Thailand can be like many other places around the world: overrun with visitors.
Yet this country holds numerous surprises and is home to hidden gems at the heart of nature, discreet, even secret. In reference to the film “Cast Away”, a selection of islands gives travellers the chance to let time take its course and live at nature’s pace. Lounging on white sand beaches, feet in the sun under the Thai light.
Here is an invitation to contemplate a paradisiacal world through a selection of five off-the-beaten-track islands.
For a deeper discovery of this string of islands, Bénédicte can advise you and share her knowledge of this remote region.
