A crescent-like white beach surrounded by the blue water shimmering under the sun. As the waves gently sway the water surface, the sea is divided into the distinct colors of light blue to green. This is Samui Island. There are many beaches with clear water and white sand. The scenery is very charming. There are plenty of water sports to choose from. Compared with Phuket, Samui Island has retained a more natural and simple atmosphere. Many celebrities have chosen to spend their honeymoon or holiday here, which demonstrates the charm of the island.Koh Samui · 86.5 km from Surat Thani

Andamanda Phuket Waterpark is located in Kathu area of central Phuket, a large waterpark themed around Thai mythology and Andaman sea legends, covering approx. 100,000 m². The park itself hides an original story: young Chaiya embarks on a journey to find five sacred items to awaken Naga, the island's guardian deity. Five themed zones - coral world, emerald forest, Naga jungle, Andaman bay and Naga park - correspond to different scenes from the story, with settings incorporating Sino-Portuguese architectural elements of old Phuket. The "treasure hunt" concept while playing in water makes it especially family-friendly. Thrill-seekers can head straight to Naga jungle: "Dragon's descendant" simulates near free-fall, "Naga rapids" allows side-by-side racing with friends, alongside "coiled cobra," "eagle slide," and "garuda flight" - totaling dozens of slides park-wide. Emerald forest features the iconic "angel slide" and uniquely shaped "Kinnaree flight." Andaman bay is an expansive artificial sea with waves reaching approx. 3 m high, bordered by white sand beaches. Aspiring surfers can try the "surfer challenge" wave simulator, while families with children can gather near "miracle lagoon" and "little reef" in coral world to await giant bucket dumps or float leisurely along the "lazy river" circling the atoll. The park also replicates Phang Nga's Tapu island, with a wave bar set on it; the sand bar's transparent acrylic infinity pool offers drinks with views of visitors zooming down the "angel slide" - both being popular photo spots. When tired, village restaurant serves local flavors like pad Thai, massaman curry and Phuket Hokkien noodles, alongside Italian and American dishes (optional). Private overwater villas or cabins overlooking the bay can also be rented as bases. Evenings often feature "Andamanda bay treasure cruise" based on mythological stories, with lights, sound effects and water displays worth staying for after dark. Reminders: popular slides see noticeable afternoon queues - try riding them right after opening; daytime ground gets hot - don't skip flip-flops and sunscreen; short walking distances between facilities make half to full-day visits comfortable. △ SuperWater facilities △Enjoy culinary experiences △Family-friendly funThailand · Phuket

Krabi is located at themouth of the Krabi River. Although the town is small, it retains a rich, authentic Southern Thai atmosphere and serves as a transit hub for popular destinations such as Ao Nang Beach, Railay Beach, Ko Lanta, and the Phi Phi Islands. The riverside area is a notable part of the town. The river is home to vast mangrove forests inhabited by groups of monkeys and various wildlife. Walking along the wooden boardwalks, you can see fiddler crabs busy on the mudflats. At the end of the boardwalk, you will find the town's iconic landmark, the Khao Khanap Nam, two limestone mountains facing each other across the river. You can take a long-tail boat from the pier to the caves beneath the mountains, where ancient human settlement ruins and rock paintings have been discovered, along with stalactites and stalagmites. The town features theKrabi Night Market, which is primarily known for its Southern Thai food stalls, along with handicraft vendors and live music performances, creating a lively atmosphere. A giant black crab sculpture stands by the riverbank, offering views of the Khao Khanap Nam and the mouth of theKrabi River. The Krabi Walking Street night market is held weekly and is a great place to experience local daily life, while strolling along the mangrove boardwalk is a popular way to relax in town.Thailand · Krabi Town

The atmosphere is very good. Suitable for walking, jogging, exercising. There are many exercise machines made of stainless steel, not rusty. It is the best outdoor exercise set I have ever seen.

Exactly as booked. We booked to feed the elephants and that's what we did, I was just a bit underwhelmed, not sure what I was expecting but maybe to last a little longer. We were offered a complimentary refreshment once finished. Amazing animals, which are clearly loved by the keepers at the sanctuary, my children had a lovely time, so I would certainly recommend this as a family activity whilst on Samui.

Hanuman World is definately a place to go to for half a day of fun. The best was the roller zipline. i thought it was safe and normal but it was exhilarating. half of the time i was hanging onto my dear life. The luge was fun too. for those who like to race with friends, the luge is a fun way to do it. If u have time, the unlimited rides would be very worth it. Being afraid of heights, the skywalk was the scariest for me.

I had an excellent day at Andamanda Phuket Waterpark. The park was beautifully designed, very clean and well maintained, with a great selection of slides, pools and attractions. There was something to enjoy throughout the entire day.I also booked a private Wave Cabana for the whole day, which was a great choice. It provided a comfortable and relaxing private space where I could rest between activities and keep my belongings safely nearby.The staff were friendly, helpful and professional, and the facilities were excellent. Everything was well organised, and the whole experience offered very good value for money. I had a fantastic time and highly recommend Andamanda to anyone visiting Phuket.

When go to Surat Thani night market and Bazaar, you can go to a few point of interest within walking distance. This market is beside the river, there are many beautiful flowers lined up along the pathway along the river with some beautiful lightings decorations. The night market is like any other night market in Thailand, but it is also near to Tapi bridge, go in the evening before sunset, you can get a glimpse of the sunset. Tapi bridge will light up at night. Opposite Tapi bridge is a Shrine which will change colours. Its a must to go there if you are in Surat Thani.

The show was incredible, food pretty average but huge selection, also Halal available. Not a fan of the elephants for rides and not sure how I feel about how they have been trained for the shows either...all the animals actually. Trapeze was the star of the show...still great show though
