To enjoy Thailand’s coast doesn’t require a flight to Phuket. Here are
two more resort areas to consider for your next exchange or Getaway.
Close enough to enjoy the history and culture of Bangkok, yet far
enough away to escape from it all,
Pattaya
offers water sports in
abundance, family attractions, and the lively Walking Street nighttime
entertainment district.
A small island paradise in the Gulf of Thailand,
Koh Samui
boasts palm-
lined beaches along its coast and rain forests with waterfalls in the interior.
Thailand, Coast
Phang Nga Bay:
Tour this bay in a longtail boat and view the
otherworldly limestone
karsts
(islands), including James Bond
Island (below), made famous in the classic film
The Man With
the Golden Gun
. (7:30 round-trip)
Khao Sok National Park:
No visit to Thailand is complete
without a jungle excursion, and Khao Sok offers visitors the
chance to encounter wildlife and flora in an unspoiled natural
setting. (2:45)
Phi Phi Islands:
Just 28 miles (45 kilometers) from Phuket,
these islands have a laid-back vibe and boast an abundance
of secluded beaches. (1:30 by ferry)
Trade a day at the beach for
one of high-speed slides, a
lazy river ride, and multiple
pools of various sizes and
styles at Splash Jungle Water
Park, just north of Phuket’s
airport.
If you’re looking for more opportunities to
explore a rain forest, but in the Western
Hemisphere …
peek through the treetops on a
canopy tour in a cloud forest, and search for a
variety of exotic wildlife in
Costa Rica
. (264)
If you’d like to take day-trips to other islands …
Aruba
,
Bonaire
, and
Curaçao
are all just a short puddle
jumper away from one another. (234)
