Bottle Beach Viewpoint, otherwise known as Phasawan Viewpoint, offers (arguably) the most iconic vista on the island of Koh Phangan. Getting here is part of the adventure as you ride your scooter across the island, head down dirt roads surrounded by leaning palm trees, and hike into thick jungle before scrambling onto a huge rock perched above the beach.

Ang Thong National Marine Park is one of Thailand’s most pristine natural environments, home to no less than 42 island gems. There are no towns or resorts to be found here - just limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and small pockets of white sand beach. The scenery feels rugged and untouched, but it’s still accessible on a day trip from Koh Samui (which sits 30 km’s away).

Experience Koh Samui without the rush. This 3-day itinerary ensures you hit all the major highlights - from Ang Thong National Marine Park to Overlap Stone - with time to relax on the island's best beaches and explore local life.

Certain places in Thailand seem too perfect to be true and Nang Yuan Island is one of them. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, right by Koh Tao, this tiny trio of islands is known for its white sandbars, turquoise waters and boulders stacked around its shores. The best part about Nang Yuan Island is its protected status, which helps keep the island pristine all year round.
