Thailand
Dreamscape Islands, Vibrant Reefs and Holiday Towns
Thailand Overview
You've seen it on travel posters, magazine pages and screen savers, but didn't know where. The scene takes in towering limestone monoliths that become bookends for a perfect crescent of white sand and a bay filled with water that seems to shimmer in enticing shades of sapphire and emerald. Those are Thailand's Phi Phi islands, just one of many scenic treasures that grace the coasts of the country's southern peninsula. Whether you come for the solitude of remote coastal villages, the chromatic splendor of the coral reefs or the holiday vibe of beach towns like Phuket, Thailand is sure to enthrall the senses.
Diving
Drift a wall where marine life lurks in hidden caves. Come face to face with whale sharks. Swim through massive schools of barracuda clouds of tropical fish. Search for small treasures such as shovelnose rays, seahorses, pipefish and cuttlefish. Photograph a giant clam or pose in a grove of super-sized sea fans.
