In this Thailand road trip from Bangkok to Phuket, exploring what is often called the Thailand Riviera. Which includes beautiful beaches, coastal towns, national parks, luxury resorts, and hidden gems along Thailand's Gulf Coast and Andaman Sea. Our Thailand travel adventure begins in Bangkok, where we take a taxi south to Hua Hin, one of Thailand's most popular beach destinations. From Hua Hin, we continue to peaceful Pran Buri for two nights before visiting Kui Buri National Park to see wild elephants in their natural habitat. Next, we explore Prachuap Khiri Khan, a scenic coastal town surrounded by mountains and beaches, before traveling south to Chumphon, where we stay in beachfront bungalows overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Our journey continues to Ranong, near the Myanmar border, before crossing toward Thailand's stunning Andaman Coast. We visit Phang Nga, known for its dramatic limestone mountains and tropical scenery, and enjoy a stay at a Marriott resort. Finally, we arrive in Phuket, ending our epic Thailand road trip at famous Patong Beach. Discover Thailand beyond the typical tourist destinations, including scenic highways, authentic Thai towns, wildlife encounters, and beautiful coastal landscapes.
