Koh Libong Travel Guide: Koh Libong is the largest island in the Trang Peninsula and also one of the less visited. While its beaches are slightly less picturesque than those of Koh Kradan or Koh Ngai—the sand is more ochre and the sea a little less turquoise, as it's often busier there—the island boasts other attractions such as its mountains and mangroves. Unlike the other two islands, Koh Libong also offers an authentic, local life shaped by a Muslim community whose inhabitants primarily make their living from fishing. Tourism is only a secondary source of income for the residents of Koh Libong. The island does not want mass tourism. Koh Libong is known for its dugongs, also called "sea cows." This protected marine mammal species resembles dolphins, although their body shape is less elegant. I'm no zoologist, but they remind me of seals with dolphin tails. Dugongs can be easily observed from a longtail boat if you travel a short distance away from the island. All information on getting around Koh Libong can be found in our section "Getting Around Koh Libong".

Accommodation on Koh Libong: There aren't many hotels and bungalow resorts on Koh Libong. Most are located on Haad Lang Kao Beach in the west of the island, where swimming is good – though not at low tide. Expect to pay at least 1000 THB per night. The only hotel with a swimming pool on Koh Libong is the Andalay Resort. The other accommodations offer basic comfort, but not a particularly high standard. If you're looking for luxury on Koh Libong, the Andalay Resort is the only option! A motorbike taxi ride from the pier to Lang Kao Beach costs 100 THB. There are also guesthouses inland, but they are not numerous. Without renting a scooter (you'll need an international motorcycle license), your mobility will be quite limited. Be careful during the off-season (May to October) and check whether the resorts are open before you arrive! Find accommodation on Koh Libong.

Practical information about Koh Libong: Boats to Koh Libong depart from Hat Yao Pier, about 50 kilometers from Trang. There are two ATMs on Koh Libong: one near the pier in Ban Phrao and one in the village near the Leekpai Bridge. However, there is no currency exchange. Therefore, it is best to bring enough cash in Thai Baht to cover your expenses. During the off-season (mid-May to October), tourism, which is already low during the high season, has almost completely ceased.

How do you get to Koh Libong? To get to Koh Libong, first head to Hat Yao Pier, about 50 kilometers from Trang. Boats depart from there to the island. The crossing takes only about 20 minutes. Due to COVID-19, speedboat services from Koh Ngai, Koh Lanta, Koh Kradan, Koh Lipe, or Koh Phi Phi are severely limited. From Trang, you can book minivan and boat packages: minivan to Hat Yao Pier and boat to Koh Libong. I recommend the travel agency opposite Trang train station, but you may also be able to book through your hotel reception. If you want to return to Trang after your stay on Koh Libong, book your return ticket on the same day you bought your ticket to Koh Libong. There is no longer a minivan station or company at Hat Yao Pier. [arrow_circle_right] See all ways to get to Koh Libong

What's the best way to get around Koh Libong? You can get around Koh Libong by motorbike taxi (tuk-tuk). A ride across the island usually costs 100 THB. You'll need these tuk-tuks right after arrival to get from the pier in Baan Phrao village, where boats dock, to your accommodation. Most boats are located on Lang Kao beach. Since the island is quite large, renting a scooter is also recommended (you'll need an international driver's license with a motorcycle license for this). Most resorts offer scooter rentals.
