The simplest way to escape the tourist trail and see what life is like in the real Thailand is to stay in a homestay. Andaman Discoveries runs one of the country's best organised programmes, born out of the North Andaman Tsunami Relief fund, which places visitors in homes on a rotational basis to spread the benefits around the villages along the Andaman coast. Activities include guided hiking, mangrove tours and snorkelling before returning to your host family early evening for a slap up meal of freshly caught seafood and home-cooked southern curries.
