Pleasures of an Exotic Beach Holiday in Koh Samui and Hua Hin

More often than not, Thailand tours are all about visiting the buzzing resorts of Phuket and Pattaya, and the grand capital city of Bangkok. However, if you have a week or so at hand, clubbing the beach town of Koh Samui and Hua Hin with Bangkok could be an interesting choice. You can directly head to Koh Samui international airport from Mumbai or Delhi and subsequently return via Bangkok. Travelling from India allows you the privilege of getting a Thailand visa on arrival. You can ask your tour provider for more information on the documents to carry along.

Once you are in the beach resort of Koh Samui, here are some of the top destinations to explore.
