This viewpoint is located on a hill in the north of the island and offers a pretty, if not breathtaking, but still interesting view of the sea. Occasionally, a small sandbar juts out of the water. In my opinion, it should definitely be included in an island tour by tuk-tuk (or by bicycle, although it's a bit more strenuous, even if the road up isn't particularly steep; I've tried it myself). Alternatively, you can climb a little higher up the hillside on the other side of the road opposite the Koh Sukorn Viewpoint. The climb is a bit steep, but not very difficult, and the view is even better! You might think it's a nice spot to watch the sunset, but I personally prefer Ban Tha Laem Pier to enjoy the twilight. Especially since you can then stroll along Watermelon Beach and Ban Thung Beach.

The Koh Sukorn viewpoint is somewhat remote, far from any houses. I advise against going there at night, especially by bicycle.

To reach the Koh Sukorn viewpoint, a tuk-tuk tour as part of an island tour is recommended. Many tuk-tuk operators offer this service. The tour usually takes three hours and is very affordable. Alternatively, if you'd like to be more active, you can also rent bicycles. However, keep in mind that this part of the island is remote and sparsely populated. Therefore, avoid traveling in the evening to avoid traffic jams at night.
