Hi everyone!
Which islands do you think are the most beautiful for island hopping in Thailand? As a solo female traveler in my 30s, I’m not sure whether to choose the route
Bangkok ➔ Koh Chang ➔ Koh Kood ➔ Bangkok ➔ back home, OR
Phuket ➔ Krabi ➔ Koh Lipe ➔ Koh Phi Phi ➔ Phuket ➔ Bangkok ➔ back home. I will be there for 14 to 21 days. I'm not sure yet, as it depends on my travel route. I might also remove some stops from the second route.
Which one would you recommend or which one did you like better?
I’d be very grateful for your help, as I probably need to book soon :). Would be great to hear something from people who have visited the Islands in the north-east and the Islands in the south already.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
