Southern Thailand includes many of Thailand's most famous
resorts on both the west-facing Andaman Sea coastline,
and the east-facing Gulf of Thailand coast south of Chumphon.
South - hundreds of kilometers of coastline and countless
islands on both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand,
plus Phuket, Krabi, Ko Samui, Ko Tao and many more of
Thailand's famous beach spots
Parts of the west coast of Thailand were hit hard by the
Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, but all infrastructure
has long since been repaired and it takes a careful eye
to spot any remaining damage.
