Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and with good reason. Its tourism scene thrives on its ancient temples, pristine beaches, and bustling markets offering mouth-watering Thai delicacies. But Bangkok, Pattaya, Krabi, and Phuket are not the only places to visit. For your next trip (or your first trip to Thailand), avoid these touristy places and visit the truly hidden gems that travel companies won’t tell you about. Don’t worry about traveling within Thailand, as you can get bus, ferry, or air tickets from Siam Tickets

Escape tourist crowds on Koh Adang, one of the largest islands of the Adang Archipelago and Koh Lipe’s secret sister. Adang is largely untouched and unspoiled by mass tourism.

So, if you are an adventurer seeking peace, Koh Adang is waiting for you with open arms. 

If you plan to stay overnight, bring your camping gear and tent or rent one from the national park. Don’t forget your camping gear!
