Three Thai resorts attract travelers from around the world: Phuket, Pattaya and Koh Samui.
Phuket
Combine time at your hotel with trips to jungles and temples, restaurants and shopping centres. It is an option for travelers who want variety alongside their beach days.
Pattaya
This resort has a lively pace: the Gulf of Thailand coast and sightseeing by day, then restaurants, music and the well-known Walking Street in the evening. Consider how close a hotel is to busy nightlife areas before choosing it.
Koh Samui
People come here to step away from big-city bustle for a week or two and spend time among tropical greenery and coconut groves. The part of the island you choose will shape the atmosphere of your holiday.
Thailand offers many more destinations beyond these three. On each return, you can explore new places and choose a different pace of travel.
