"Great support whenever we had a question and great peace of mind to know we had someone we could reach out to in case of any issues. Frances was exceptional in her care to plan this trip for us - from exploring ideas, to choosing the hotels and activities, her patience to review the options and make adjustments!"

With miles of stunning coastline and a tropical climate, Thailand beach holidays are a dream come true for those who love the sun and the sea, whether you’re visiting its sleepy fishing villages or lively party towns. If you're seeking a slice of serenity, head to the small fishing village of Ban Krut. This sleepy town is located on Thailand's west coast and is known for its spectacular sunsets. Spend your days lounging on the beach or exploring the nearby national park.


For a more active holiday, head to Krabi on the southwest coast, which is known for its stunning beaches and sheer limestone cliffs. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy here, from snorkelling the coral reefs and kayaking through the mangroves, to rock climbing and exploring the many caves.


If you're looking for a truly unmissable experience, head to Koh Lipe. This small island located in the Andaman Sea boasts gin-clear waters and idyllic icing sugar beaches. While here, you may be lucky enough to swim with turtles, as well as just relaxing on deserted islands and enjoying the quiet life.


For a more lively beach holiday, try Koh Phi Phi. This petite island off the coast of Thailand is famous for its clear blue waters and stunning beaches. It's also home to a vibrant nightlife scene, with plenty of lively bars and clubs to keep you entertained into the early hours. Thailand's beaches really are something special - from long sandy stretches flanked by palm trees to secluded coves with limestone cliffs. No matter what type of beach holiday you're looking for, Thailand has it all.
