How can you cover the best of Southern Thailand in just two weeks? We find out from @worldpitou in this reel.
Spend the first night in Phang Nga, followed by a night in lakeside accommodation at Khao Sok. Then base yourself at the beach paradise of Krabi for a full four nights, giving you time to explore the stunning neighbouring islands. Next, it’s onto Koh Lanta for two nights and Koh Mook for another two (be sure to fit in trips to the Emerald Cave and Koh Kradan). The next three nights can be spent in Koh Lipe, before spending your final night in Hat Yai.
