Koh Samui, Koh Phangan & Koh Tao

The Experience

Three islands, one unforgettable trip

Some trips are all about seeing as much as possible, while others are about slowing down and enjoying the journey. Island hopping between Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao gave us the perfect mix of both.

Each island has its own personality. Koh Samui offers luxury resorts and lively beach towns, Koh Phangan feels relaxed and beautifully unspoilt, while Koh Tao rewards visitors with crystal-clear water, incredible snorkelling and some of Thailand's most spectacular viewpoints.

Together they create one of our favourite island escapes in Southeast Asia, combining beautiful beaches, fantastic food and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes you wish you had booked a few extra days.

Koh Samui

Koh Samui was the perfect place to begin our island adventure. With swaying palms, luxury resorts and long stretches of golden sand, it strikes a wonderful balance between relaxed island living and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Whether you're enjoying a beachfront breakfast or watching the sun disappear over the Gulf of Thailand, it's easy to understand why so many visitors return year after year.

Koh Phangan

Best known for its famous Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan has a much quieter side waiting to be discovered. Hidden beaches, jungle cafés and peaceful viewpoints give the island a slower pace that we really enjoyed. It's the kind of place where there's no rush and every day naturally falls into island time.

Koh Tao

Koh Tao may be the smallest of the three islands, but it delivers some of the biggest highlights. Crystal-clear water, colourful coral reefs and dramatic granite viewpoints make it one of Thailand's best destinations for snorkelling and diving. Even if you never venture underwater, the scenery alone is worth the journey.
