When choosing your holiday destination Sun, Sea and Sand are usually high on the agenda. European destinations tend to attract masses of visitors in there summer months of May to September. As the cold winter weather draws in, tourists looking for hot climates have to cast there net further afar.

So when looking to escape the wet and cold of Europe, Thailand and it’s tropical islands and resorts will offer unrivaled sun and relaxation for those looking to get away. Surrounded by the glorious waters of the Gulf of Thailand and famed for it’s diversity of jungle and beach life the island of Samui makes for the perfect getaway.

It’s hard to believe that only 30 years ago there wasn’t even a road and the bulk of the island consisted of dense Jungle in between it’s idyllic beaches. Travelers would spend days on end getting from one part of the island to the next. Since then a rapid development in tourism has seen an influx of luxury five star resorts, shopping mall’s, cocktail bars and restaurants serving only the finest cuisines. This once backpackers haven may have managed to retain a small amount of it’s original identity, but the majority of the island has transformed into an international holiday attraction for all that visit.

Thailand’s second island now has over 1.5 million visitors coming to it’s shores every year and with continued development happening on the island every day that number is only expected to grow further.

Just a short boat ride away and part of the Archipelago lies the bohemian island of Koh Phangan. Famed for it’s full moon parties, beautiful beaches and backpacker culture Phangan has not seen the same kind development of it’s nearby neighbour. Attracting a younger and less family orientated crowd the island remains very popular with backpackers on extended holidays or gap years from their educational commitments.
