be one that you'll never forget, even if it's just for the level of service you receive from the staff and management. If you really want to spoil your partner then top resorts include Karma Samui Resort, Napasai, and The Renaissance Koh Samui Resort & Spa.
Five star Koh Samui hotels and boutique hotels are plentiful whether you want a large resort with everything on site, a smaller more intimate environment, a beachfront location or accommodation near to the airport for convenience.
