All our Thailand guides tagged islands.
Thailand's far southern island: three beaches, a Walking Street, clear water and the country's best snorkelling, a hard trip, a short season.
Shallow water with a gentle shelf, short transfers, a walkable strip and no party scene: which Thai islands suit young children, and which do not.
Mountains and temples in the north against white sand beaches in the south: an honest comparison of Thailand's two halves by trip type, cost and season.
Which sea suits which month, how the romantic islands differ, when a private pool villa earns its price, and a route mixing a quiet island with a city.
Koh Chang: mountain jungle down to a quiet sea, waterfalls you can swim under, a short hop from Bangkok, and a wet season that closes half the island.
Combination tickets, speedboats against ferries, the seasons that stop crossings, and the one rule that keeps a cancelled boat from costing you a flight.
Big beaches, big resorts and a ring road: what Samui is actually like, which coast to choose, and why its season is the opposite of the Andaman.
The most photographed islands in Thailand, and the most oversubscribed: how the day trip works, what an overnight gets you, and where the quiet is.
Thailand's largest island holds a party strip, quiet family beaches, an old Sino-Portuguese town and a national park: which end suits which trip.
Andaman or Gulf? Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi against Koh Samui, Phangan and Tao: the scenery, the seasons, the vibe, and how to pick the right Thai island.
