Beaches

Phuket, Thailand

Beaches are a big reason why many travellers head to Thailand. Top destinations divide into three main regions: the Andaman Coast (includes Phuket and Krabi), the Gulf of Thailand (includes Ko Samui), and less touristy Eastern Seaboard. Phuket is easiest to reach with direct international flights.

  • Family beaches: Ko Samui and Hua Hin offer calm, shallow waters and plenty of amenities.

  • Water sports: Krabi and Phuket excel with diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing.

  • Peace & quiet: Ko Lanta provides tranquil, laid-back vibes away from crowds.

Visit November to February for best weather and book accommodations early during the peak Christmas and new year season.
