Thailand Beaches

If you are the beach lover, you came to the right place!!!





Thailand has many of the best and most popular beaches in the World…First of all, you have to know that we call an “island”, “Koh” or “Ko” in front of the name, for example: Koh Samed is Samed Island

Andaman and the West side are good to visit during Nov – Apr, after that some of the islands are closed.  Then it’s a good time to visit the Gulf of Thailand (May – Oct).

The rainy season starts in June to October, but if you are heading to the beach I wouldn’t worry too much about the rain.  It’s typical that it will rain for an hour or two each day during the rainy season, but then the sun comes back and if you are at the beach it’s not a problem.

 

 

There were 10 beaches & Islands in Thailand that we have been to so far.  Sometimes it’s hard to tell others which’s our favorite beach or Island in Thailand.

We travelled together but we didn’t have the same favorite idea, but close!  Our top 3 beaches are Krabi, Lipe, Koh Mook and Koh Chang!  It doesn’t mean we don’t like the other islands but we just tried to vote which is the best for us, and we might change our mind if we see more beaches in Thailand.

Pattaya is one of the closest beaches from Bangkok, just an hour ride.  You can rent a car or hide a taxi meter from Bangkok.   Pattaya is good for anyone at any age.

Some people think it’s a crazy beach because there is a large red light street called Walking Street. But if you stay away from that I think there are so many things to do for fun! Read my review about Pattaha…
