You can reach it by flying or taking a bus to Ranong where you can then get on a boat to reach this stunning island. Unlike the places in Koh Samui or Phuket, a trip to Koh Phayam is like going back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ao Yai is a stunning 2km long white sand beach where you can enjoy the islands without the looming amounts of tourists or vendors. The sunsets in this place are also incredible. Sit back, relax, and watch the sky turn into different shades of purple and pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How to Get Here: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koh Phayam is a 2-hour slow boat or a 30-40 minute speedboat ride from the pier of Ranong.

Yep, you heard me right. No fancy resorts or bars. Instead, you have the sand, the sea, and hopefully some sunshine. Apart from that, there is a small National Park which you can explore. Although this is an uninhabited island, it is still a popular day trip destination but it is nowhere as busy as Maya Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How to Get Here: <\/b>From Bangkok, you can easily catch a train to Surrathani before getting on a bus and boat to Ton Sai Pier, Phi Phi.

Although it is gaining more popularity, you can still find peaceful solace in this palm-fringed beach. The seabed is mostly sand making it an ideal place to swim. During the day there are some stalls selling cold refreshments and light snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Get There:<\/strong> From Bangkok, you can catch a bus directly to Phuket Bus Terminal. While you can get a train heading to Surrathani then catch another bus, the direct express buses are the best way to go by land.

In general, the<strong> rainy season<\/strong> runs from&nbsp;<strong>July to October<\/strong> and <strong>High Seasons&nbsp;<\/strong>runs from <strong>November to May<\/strong>. During High Season, expect prices to go up as there is a high demand for accommodation and tours. In terms of the beaches and islands, you can split it up into two areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">We personally love traveling during offseason as we can score good deals on accommodations but you have to be willing to be flexible with your travel plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Generally, during the low season (July-October), some islands shut down, marine parks are closed for rehabilitation, and the boat services aren\u2019t as consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Gulf of Thailand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">(Koh Samui, Koh Phan Ngan, Koh Tao, Hua Hin, Pranburi, Cha Am, Koh Chang)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Expect <strong>good weather<\/strong> from <strong>December to February<\/strong>. The weather is cool with light rain showers. During the months of March to May, the weather is scorching hot and is ideal for those that want sunshine all throughout their trip. June and July are good shoulder months except for the occasional one-hour downpours usually in the afternoon. August to November are the peak months for rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Andaman Sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>(Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi, Khao Lak, Koh Lanta)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The west coast of Thailand by the Andaman Sea gets its<strong> best weather<\/strong> from <strong>November to March<\/strong>. March and May can be quite hot but by the beginning of late May, you can expect random rain showers which peaks from September to October.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ultimate-guide-thailand-beaches-END-comp-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Thailand beach\" class=\"wp-image-22994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ultimate-guide-thailand-beaches-END-comp-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ultimate-guide-thailand-beaches-END-comp-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ultimate-guide-thailand-beaches-END-comp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ultimate-guide-thailand-beaches-END-comp-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ultimate-guide-thailand-beaches-END-comp.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Transport and Safety around the Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While getting to the islands is fairly easy, it all comes down to how much time you have.
