Three Paradise Islands In Thailand
1. Koh Lanta – bring your family and stay longer than you expected..
Koh Lanta is a beautiful and relaxed tropical island. In Sweden Koh Lanta is called the Swedish island, and it is true a lot of Swedes do come here and tend to stay for a long time or come back year after year.
Koh Lanta’s own Swedish school makes it easy for families with young childres to stay for long periods of time, without having their kids getting behind in their studies. No matter your budget, at Koh Lanta everyone can find accomodation to suit their needs, from the simplest “beach shack” living to five star resorts.
2. Koh Phangan – get ready to party
Koh Panghan is the island of party, backpackers and party again. Probably not the best choice if you are not into the partyscene and definetely not if you are planning to go there during the “full moon party” week of the month.
But if you are ready to party all night with a cool mix of travellers from every corner of the earth, then this is a good place. If you do arrive here on one of the three more quiet weeks of each month, you can enjoy beautiful beaches and a more relaxed wibe. Koh Pangan has accomodation from really cheap up to luxury. You get here by boat from Ko Samui or Surat Thani.
3. Koh Jum – experience a true island paradise
Just north of Koh Lanta is Koh Jum, a much, much more relaxed island than Koh Phangan. Here you can experience a true paradise island with fantastic beaches and no nightlife or party.
There are only around ten different places to stay and they are all cheap and simple living style bungalows. The easiest way to get here is by boat from Krabi.
