If there's one thing I particularly love about Koh Sukorn, it's cycling through the rice paddies and past the island's water buffalo. Discovering such a rural idyll on an island is simply wonderful! The little cement paths winding through the fields are delightful, and the green of the rice plants against the backdrop of palm trees and the beach offers breathtaking panoramas. I highly recommend exploring Koh Sukorn by bicycle or motorbike. All the resorts rent two-wheelers for the day. Besides the rice paddies, you can visit the village of Ban Samai near the pier and buy a delicious little locally grown watermelon (20-30 baht), hike to the viewpoint, admire the long Tonsai Beach, and cycle through rubber or banana trees… A wonderful excursion on a rural island that has retained its charm.

Please note that the rice harvest typically takes place in late November or early December. To fully appreciate the scenery, a trip in November is recommended. However, please be aware that most accommodations on Koh Sukorn close before November 1st, as there are no tourists on the island during the off-season (May to November).

Since Ko Sukorn is quite small, you can easily explore the island in a few hours by taking time to stop at a beach or admire the scenery.
