I’d love to go back to see how it has changed. My week on Tonsai was one of my favorites in Thailand!

If you’re going for a two week honeymoon, I’d say why not go ahead and book it all ahead of time? Unless you’re hoping to have a lot of flexibility to change those plans, if you already know your route and your time constraints, I’d just go for it 🙂 In Tonsai specifically there is limited accommodation — in the cities you’d never be left without a room.

Hey Maria, honestly you can’t lose! Koh Tao is more about diving and nightlife, and Tonsai is more about rock climbing and scenery (though they have some nice nightlife there too!). Tonsai is definitely a bit less developed if that’s what you are looking for (if you are hoping to avoid seediness and Westernization, you might not love Koh Samui.) It’s really a personal choice, but the good news is you can’t go wrong! Hope that helps!

I definitely hope they hold off on the road… I love Railay the way it is! Welcome to Wanderland Paz and thanks for the lovely comment 🙂

This is my first time visiting your site. Love the layout and the format of the comments!

Railay is a special place, spent a week there & there’s really nothing like it. Part of what makes Railay so special is the difficulty in arriving. As you know, you can only get there via boat (usually long tail boat). I heard that the authorities are considering adding a road from Krabi which would make the destination more accessible but probably too crowded!

Awesome post, can’t wait to start digging around your blog & reading more 🙂

Hey Gemma, I definitely prefer the vibe of Tonsai to overdeveloped Ao Nang — and I highly recommend the hotel I wrote about in this post. How long depends on how much of a beach bum you are and how much rock climbing you’re interested in. I was there for five days, I believe, and I definitely never got bored. Enjoy!
