koh tao or koh phi phi

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

If you're female, young, blond and attractive, I'd avoid Koh Tao.
You could be next.

Of the two options then Ko Tao. But if you want nature, swimming & not too much nightlife then choose Ko Lanta or somewhere else. It has some beautiful, quiet beaches and more of a local feel.

You can also find some quiet beaches on Ko Tao if you travel away from the touristy areas, nearly impossible on Phi Phi.
