Southern Thailand: The Gulf Coast
Southern Thailand's Gulf coast
is famous chiefly for its three fine islands of the Samui
archipelago: the large and increasingly upmarket Ko Samui ,
the laid-back Ko Pha Ngan , site of monthly full-moon
parties, and the tiny Ko Tao , which is encircled by some of
Thailand's best dive sites. Other attractions seem minor by
comparison, but the typically Thai seaside resort of Hua Hin
has a certain charm, and the grand old temples in Nakhon Si
Thammarat are worth a detour.
