Koh Toa, Koh Phanang or Koh Samui????

I%26#39;m heading to Thailand in July for 2 weeks i want to spend some time on a beach probably around a week or even longer. Where out of Koh Toa, Koh Phanang or Koh Samui do people recommend? Im not looking for tourist trap areas, however im aware that this may be hard to avoid.



Is Koh Toa too small to keep entertained for 10 days? Which island offers the most diversity?





Any advise would be helpful





Koh Toa, Koh Phanang or Koh Samui????


Koh Tao is recognised as the dive island of Thailand. Excellent snorkelling as well.





Koh Phangan is very pretty and my choice for the gulf side, however you need to be aware that it is the location of the full moon parties once per month. This may or may not be a positive for you. Why not split your time between the two.





We have some pics and stories of our trip to the islands during June/July here... www.bobandjanette.com which may help.





Happy %26amp; safe travels



Koh Toa, Koh Phanang or Koh Samui????


I would definitely do Ko Phangan.. you can find quieter beaches such as Thong Nai Pan Noi (Star huts is great!) which is away from the craziness of the Full Moon Party .. although you can still attend if its on and you want to... and do day trips to the other two islands...





Plenty to do to keep you amused... from KPN its not far to either island and KPN has plenty of stuff for you to do anyway if you don%26#39;t wanna leave the island.





Have a look at my travel blogs for photos/ideas: www.travelblog.org/bloggers/reet

Thanks for your advice guys. I will look into all options and look at all the pretty photos. Seems though that basing myself on Koh Phanang and then day tripping to the other islands might be the go.
