Southern Thailand Travel Guide

Southern Thailand includes many of Thailand's most famous resorts on both the west-facing Andaman Sea coastline, and the east-facing Gulf of Thailand coast south of Chumphon. Located on the Malay Peninsula, Southern Thailand is bounded to the north by Kra Isthmus as the narrowest part of the peninsula. The western part has steeper coasts, while on the east side river plains dominate.

Smaller rivers include the Pattani, Saiburi, Krabi and the Trang.
