Gulf of Thailand

The islands in the Gulf of Thailand are among the most famous travel destinations in Southeast Asia — and for good reason. Koh Samui attracts with luxury resorts and palm idylls, Koh Phangan is much more than just the Full Moon Party, and Koh Tao has established itself as one of the most affordable diving spots in the world. Add to that the breathtaking Ang Thong Marine Park — 42 uninhabited islands like something out of a fairy tale. The three main islands are only 30–90 minutes apart by speedboat and can be perfectly combined as an island-hopping route.
