Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Timing is crucial here. Those who arrive early on this small island behind Koh Larn will find crystal-clear, jade-green water, a clean sandy beach, and enough peace and quiet to reflect. However, if you arrive late in the morning, after the tour groups have departed, the island presents itself in a completely different light. This isn't meant to be a criticism of the island; it's simply how it is, and that's the most important tip for your trip.

A trip on a shared boat costs around 30 baht per person – an unbeatable price. Alternatively, private charter boats are available, for example from operators like Manta Marina, which offer full-day tours. The downside of private boats is that they all tend to crowd the same stretch of water. If you're not among the first, you'll end up sandwiched between other groups. Walking a little further than the dock usually allows you to find space. Bring a snorkel mask if you have one, as the water is so clear you can easily see the fish. It's still quieter there than on Koh Larn.
