My intention was to tour the southern coast of the Andaman Sea to get to know the less touristy islands of this paradise of beaches in southern Thailand. I wanted to experience them in all their intensity and let myself be carried away by their relaxed atmosphere. I was fleeing from the best known as Phuket or Phi-Phi, already destroyed and overcrowded by tourism. Therefore, the chosen ones were: Koh Lipe, Koh Tarutao, Koh Kradam, Railay and Koh Chang.

Koh Lipe is the most visited island in the archipelago. Four beaches surround Koh Lipe. The two largest, Sunrise and Pattaya, delimit the island atmosphere in which one lives barefoot from morning to night.

Koh Tarutao, the largest island in this protected natural area, where the headquarters of the marine park is located, the most important and best preserved marine reserve in Thailand.

Koh Kadran is considered the most beautiful of the islands that are part of the Hat Chao Mai National Marine Park. It is well known for its annual underwater weddings.

RaiLay from Krabi, another tourist spot not as well-known as Phuket, but that I wanted to see with my own eyes, since they told me that it was very similar to Palawan in the Philippines.

Koh Chang, covered by jungle, but all the beaches are interconnected by pedestrian paths.
