Route Overview
About this Tour
Southern Thailand has some of the world's most beautiful tropical scenery – dramatic limestone karsts rising from turquoise water, pristine beaches, and islands ranging from party destinations to secluded paradises. While island-hopping typically requires ferries, the coastal roads offer spectacular mainland adventures.
Your Journey in Detail
🏝️Gulf Coast & Beaches
The Gulf of Thailand has calmer waters and different character from the Andaman coast. Koh Samui is accessible by ferry with vehicles. Hua Hin, Thailand's oldest beach resort, is where the royal family holidays.
🌴Krabi & Ao Nang
Krabi province has Thailand's most dramatic scenery – huge limestone karsts draped in jungle, emerging from both land and sea. Ao Nang is the main tourist hub with beaches and boat access to Railay, a peninsula only reachable by water.
🍜Phang Nga Bay
Phang Nga Bay is otherworldly – hundreds of limestone islands rising from emerald-green water. 'James Bond Island' (Khao Phing Kan) became famous from 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Explore by boat from Phuket or Krabi.
