In the southern Gulf, Thailand's second largest island has a cute airport to go with most of the same types of made-for-tourism attractions and lodgings that are found on Phuket.

Refresh at any of three mid-size waterfalls, including the easy to reach Na Muang. View the hulking statues of Hindu and Buddhist icons at Wat Phlai Laem and Wat Phra Yai. Be entertained by Spark Circus, and finish up with a stroll through the eclectic night market in the Fisherman's Village of Bophut.

High life in Bangkok, City of Angels, jetting on to Koh Samui to be pampered in a hideaway hotel before island hopping to Koh Phangan where your barefoot luxury is a Thailand boutique hotel set beside a perfect crescent bay.

On our Barefoot luxury holiday in Thailand you’ll quickly realise there really is such a thing as paradise. The islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Siam are beach holiday perfection. They are the kind of places where you can imagine Man Friday running around on the pure white sand in his loincloth. And if you swap the loin cloth for this season’s Orlebar Browns you’re perfectly kitted out. As they say in Thailand, ‘same same but different’ – same setting different outfit. This is a luxury Thailand holiday that will deliver for even the most discerning of Yonderers.

And Thailand consistently delivers both.
