If you’re up for a jaunt, take a hike from the southern end of the main beach through the jungle interior of the island and end up at one of the smaller beaches like Sunset Beach or Ao Niang. However, it’s a small price to pay when you can snorkel right off the shore or lay on the white sand beach and peer out to the other islands on the horizon. Ko Kradan is located in a national park, so when you arrive expect to pay a fee of 3-12 USD.

To get to Ko Kradan, most boat trips will be done by longtail boat, not a speedboat, which can carry around four people. Its lack of roads, villages, or ATMs makes you almost feel like you’re on a deserted island. This island is uninhabited except for the owners and workers of its few resorts. One such island is Ko Kradan, a small bit of land known for its snorkeling and which was voted the 9th best beach in the world by readers of The Guardian newspaper in 2016. Ao Kham BeachĪccess: Located on the east side of Koh MukĪnother advantage of staying on Ko Muk is its proximity to numerous small islands which one might find too rustic to stay on, but too beautiful to stay entirely away from. This beach is also where you’ll find the start of one of the island’s hiking trails. It is named so because of its mango borders and its secluded setting. Just west of Ao Kham is a beach called Ao Kuan, also known as Jungle Beach. If you continue walking, you’ll find yourself in one of the island’s fishing villages, which are some of the few in Thailand which remained intact after the 2004 tsunami. The west beach has several resorts as well as houses built on stilts, giving you the feeling of walking through a neighborhood rather than strolling down the sand. Ao Kham is divided into the more typical east beach, Sivalai Beach, and the west beach. It’s the less touristy one of the island’s two most well-known beaches, with more locals living nearby, but the tourist influence has increased in recent years as more lodging has cropped up.

Though it looks like something created by a movie, Tham Morakot is actually the result of a sinkhole.

Once you emerge from the cave you will find yourself in a lush, sheltered beach with emerald green water gently lapping at the shore. It is important to go with a tour or a guide, because they will be sure that the tide is the right height for swimming, will provide life vests and a tow rope, and can ensure swimmers do not get pinned to the walls of the tunnel by a current. To enter the cave, visitors must enter the hidden entrance and swim through a small, dark passage. Also known as the Emerald Cave, visitors come on boat trips from miles around to experience this magnificent spot.
