In summer, when the west coast of Thailand's peninsula is the rainy season, the east coast — Koh Samui and nearby islands — is much sunnier and drier. This itinerary is specially recommended to those whose want a unique and relaxing Thailand island tour in summer, which is the best time to tour charming Koh Samui.
It is a trip of tropical beaches, natural wonders, island cuisine, and joyful entertainment. Nice accommodation and worry-free transfers, a few days' island hopping, and some free days are provided. All you need to do is fully enjoy a well-arranged holiday.

Top Notch Services
Kaya at Asia Highlights helped make our honeymoon in Thailand the perfect trip. It was truly the best balance between structured and unstructured time abroad. They cater their services to exactly what you're looking for. Also, their responsiveness is uncanny. Kaya at Asia Highlights in particular deserves special mention. She out our trip together for us, put up with us, and was always available for any hiccups during the trip. We plan to use their excellent services again for our next trip to Asia. Highly recommended, and ask for Kaya! More

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More
