Visit Southern Thailand

Southern Thailand at a glance

Southern Thailand is a bit like the seaside part of the country. It's obviously a bit of a caricature because it also has local life, its own history and culture, but tourists go there first and foremost for the sea and its islands. This is where we find the most beautiful beaches and paradise islands for which Thailand is famous. Whether on the Gulf of Thailand side with Koh Samui and its neighbors or on the Andaman Sea side - Phuket and Krabi), the coastline and especially the islands are ideal for a great vacation. In the South of Thailand, there are many of the most famous diving sites in the world, islands with postcard landscapes, the extraordinary Khao Sok National Park, floating villages in the superb Phang Nga Bay, temples in caves, historic districts... It is the most touristy part of the country after Bangkok.
