Top tips
- Base yourself in Kata or Karon for a quieter stay than Patong.
- Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips are the highlights.
- Rent scooters only if you're licensed and insured.
- May–October is monsoon season with rough seas.
Before you go
- Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
- Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
- Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
