Thailand is a travel country that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Island Escapes also organises long transfers to remote islands. The planner starts the island planning, and on a video call you clarify the details.

Overview
Karst cliffs rising vertically from the Andaman Sea and beaches that can only be reached by longtail boat: this is how the south of Thailand presents itself. Koh Jum is one of the quietest islands in the region, with a fishing village, rice fields and a beach without bars. Krabi offers the panorama of Railay and the Hong Islands, Phuket the widest choice of bays, including quiet stretches in the south-west. From November to April it is dry and warm, the sea stays calm.
Couples hire a boat for half a day, families swim in shallow bays before the children try fruit at the night market in the evening. Thai is the national language, in hotels you get by with English. For planning: Swiss citizens enter visa-free for up to 60 days as tourists. The entry requirements of the FDFA (EDA) are authoritative, and you should check them before booking.
The flight time is about 11 to 12 hrs. Cash remains important outside the large hotels, tipping is not compulsory but welcome. You clarify conveniently with Island Escapes by video call how much stillness you seek and which of the three coasts is suited to it.
