The main land mass of central, north and east Thailand is landlocked and surrounded by Cambodia, Burma (Myanmar) and Laos. However, it's the narrow southern peninsula running down to Malaysia that provides some spectacular adventure opportunities. Both the Andaman Sea to the west and the Gulf of Thailand to the east are liberally sprinkled with picturesque island tourist destinations and marine parks. The jewel in the crown, as far as spectacular diving is concerned, is the Andaman Sea, and in particular the Similan Islands.
Nestled like a pearl on the edge of the Andaman Sea, is Phuket Island, Thailand's largest island, shaped like an irregular pearl. Just 70 minutes flying time south of Bangkok, Thailand's most popular beach destination has everything that you could possibly want on a holiday: beautiful beaches, some of the finest resort hotels, international and Thai cuisine, temples, water sports, coral reefs, turquoise seas, scuba diving and liveaboards, and tropical sunshine — all in plentiful proportions.
This island is the only resort area from where you can dive all of Thailand's chief attractions. Phuket, Phi Phi Islands and Ao Nang Beach - Krabi are the best resort areas for a Thailand diving holiday. Phuket is best placed to serve the whole region, and is popular with party-goers, whilst Ao Nang is set on the more peaceful and spectacularly beautiful Krabi coastline across Phang Nga Bay. Phi Phi's magic draws sunseekers and travellers for the beaches and a slice of island-life.
