The 4 Islands tour from Ko Lanta Island
The 4 Islands tour at Ko Lanta includes the following islands: Ko Karadan, Ko Mook, ko Chuek and Ko Ngai (also called Ko Hai). There is a choice of a few agencies offering these one day tours. They all offer a similar tour program – pick up from the resort, cruise and snorkeling (snorkeling equipment is supplied by the agency), fruit, drink, lunch on one of the islands, spending time at the beach and returning to the resort.
Ko Rok Isalnd Travel Info
The beaches are really magnificent with very soft white sand and amazing clear turquoise blue waters. Beautiful rain forest with Mangrove trees are found all over the island’s mainland. Ko Rok Nok’s magnificent beach is called Ao Man Sai. At a short distance, which can be crossed by swimming, you can find Ko Rok Nai island with its own breathtaking beach, called Ao Sarn Chao. (it means the wind house beach).
Ko Lipe – ways to get to Ko Lipe
Ko Lipe is one of the most amazing islands in Thailand, and many say it is the most beautiful one. This is why Ko Lipe and its surrounding area have been nick named “The Thailand’s Maldives”. The name Ko Lipe means the paper island, in the Sea Gypsies language. The Sea Gypsies discovered Ko Lipe island and settled there.
Ko Lipe and its surrounding area – beaches, islands, snorkeling and nightlife
Ko Lipe is every tropical islands lover’s dream – one of nature’s miracles with many great beaches, soft white sands and beautiful clear turquoise waters. Snorkeling sites can be found right near the beach, as well as plenty of resorts, shops, restaurants, massages and lively nightlife in the pubs on the beach.
Phuket Beaches – Travel
This is the first article about Phuket beaches and it will concentrate on most of the beaches on the island beginning with Patong Beach and all the way down south to Rawai Beach. This article does not include all the beaches located to the north of Patong Beach such as: Kamala Beach, Surin Beach, Bang Tao Beach etc. exept one beach, Nai Yang Beach, located next to Phuket airport.
Nai Yang Beach – Phuket Thailand
Nai Yang Beach is located only 1.5 Km. away from Phuket airport. Next to it there are some resorts and the beach itself is very relaxing and of high quality. It is certainly recommended to those of you who prefer a change to the crowds of other Phuket beaches.
Rawai Beach – Phuket Thailand
Rawai Beach is not suited for bathing in the sea however it is a sea food paradise, great for sea food lovers who can enjoy the immense variety of fresh sea fruits and fish offered by the local restaurants, (from my experience there are very good restaurants there).
Nai Harn Beach – Phuket Thailand
Nai Harn Beach is one of the best and most beautiful beaches in Phuket and due to its relatively far distance from the main tourist attractions, it is not crowded. This beach is highly recommended especially if you have a car so that you can combine bathing on the beach with a tour of the area.
Kata Noi Beach – Phuket Thailand
Kata Noi Beach is smaller than Kata Beach but it is very pleasant and clean. The beach is relatively isolated and quiet during the day and night.
Kata Beach – Phuket Thailand
Kata Beach is a great beach with soft white sand surrounded by lush green hills, clean blue waters, plenty of beach chairs and parasols, small restaurant at the back of the beach which will happily serve you light meals, drinks, fruit shakes and fresh fruits.
Karon Beach – Phuket Thailand
Karon Beach is much more relaxing than Patong Beach and it is suitable for families. I can’t explain it, but my feeling was that Kata Beach is nicer.
Paradise beach – Phuket Thailand
Paradise beach has more disadvantages than advantages and I don’t recommend it. In addition the road leading to Paradise Beach is narrow with many sloppy curves which I don’t recommend to any new driver or to those riding motor bikes.
Patong Beach – Phuket Beaches
Patong beach is best suited for tourists looking out for vibrant nightlife, prostitutes and drag queens, etc., however, families or tourists looking for a relaxing holiday will not find it suitable.
