So what holds you back to book a flight to Phuket, Krabi or Hat Yai ? Those 3 mentioned Thailand holiday destinations have a international airport, international flights to Hat Yai are presently only by Tiger Airways out of Changi Airport Singapore. 

Krabi, Trang and Phang Nga

are perfect for secluded holiday far away from anywhere but with the all the add of of a modern life if required. Ranong is the least populated province in Thailand offering beaches, islands and plenty of green. Phuket is probably the first stop via Phuket flights from Bangkok Airport, Singapore Changi Airport and abroad, every day now (2011) two or three jumbos from Russia dock at Phuket Airport, Krabi flights are less, Hat Yai flights come in from Singapore Changi by Tiger Airways and Trang Thailand is reachable from anywhere in Thailand and via international flight through Krabi Airport.

Almost every bigger south Thailand hotels or resort has internet service all Thailand hotels are at your fingertip, never book at Thailand accommodation at the Bangkok airport or Phuket airport hotel counter this will cost you normally around 50% more than regular.

As you can see at the south Thailand map (right picture) the south of Thailand stretches over a long distance, e.g. the Bangkok to Phuket bus takes 12 hours over about 900 km and from Phuket to the Thailand Malaysian border further south its another 600km via

Krabi, Trang and Hat Yai. In south Thailand is also the third biggest nightlife center, its Phuket nightlife. From anywhere in the country its easy to

hop on a bus e.g. from Bangkok to Phuket

or Bangkok to Krabi alternative use the aircraft, most of other destinations are easely reachable.

From Bangkok airport flights to Phuket, flights to Krabi, Trang, Hat Yai, Koh Samui and Ranong are several every day. If you are on your first holidays to Phuket Thailand it might be useful to explore Thailand holiday packages. Keep in mind that all transportation to south Thailand from elsewhere in Thailand north of Bangkok or Pattaya, Koh Chang etc. goes through Bangkok.

Off the southern Thailand west coast close to the border with Malaysia is the Tarutao  archipelago with Ko Tarutao, Ko Lipe and other exotic islands. Malaysia's Langkawi island is not far to the south and Penang is reachable by a motorway from the Thailand Malaysian border or a ferry from Langkawi.

Beach accommodations on one of the islands in the Phang Nga Bay, Krabi islands, Trang archipelago, Ko Tarutao, Similan archipelago or Surin islands ?

Some scuba diving adventures

in Thailand's Andaman Sea via a scuba day trip from Phuket or liveaboard on a yacht, jump into the emerald waters and have a look for the sting ray or whale shark either on the Andaman Sea Thai side or Myanmar Andaman Sea a little bit further north with some nostalgic dreams about British colonial times at Kawthaung, the former Victoria Point or Myeik the former Mergui with a incredible imperial British, Portuguese and Chinese  legacy since about the 16. Century, its all there and not much has changed. On the Thai side of the Myanmar Thailand sea border is Ranong the biggest harbor on Thailand's west coast used mainly for fish trawler.
