Thailand

Island Escape

Thailand’s islands, chosen with you — the Andaman coast on one side, the Gulf on the other. We keep enough days open that you can stay put once you find the right bay.

The itinerary

Written after the conversation.

There is no day-by-day on this page, because there is not one yet. We write it once we know your dates, who is coming, and how long you want at each stop — and you read it before anything is held.

  1. 01

    Tell us the shape of the journey

    Dates, budget, who’s coming, and the things you’d rather skip. A phone call is often quicker than email.

  2. 02

    A draft in two working days

    An outline with hotels, driving times, and a price that includes everything we’ve listed.

  3. 03

    Refine it, then we book

    Two or three rounds of changes, usually. Then we hold the rooms and send the final documents.

When to travel

When to travel, explained.

Thailand's best months are November to April. The window follows the country's own weather rather than a single rule for the region, and it is a guide to the best part of the year, not a forecast. Outside it the country does not close, but its weather stops being uniform: one part is usually still worth the journey while another is not.

For this country

Thailand has two coasts with different weather, and this window is the Andaman one: November to April. The Gulf islands keep their own clock and are wetter at the edges of it, so where the journey goes should follow when it can travel.
