Make a Big Splash in the Gulf of Thailand
 No
journey to the Land of Smiles would be complete without visiting
some of its globally lauded, tropical islands and oceanfront resorts.
Dip into Hua Hin (the country’s
oldest beach resort) for golf and
horse-riding on the beach.
Try Ko Chang
for its abundance of eco tourism activities. Rock up to Pattaya
for its raucous nightlife or savour
all of these different delights on Ko
Samui.
But there are many other natural treasures with some sandy fringe
benefits where serenity reigns supreme. Ko
Tao is popular with families and also certifies more rookie
scuba-divers each year than any other destination in Southeast Asia.
To really get away from it all, try Ko Mak in the Ko
Chang National Marine Park. For a more Thai-style experience,
close to Bangkok, head for Bang
Saen, which boasts some of the cheapest and most succulent seafood
in the country.
