Southern Thailand is one of the best regions in the country for a diverse itinerary: tropical beaches, lush jungle, quiet coastal towns and island hopping all in one trip. Khanom, home of Le Petit Saint Tropez, is perfectly positioned in the middle of this region and serves as an ideal stop between Phuket, Krabi, Khao Sok National Park and the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Its location makes travel smooth, flexible and far less crowded than the major tourist routes.
Two airports are located nearby, making Khanom extremely easy to include in any route. Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport (NST) is the closest, only about one hour and 10 minutes from the resort and perfect for flights from Bangkok. Surat Thani Airport (URT) is similarly close about one hour and 25 minutes and ideal for travellers heading to or from the Gulf islands, with ferries departing from Donsak Pier just 25 minutes away.
This makes Khanom a natural connection point between the mainland and the islands.
Travellers starting on the west coast often reach Khanom after exploring Phuket or Krabi. The journey across Southern Thailand is beautiful and surprisingly efficient. Many itineraries follow the route Phuket → Khao Lak → Khao Sok → Khanom, or Krabi → Khao Sok → Khanom. After the jungle activities in Khao Sok, the quiet beaches of Khanom offer the perfect balance of relaxation and comfort before continuing to the islands.
For those travelling from Koh Samui, Khanom is even closer. The speed-ferry takes around 45 minutes to Donsak Pier, followed by a short 25 minutes drive to the resort. From Koh Phangan, the connection is just as easy, with a one and a half hour speed-ferry and the same quick transfer. This makes Khanom a great alternative for travellers who prefer calm, natural beaches while staying close to the islands.
Because of its accessibility, tranquility and central location, Khanom fits effortlessly into 10-, 12- or 14-day Southern Thailand itineraries. A popular route is: start in Phuket or Krabi, explore Khao Sok National Park, unwind for several days at Le Petit Saint Tropez in Khanom, and finish your trip on Koh Samui or Koh Phangan. This itinerary offers a perfect mix of adventure, nature and quiet luxury.
Le Petit Saint Tropez is located directly on one of southern Thailand’s most peaceful beaches, far from mass tourism but close to every major connection you may need.
Whether you fly into Surat Thani or Nakhon Si Thammarat, arrive from Phuket or Krabi, or travel from the islands, reaching our resort is simple and stress-free.
