Thailand is home to many beautiful islands such as Koh Samut, Koh Namwon, and Koh Lepe which attract a large number of visitors to soak up the sun. Thailand's island scenery is no less beautiful than any other country in the world, and to get a taste of Thailand's island charm, try snorkeling on a special local long-tail boat.
Locally, long-tail boats are known as the most convenient means of transport in Thailand. Long-tail boats are made of wood and are about 10 meters long and have Space for up to three. The stern is pointed, raised high, and decorated with large bunches of flowers, and has a canopy with a waterproof enclosure. When the boat is in motion, the driver's bow is at the back and the flower-decorated stern is at the front.
The long-tail boats take the water route and there are no traffic jams. Prices are economical and a full-day charter is usually around 150 per person and a boat can carry up to 8 passengers. For an overall charter, 6 people can make the trip, with 10 being the maximum. Long-tail boats are boarded at designated piers or around attractions every 5 minutes, so you don't have to spend much time waiting.
How many of Thailand's top 10 islands have you visited?
Thailand is a country born to travel. It has mountains and water, romantic beaches and shores, great food and culture. Many tourists who love Thailand are keen on the islands, and today we'll show you some of the best islands to visit in Thailand!
Phuket is an island located in the Andaman Sea in the south of Thailand, with the province of Phuket having jurisdiction over the entire island. Phuket is a world-renowned tropical tourist destination, and its rich natural resources have brought Thailand a great deal of wealth. Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and the only one to have its own administrative division.
Emperor Island is 12 kilometers south of Phuket and takes around 30-40 minutes to reach by speedboat. Compared to other popular or not-so-popular attractions in Phuket, Emperor Island is a very new face. Not only does the island offer beautiful intact natural tropical island scenery, but the coastal views of the coral reefs are equally unforgettable.
Due to its late development, the number of tourists visiting the island is relatively small, and the beaches here are particularly secluded compared to the hustle and bustle of Phuket, with only a smattering of swimmers, surfers, and the sound of waves lapping at your ears.
The Phi Phi Islands are a tourist destination in Thailand, located in the sea between Phuket and Krabi Province, also in the southern part of the country. In recent years, more and more people have been traveling to Phuket for their holidays, and many people who are looking for a peaceful holiday have chosen the Phi Phi Islands, which are close to Phuket. As a result, the Thai tourism authorities have been developing the islands since the 1990s and have been running tours to them.
Diving on Koh Tao attracts a lot of divers and there are teachers on the island who specialize in teaching diving, so you can see turtles, stingrays, barracuda, and lots of small fish. Throughout the year the visibility can exceed 40m, with an average of 15-20m, which drops to 5m in November, and the waters are inconsistent.
