Hotels in South Thailand, Thailand

South Thailand spans the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, famous for towering limestone karsts and powdery white-sand beaches. The tropical climate brings dry winters from November to April, perfect for island-hopping by longtail boat between Phuket, Krabi, and the Phi Phi Islands, where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters at Maya Bay. From May to October, the monsoon brings rain, but the Gulf islands like Koh Samui and Koh Phangan stay drier, making that season ideal for attending the famous Full Moon Party or hiking to the 12-meter Na Muang waterfalls.
