Top 5: Island hopping in Thailand

There are over 300 attractive islands in Thailand, though all quite similar, there are distinct characteristics that set each one apart from the other. In such a case, you would only do justice to your holiday budget if you went island hopping and experienced as much of it as you could. Here are our Top 5 recommendations for your island hopping in Thailand:

 

1. Koh Samui

The island is home to luxury hotels and Michelin star restaurants which makes it the ideal island for a Honeymoon. Luxury travellers can spend a relaxing holiday at one of the many villas or resorts. But, it is also a spot for any Budget Trippers out there – you can end up staying in one of the beachside bungalows for as little as Rs. 1000 per night. 

 

2. Koh Tao

Also known as the Turtle Island, when translated to English, and also because the island is thought to resemble the shape of a turtle. Koh Tao is only accessible through the water. It is the perfect spot for divers; both, experienced as well as newbies.

 

3. Phuket

With a historic past, Phuket is a beautiful old town having cultural attractions. Being the busiest and the biggest island in Thailand, it has a combination of expensive and cheap stays and restaurants and attracts all sorts of travellers.

 

4. Koh Phi Phi 

Koi Phi Phi is a group of islands which makes for a sophisticated destination for all you Solo Trippers, or even for that ‘all-girls’ trip you have been planning since almost forever.

 

5. Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi

The twin islands, though at a very short distance from Phuket, are absolutely different. Having a very mellow, calm and peaceful ambience, taking a vacay in these islands will give an authentic local experience of Thailand.
