Hey everyone!

We’re a family of 5 planning our first trip to Thailand this March, and we’d love some advice! Our main goal is to enjoy the most beautiful, peaceful beaches while minimizing travel time as much as possible. We’re not into parties or nightlife—just looking for calm, nature, and stunning scenery.

Our Itinerary So Far:

✅ Bangkok – 2 nights (arrival + exploring)
✈️ Flight to Koh Samui (March 14)
✅ Koh Samui – 2 nights
⛴️ Ferry to Koh Tao
✅ Koh Tao – 3 nights
⛴️ Ferry + Transfer to Krabi
✅ Krabi – 4 nights
✅ Phuket – 1 night (before flying out)

Our Questions:

1. Should we add Koh Lanta? We've heard it has a more relaxed vibe, but would it be worth the extra travel time?
2. In Krabi, should we stay in Railay or Ao Nang? We’re looking for the most stunning and quiet beaches, with easy access to boat trips and nature.
3. Where should we stay in each place? We’d love recommendations for the best areas (or even specific resorts/hotels) that offer a peaceful experience away from the crowds.

Would really appreciate any tips on where to go, where to stay, and any must-visit hidden gems! Thanks in advance! 🙏✨
