Most people land on Koh Samui, settle into a beach routine for a day or two, and then start wondering what else is worth doing. Fair question. Samui sits in the middle of a genuinely good stretch of the Gulf of Thailand, and there are five or six solid day trips leaving the island every…
Everything that actually happens at a Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan — the timeline, the chaos, the cost, and what nobody tells you before you go.
Okay here’s the thing nobody tells you about Thailand before you book a trip. Thailand doesn’t have one rainy season. It has two. They happen at opposite ends of the year, on opposite sides of the country, and whether your beach holiday is underwater or gloriously sunny depends almost entirely on which coast you pick. […]

If you’re flying into Bangkok and heading south, the sensible answer is another flight. If you’re coming off Koh Samui […]
You’ve probably seen the photos — limestone spires rising out of jade water, lagoons tucked inside sheer rock walls, beaches so white they look faintly Photoshopped. Ang Thong Marine Park is one of those places where a single image does most of the selling. Most people end up seeing it from the deck of a […]
