Discover the Best of Thailand: Phuket, Koh Samui and Khao Sok

Think of Phuket and the mind conjures images of gently swaying palm trees, powdery golden beaches and colourful long tail boats poised along secluded coves. 

Opt for a holiday in Phuket and you’ll discover there’s so much more to this island than its picture-perfect beaches. Spend a day discovering the limestone cliffs and emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay and the famous James Bond Island that sits in the heart of it, head in-land to Phuket Town and see the colonial mansions that’ll make you feel like you’ve left Asia entirely, and then swing back to Patong for exciting nightlife and exotic cuisines.

Contrast Thailand’s postcard-perfect coastlines with a visit to the incredible emerald-hued jungle of Khao Sok National Park.

If you’re looking for a Thailand holiday that stands out from the rest, Khao Sok offers so much in the way of adventure, discovery and wildlife that it’s impossible not to be mesmerised at how diverse Thailand can be. Walk among and bathe elephants in their natural habitat, discover cascading waterfalls and tranquil rivers, and sail past soaring limestone cliffs that look like they belong in another world.

If you seek paradise-like views of picture-perfect sandy beaches and bright turquoise waters, then look no further than the tiny tropical island of Koh Samui.

It may be known for being a top tourist destination in Thailand, but Koh Samui still manages to offer a slice of the secluded, tropical paradise we’ve come to associate with Thailand. All of the hotels and building are no taller than a palm tree, and Samui’s main produce is coconuts (which means there’s load of palms on the island), both helping Koh Samui retain that postcard-perfect exotic ambience and look.

You can spend your days hopping to nearby islands for snorkelling and scuba diving, heading up hill to discover the giant golden Buddha that can be seen across most of the island, and letting loose at Chaweng’s popular and fun beachfront when the sun goes down.
