What islands are there in Thailand?

Phuket.

Phuket is known as "a pearl on the Andaman Sea". The total area is about 543 square kilometers. There are 39 large and small islands around. In Phuket, you can ride an elephant in the virgin forest, play golf in five golf courses, or rent a motorcycle to enjoy the scenery of the coastline. There are many kinds of water activities here: swimming, speedboat, skydiving, canoeing and sailing.

Introduction: It is recommended to rent a car and drive in Phuket. The daily fee is about 65,438+0,000 baht, and an international driver's license is required. It is recommended to book online in advance and pick up the car in Badong. Those who don't drive can take a tugboat. It is about 600 baht from Badong to Phuket Town, and about 600 baht from Phuket Town to Shenxian Peninsula. Be sure to negotiate the price before getting on the bus. There are also tourists who choose to ride motorcycles or rent motorcycles with relatively low prices, but these two kinds of traffic safety are poor and are not recommended.

The cuisine in Phuket is mainly seafood and Thai food. The specialties here are: Dongyin Gong Tang, fried rice with pineapple, Thai spinach, mango glutinous rice, fried rice noodles, fried crab with curry and so on. In Badong, you can buy your own ingredients in the Ban Zan market, let the store process them, or go directly to the seafood restaurant to enjoy delicious food. The restaurant in Phuket Town is cheap and authentic. You may wish to order a special dish, such as Dongyin Gongtang or green papaya salad. The price of seafood in Karen area is more affordable than that in Badong, and most restaurants also offer free salads ~

Koh Samui.

Koh Samui, located in the Gulf of Thailand, is the third largest island in Thailand. Because the history of development is not long, the island still preserves an original flavor. It is a famous honeymoon resort in the world.

The beauty of Koh Samui is famous for its snow-white beaches and dense vegetation. The east and west of the island are connected by a small mountain range. The island is densely forested and the coastline stretches like palm leaves. Walking on the island, coconut trees can be seen everywhere, and even the air is filled with the fragrance of coconut. The best enjoyment is to lie lazily on the beach, listening to the rustling sound of coconut trees, and let the sun shine all over your body. The surrounding islands are more fun for you to experience. Taodao, which is known as the "global diving enlightenment class", Pangan Island, which holds a crazy full moon party, and Nanyuan Island, which has beautiful tropical island scenery, will keep you in Koh Samui and will not leave.

Honeymoon holy land

Speaking of the most romantic honeymoon island in Thailand, it must be Koh Samui. Although it is the third largest island in Thailand, Koh Samui was developed very late. Compared with Phuket in the south, it retains more natural and simple atmosphere, especially the thick and soft white beaches, coconut groves in the evening and luxurious and comfortable seaside resorts, all of which are lovers' favorite romantic elements.

Coconut juice and coconut ice cream

"Coconut Island" is another name of Koh Samui, because there are tens of thousands of coconut trees on the island, which used to be an important economic source on the island, so you must not miss the coconut juice on the island when you come to Koh Samui. In addition to coconut juice, coconut ice cream directly packed in coconut shells is also one of the hot spots on the island's food network.

full moon party

Speaking of Koh Samui, how can we not mention tourists' favorite "full moon party"? This has almost become another business card of Koh Samui. In fact, the full moon party was held in Paan Island next to Koh Samui. This is a carnival for tourists from all over the world, where you can feel young, enthusiastic, crazy and wild.

There is a lot of fun around.

In addition, the outlying islands around Koh Samui are not inferior to the scenery of this island at all. Nanyuan Island, a private island with herringbone beaches and clear layered seawater, and Taodao, a world-famous diving resort (also known as "Turtle Island") are all reasons why people can't refuse Koh Samui.

As the second largest island in Thailand, Elephant Island is not well-known in China. This undeveloped and unspoiled island is surrounded by mountains, just like a paradise that stays in time. It is a real paradise and an ecological paradise.

As the second largest island in Thailand, Gaochang is not as famous as Phuket and Koh Samui in China. Eastern Thailand has always been a sparsely populated place, and the development of tourism is not as fast as that in the south. Historically, the name Elephant Island only appeared in a naval battle of 194 1. Even more than a decade ago, Elephant Island was just a relatively low-key and mysterious place. I don't know when the first batch of European and American tourists discovered here, which has superior tourism and holiday resources and good latent spots, and the island's popularity is increasing day by day. There are 52 small islands around Elephant Island, of which 47 are designated as national marine parks together with Elephant Island.

This undeveloped and unspoiled island is surrounded by mountains, just like a paradise that stays in time. It is a real paradise and an ecological paradise. The whole west coast is a pristine, undeveloped beach covered with palm trees. The seawater of Gexiang Island is pollution-free and crystal clear, which is most suitable for snorkeling activities. Besides swimming and diving, you can also rent motorcycles to play in several waterfalls on the island. Visitors can not only play on the white sand beach, but also take part in hiking, elephant riding, fishing, sailing, snorkeling and tropical rain forest diving.
