The Gulf of Thailand, otherwise known as Gulf of Siam, holds some of Thailand’s most beautiful islands and is renowned for being a prime location for romantic getaways. You can choose from the less developed Koh Samet and Koh Chang or have the best of both worlds and combine the islands of Koh Samui with Koh Pha Ngan.

Adventurous couples can spend a romantic honeymoon dining on world-class cuisine and exploring the mountainous interior of Koh Samui, Thailand’s second largest island after Phuket. Trek through the rainforest-filled national parks, take a dip in natural waterfalls, and soak up a lively night scene.

Neighbouring island Koh Pha Ngan offers a more laid-back experience, only interrupted once a month by the famous full moon parties. The interior is covered in lush tropical jungle and the coastline is dotted with beautiful long sandy beaches. The Gulf of Thailand is a mecca for snorkelling and diving. Whilst on the island, discover the remarkable coral reefs and underwater world on a trip to the outstandingly beautiful Ang Thong National Marine Park.

Don’t forget, our Travel Specialists can tailor-make any part of your itinerary, whether you’re on a relaxed romantic honeymoon or action-packed family adventure, so please contact us if you would like your own bespoke arrangements and excursions.
