Hotels in South Thailand, Thailand

South Thailand hugs the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, with a tropical climate that stays warm year-round (80-95°F / 27-35°C). The dry months from November to April are perfect for island-hopping between Phuket's limestone karsts and Koh Phi Phi's turquoise bays, or diving the coral gardens of the Similan Islands. If you visit during the rainy season from May to October, you'll find cheaper rooms in Krabi and can hike to waterfalls in Khao Sok National Park, exploring the Andaman coast's jungle without the crowds.
