Ko Chang
Located in eastern Thailand, this island has seen a lot of development in recent years but luckily it is still relatively deserted. It’s one of the best islands in all of Thailand, which considering Thailand has hundreds, is saying a lot. Blue water and white sand beaches ring the island and as a bonus it has a milder monsoon season than other places.

Perenthian islands
Located off the eastern coast of Malaysia, this pair of islands is idyllic. White sand beaches, clear skies, crystal blue water. It’s the perfect place to set up a hammock and will have you wondering if you entered a postcard.

Bali
Bali is a major tourist destination for people going to Indonesia and is one of the most popular islands in the world. There’s good reason for it- you can do everything here. Surf, sun, scale a mountain, visit temples, see Balinese dancers- it’s all here, it’s all cheap, and all beautiful.
