1. TRANG PROVINCE, THAILAND
The domain of the chao leh sea gypsies, Thailand’s southern province of Trang feels a million miles away from the hulking resorts of Phuket. Hire a colourful longtail boat and putter out to the crystalline tidewaters of Ko Kradan, the secret Emerald Cave on Ko Muk, and the claimable limestone verticals on the twin islets of Ko Lao Liang.
