Top 4 Thailand Islands - Sun, Sand & Singha
1. Thailand - Phuket & the Andaman Coast (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
The Andaman is Thailand’s turquoise coast, that place on a ‘Travel to Paradise’ postcard that makes you want to leave your job and live in flip-flops…forever. And for once, the beauty exceeds the hype with white beaches, cathedral-like limestone cliffs and hundreds of jungle-covered isles.
2. Thailand’s Islands & Beaches - Ko Chang & the Eastern Seaboard (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Two islands – Ko Samet and Ko Chang – are the magnets that draw travellers to the eastern seaboard. The mainland has plenty of its own attractions, though, from international resorts like Pattaya to the charismatic, old-world charm of Chanthaburi.
Coverage includes: Bang Saen, Si Racha, Ko Si Chang, Pattaya, Rayong & Ban Phe, Ko Samet, Chanthaburi, Trat, Ko Chang, Ko Wai, Ko Mak, Ko Kut.
3. Thailand - Ko Samui & the Lower Gulf (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
The Lower Gulf features Thailand’s ultimate island trifecta: Ko Samui, Ko Pha-Ngan and Ko Tao. This family of spectacular islands lures millions of tourists every year with their powder-soft sands and emerald waters.
Coverage includes: Gulf Islands, Ko Samui, Ko Pha-Ngan, Ko Tao, Ang Thong Marine National Park, Surat Thani, Ao Khanom, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Songkhla & around, Hat Yai, Deep South, Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Sungai Kolok.
4. Thailand’s Islands & Beaches - Bangkok (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
If all you want to do is kick back on a beach, Bangkok might seem like a transit burden full of concrete towers instead of palm trees. But it’s shockingly easy to succumb to Bangkok’s conveniences, sophistication and fast pace.
