It’s no secret that Thailand has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches – which is great, but can make choosing one you’d like to spend a few days on painstakingly difficult!

Whether you’re looking to relax and soak up the sun, are interested in hiking, climbing or diving, or just hope to party all night long, our expert breakdown of Thai beaches will help you choose which sliver of paradise will truly be paradise for you.

If You Want To Be Off the Grid: Koh Kood

Head east from Bangkok to the island of Koh Kood (also called Ko Kut), just off the coast of the city of Trat. Koh Kood is the definition of paradise. There are no ATMs on the island, and there are usually so few travelers here that you’re likely to see starfish on the beach in their natural habitat.

If You Want to Party: Koh Phangan

Make your way south to Koh Phangan, home of the infamous full moon parties. If you’re here to party, you’ll need to book far in advance — hotels on Haad Rin beach, home to the event, get booked out months in advance for each party. The COAST Resort is a solid option, just minutes from the party. If all-night debauchery isn’t your thing, Bottle Beach on the northern end of the island is slightly removed from the madness.

If You Want Natural Beauty: Railay Beach

If You Want To Be Close to Bangkok: Koh Si Chang or Koh Samet

Your closest options are Koh Si Chang and Koh Samet. Koh Samet is definitely busier, but has some great beaches. Koh Si Chang is bigger and has fewer tourists; it’s pretty tropical, with lots of growth after rainy season, but due to its size you’ll need to rent a motorbike.
