Which tropical beach island area is best for mid January for a couple?
So I have a January trip for Thailand booked with flights.
After chiang Mai I intend to hit up a beach island area.
My research indicated in January the Andaman Sea coast is better for me due to weather conditions.
My wife and I lover scenic views, good food, beach vibes with lovely blue turquoise water, and nice accommodation. We don’t care about nightlife but also don’t want to be in the boonies being too far for civilization at night.
I have been focusing on the Phuket and krabi areas (I know it’s everything I describe I didn’t want, but given the time of year thought it’s best area) but don’t want to totally discount the gulf coast yet.
I have 6 nights for the tropical beach areas and would like to know what is recommended.
I want to split 3 nights each in 2 hotels in which ever areas you guys help decide. This is for a couple btw.
Please help, Thailand has too many options lol. Not even AI can help me break this down. Thanks!
Btw this is my first trip to Thailand and South east Asia for that matter
