resha Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Hello! I've been in Thailand for 2 months for now. I've spent this time on Samui and now I want to move to more (much more) quite island not crowded by tourists too much. I've already read about places like Bulon Lae and Turatao. And I liked what I've read. The major problem is that I do need eletricity and Internet connection 24/7 as I'm programmer. Besides, it would be great if there will be a couple of 7-elevens and ATMs on island. So, these are parameters for island I'm looking for: - not so crowded by tourists (not Samui, Phuket, Chang, Lanta, Summet); - with Internet access; - with minimart(s); - with ATM(s); - island would be great (but isn't a must) - Andaman sea would be great (but isn't a must) as I never been to Indian ocean Could anyone recommend me any island that is like my island-of-dream-for-now, please? If someone knows seaside-regions (not islands) that is like the island I've described, it would be great too Thanks Edited January 15, 2012 by resha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebrian Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Try Koh Phayam, just a trip by ferry or speedboat from Ranong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Jean Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Samui, did that too and left because i wanted less crowded and without the bs. Ban Krut did it for me, quiet, nice beach, friendly locals, nice market, few minimarts, prachuap and huahin not too far for a visit. Not fo reverybody, because it can be too quiet. In Bangkok now, but waiting to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Bangkok now, but waiting to go back. Ban Kruit is for sure great. One of my favorites: http://www.rachavadee.com/ And lots of places south of there that don't show up on the internet. Hard to find them, you need a car: http://www.bansaithong.com/index.php http://www.thailandbeach.com/ I like this area also, just across from Samui, very quiet and several good hotel options: http://pleasenotanothertravelblog.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/khanom-beaches-and-sichon-beaches/ You might try Khao Lak. Very nice. Also, there's a few beaches on Phuket north of Bang Tao that are interestingly enough, fairly quiet. I like Nai Yang, but have heard Mai Kao is beautiful and unpopulated.
