Mainland coast with limestone cliffs and a hundred islands within reach.

What is good
- Its own airport and a road connection — no ferry needed
- Cheaper than Phuket for the same sea
- The closest base for Phi Phi, Lanta and the Hong islands
- Rock climbing at Railay is among the best anywhere
What to be ready for
The choice of villas is far smaller than on Phuket, and a large hospital or shopping centre is a longer drive.
Who it suits
Those who come for the landscape and boat trips rather than town life.
Season
Dry from November to April, the same as Phuket.
Getting there
Its own airport; two and a half hours by road from Phuket.
No property here yet. That does not change what the place is like.
