Wherever you decide you will have a bit of a drive from Bangkok airport. About an hour or so to Patong but beaches are pristine and if you go to the right part you will be looked after totally. We go every year and always go to the part of the beach infront of the Holiday Inn, although we stay at the Patong Merlin. Great hotel and the staff become your friends and even keep in contact after you have gone if you make the effort to learn a little thai. Pattaya is another place but in my views the beaches are not as nice. Still a couple hours drive as well. Everything will depend on what sort of budget you have but if you want a longer chat then email me on fo01s@hotmail.com. Going back in August and travelling around hilly areas but I have lots of useful info on what to do, wot to buy and most impotatntly how to save that cash. Paul
I recommend either Phuket, Phi Phi Island, Koh Samui Island. Phuket is the best choice since it is very pretty and if you want to have a romantic time - stay on a less popular beach area and in a resort. Don't stay on Patong beach since that is the 'busy' and touristy spot - also the place where they have girly bars etc. that will put a crimp on a romantic trip. In Phuket you can lounge all day at the beach/pool or take little day tours (James Bond Island, Sea Canoe, Elephant jungle ride..)
I have never been to Phi Phi Island (you take a ferry from Phuket) but I have been told by many people that it is the most romantic place in the world. Very quiet and peaceful an beautiful.
Alternately you can go to Koh Samui Island which is also very pretty etc. and less crowded than Phuket, but more lively that Phi Phi. Yoy fly to all the islands from bangkok (Bangkok air, Thai Air and Nok air fly there).
I would spend 1 week on Phuket and 1 week on Phi Phi to mix things up. 2 days in Bangkok is worth it to see the temples and cultural stuff - also to do shopping for souveniers and trinkets. Also, don't bother packing too many beach clothes - they sell it all in little shops along the beach for cheap! Bathing suits, T-shirts, sun glasses etc.
Hi, the options are mentioned, Phuket will be a good choice if you want to do exploring around the place. On phuket island itself, away from Patong beach, you can get alternative accommodation with more orivacy and still beautiful beaches.
You can use Phuket to head to Phi Phi Island or other nearby island resorts too.
Other than this, you can also head to Krabi for more beach resorts options. You can make enquiries and booking while you are in Phuket for these other places.
Koh Samui is an option, just to watch the storm in the Thailand Gulf during the month. Place is also well known for its full-moon beach parties. You have to check before going though, as accommodation will be hard to book during this period.
One more option I can offer you is Koh Chang out in the east. About 3-4hrs by bus from Bangkok. Great beach resorts and lots of privacy.
One thing for sure, you get real fresh seafood from any eateries. Just dig in.
Go to Phuket!
Koh Samui is spectacular and not busy if you avoid the main tourist resorts. I normally fly into Bangkok, take a 50 minute internal flight to koh Samui. At the airport you have a mini bus service that can take you to different places in the island. I normally take the mini bus to Lamai. It's quieter than Chewang but still offers a lot of choice in terms of entertainment, restaurants and bars.
