Best Islands in Thailand
Day tours and overnight trips from Phuket to the Andaman's most beautiful islands
Thailand's Andaman Sea is home to some of the world's most stunning islands — limestone cliffs rising from turquoise water, white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and quiet bays away from the crowds. From Phuket as our base, we run small-group tours to the islands worth your time. Below is our guide to the best, with a quick note on what each one is famous for.
Phi Phi Islands
Made famous by 'The Beach', Phi Phi is the Andaman's most iconic stop — Maya Bay's curved cliffs, Pileh Lagoon's emerald water, and Monkey Beach. Best as a full-day or overnight tour from Phuket.

Two islands (Racha Yai and Racha Noi) about 20 km south of Phuket — clear water, fewer crowds than Phi Phi, and reef snorkeling steps from the beach. Great for families.
