These island ideas are for travelers who want pale sand, underwater life and photographs of seascapes. The selection includes both beach stops and places visited mainly for their views.
Bamboo Island
Pale sand, turquoise Andaman Sea waves and tropical greenery create a classic island scene. Consider Bamboo Island as part of an itinerary around Phi Phi. Read about other stops in this area in An island escape around Phi Phi.
Phi Phi Leh
The neighbour of well-known Phi Phi Don attracts visitors with cliffs, bays and sea views. Compared with the more developed Don, Leh feels like the archipelago’s natural side. When planning a visit, check current protected-area rules and access to individual bays.
The Khai Islands
Khai Nai, Khai Nui and Khai Nok are small islands around Phuket. They offer possibilities for a stop by the sea, photographs and island views. The length and content of a trip depend on your route and the weather.
Koh Haa
This island group is especially interesting for its underwater scenery. When considering a sea excursion, ask whether snorkeling or diving is included, what equipment you will need and whether the programme suits your experience. Confirm route availability in advance.
James Bond Island
Visitors mainly come for the recognizable rock scenery from a James Bond film rather than a beach holiday. It is a chance to see the famous view in person and take photographs to remember it.
Before choosing a sea excursion, confirm stops, journey times, weather conditions and visitor rules. An island’s appearance in an article does not mean a particular excursion is available on your dates.
