West Coast Thai Beaches Holidays

Travel down the coast of Thailand and veer west for crystal clear waters and spectacular marine life that make it a favourite with divers and snorkellers alike, as well as miles of white sand beaches and magnificent scenery. The main draw of any Thailand West Coast holiday is Phuket, the largest island in Thailand, which has a tropical climate and long beautiful stretches of coastline. The surrounding region also boasts some of the most magnificent scenery in Asia - a mountainous and heavily forested landscape. To the west of Phuket lies the Andaman Sea and the Similan Islands, while to the east lies the protected Gulf of Phuket, home to Phang Nga Bay and the beautiful islands of Koh Phi Phi. The islands make great day trip destinations by boat, and also offer superb diving. As well as stunning beaches, Phuket holidays are all about some of the finest hotels in Asia, offering first-class facilities, superb service, watersports, tennis, spoiling spas and, of course, delicious Thai cuisine. On the mainland of Thailand sits Khao Lak, which boasts no less than three national parks and beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. The less developed and more deserted island of Koh Lanta is nearby. The beaches and rainforest here are spectacular, and while the island is now on the map, Koh Lanta holidays still offer a significantly lower tourist density. Read more
