What's an beautiful island! There is not only white sand, clean and clear water but also the fresh atmosphere by National Park. Many kind of transportations such as songthaew, motorbike, bicycle. It's easy for guests to find a restaurant, coffee shop, convenience store or souvenir shop. Visitors can come to the resort to see the firework show at night. Seeing the sunrise and sunset also nice activities! There are many big dogs in the island, which're very friendly. Let's try to have breakfast with coffee and cake in the seaside!

It'd better to rent the motorbike and discover the highlighted areas such as Sunset/sunrise areas,many beaches around the islands . By night, enjoy the night life with minibar, Fire show at Sai Kaew Beach. Seafood can be found everywhere. Nightlife activities for squid fishing.

The beaches are fantastic. The main beach Sai Kaew is where I spent most of my time. The water was extremely clear, the beaches had amazing sand, and they were pretty clean when I visited (Mid September, 2020). I went during the week, Sunday - Wednesday, so it wasn't too busy, mostly Thai folks visiting from the city. So a chill atmosphere all around. Prao beach is beautiful as well and has nice accommodations along it. Definitely, definitely rent a scooter when you visit. It takes maybe 20-30 minutes depending on your speed to traverse the length of the island. It just makes it a lot easier to get around, of course. I'll be back when I can. That being said, if you stay near Sai Kaew, then there are plenty of bars, restaurants, massage shops, etc. to visit, all within a 10 minute walking distance.

Very beautiful beaches, clear blue sea. Getting around can be a bit difficult but if you stand on the main road during most of the day you can flag down a songtaew and if you are sharing it with other people it is 50 baht flat rate for the trip. The electricity was a problem on the island, the port was very chaotic, and restaurants were very expensive, more so than their islands in Thailand. But overall it was a lovely trip.

I like the atmosphere of this Island...western coast is very peaceful and beaches are very nice. Already went there during Christmas time but on the eastern coast...was full of tourists and less pleasant!

Get the fast Ferry for 150 Baht not the 60 Baht Boat which is a bit scary in Choppy Waters.. Hire a Moped otherwise you'll be at the mercy of the Robbing gits driving the Songtows. (300 Baht for a 5 minute journey!) Mozzy spray essential. Stay in Sai Keaw or walking distance from it.Everywhere else is too isolated without a Moped. Hundreds of Stray Dogs...be aware.
