The islands in the Gulf of Thailand are dreamy paradise escapes appearing as tiny specs in the stunning turquoise waters of the ocean. With their lush jungles and divine beaches, Ko Samui is by far the most naturally beautiful and most famous of all the islands in the Gulf. Koh Samui’s stunning natural beauty has not gone unnoticed, and the result is large-scale development and tourists on package holidays from all over the world. Fortunately, there are a number of less famous islands in the Gulf of Thailand that also offer stunning beaches with a more laid-back atmosphere.
