SOUTHERN THAILAND: THE ANDAMAN COAST 2008-05-21 23:42:01 As Highway 4 switches from the east flank of the Thailand peninsula to the Andaman coast it enters a markedly different country : nourished by rain nearly all the year round, the vegetation down here is lushly tropical, with forests replacing up to 80m in height, and massive rubber and coconut plantations replacing the rice and sugar-cane fields of central Thailand. In this region’s heartland th

The tiny Rang Island archipelago, south-west of Chang Island, is a primary ne

AROUND CHANG ISLAND 2008-05-21 22:48:31 In general the more interesting hikes can be found in the southern half of the Chang island where there are fewer roads. At the northern end you can walk form Khlong Son beach to Hat Sai Khao beach in about 1 ½ to two hours, from Hat Sai Khao beach to Hat Khlong Phrao beach in about two hours, and from Hat Khlong Phrao beach to Hat Kaibae beach in about two hours. All three are straightforward wa
PHUKET 2008-05-18 00:43:00 The country’s largest island, most populous, most visited island, a whirl of color and cosmopolitanism that’s a province into itself, Phuket Island is dubbed by the tourist industry.

Both are part of Hat Noppharat Thara beach/Phi Phi Island National Marine Park, though this means little in the face of the blatant land encroachment now taking place on Phi Phi Don .Only parts of Phi Phi Don Island are actually under the administration of the Mational Parks Division
AO THIAN BEACH 2008-05-13 00:58:55 Ao Thian beach locate at the east coast of Samet Island and South of Ao Wong Deuan beach, from this beach south things start to get much quieter. It is better known by its English name ‘Candlelight Beach’.

AO WONG DEUAN BEACH 2008-05-13 00:54:36 Ao Wong Deuan beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Ao Cho beach, this once gorgeous bay is now filled with speedboats and jet-skis. Ao Wong Deuan beach has a lot of accommodation packed into a small area, making things a bit cramped. The crescent shaped beach is still nice, but it is noisy and often crowded. There are three boats – the Malibu, Seahorse and Vongduern – g
AO CHO BEACH 2008-05-13 00:53:46 Ao Cho beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Ao Nuan beach, a five minute walk across the next headland form Ao Nuan beach, this beach has its own pier and can be reached directly from Ban Phe on the boat White Shark or aboard the supply boat.

AO NUAN BEACH 2008-05-13 00:47:01 Ao Nuan beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Ao Phutsa beach (Ao Thaptim Beach) is one of the quieter, more secluded places to stay without having to get to the far south of the Samet Island.

AO PHUTSA BEACH 2008-05-12 01:11:14 Ao Phutsa beach or Ao Thapthim beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Ao Phai beach.

AO HIN KHOK BEACH 2008-05-12 01:07:38 Ao Hin Khok beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Sai Kaew beach. Hin Khok beach’s size is about half of Hat Sai Kaew beach but just as pretty – the rocks that give the beach its name add a certain character.

AO PHAI BEACH 2008-05-12 01:05:53 Ao Phai beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Hin Khok beach. Ao Phai beach is another shallow bay with a nice wide beach.

A little farther along the road from here is where the cross-island road to Ao

SIMILAN ISLAND 2008-05-11 11:51:28 Rated by Skin Driver magazine as one of the world’s top ten spots for both above-water and underwater beauty, the nine islands that make up the Similan Island national park are among the most exciting diving destinations in Thailand. Massive granite boulders set magnificently against turquoise waters give the islands their distinctive character, but it’s the thirty-meter visibility that draws
PAH NGAN ISLAND 2008-05-11 11:42:46 Pha Ngan Island, about half hour’s boat ride north of Samui Island, has become the island of choise for those who find Samui Island too crowded or too expensive. It started out as a sort of ‘back-door escape’ from Samui Island but is well established now, with a regular boat service and over 156 places to stay around the 190 sq km island. It’s definitely worth a visit for its remaining des
PATTAYA BEACH 2008-05-11 11:38:13 Pattaya beach, 147km south-east of Bangkok, is Thailand’s busiest beach resort with over 12,000 rooms available in hotels, bungalows and guesthouses spread along Hat Pattaya beach and adjoining Hat Naklua beach and Hat Jomtien beach.

THE DEEP SOUTH OF THAILAND 2008-05-11 11:24:30 The frontier between Thailand and Malaysia carves across the peninsula six degrees north of the equator, but the cultures of the two countries shade into each other much further north. According to official divisions, the southern Thais – the thai pak tai - begin around Chumphon, and as you move further down the peninsula you see ever more sarongs, yashmaks and towering mosques, and hear with in
PHUKET TOWN 2008-05-25 02:40:29 Thought it has plentiful hotels and restaurants, Phuket Town stands distinct from the tailor-made tourist settlements along the beaches as a place geared primarily towards its residents. Most visitors hang about just long enough to jump on a beach-bound songthaew (local minibus), but you may find yourself returning for a welcome dose of real life; Phuket town has an enjoyably authentic market and
Hat Mai Khao Beach 2008-05-25 02:40:10 Phuket’s northwest coast with the longest and least-visited beach, the 12km Hat Mai Khao Beach
, which starts a couple of kilometers north of the airport and 34km north west of Phuket town, and remains almost completely unsullied by any tourist enticements, with to date just a couple of discreet budget accommodations hidden behind a sand bank at the back of the shore. Together with Hat Nai Yang i
