Southern Thailand

Those who really know Southern Thailand will tell you that the region is more than just beaches. It is fiery cuisine that is so tasty it’s worth the tears. It is a rainforest that is older and more diverse than the Amazon. It is floating villages, rugged hikes, awe-inspiring landscapes and a warm welcome from the locals.

Southern Thailand stretches from the Andaman Sea in the west to the Gulf of Thailand in the east. Both bodies of water are home to some of the world’s best islands, from remote gems such as Koh Lipe to more established destinations like Phuket. The region is sprinkled with parks, such as Khao Sok National Park which is filled with waterfalls and lakes to explore or Ang Thong Marine Park in Samui which is teeming with tropical fish and jungle-clad islands. Southern Thailand is also home to quaint towns such as Krabi and Trang which have great markets, local restaurants and cultural sites.
