Sights and activities on Koh Ngai: Aside from Paradise Beach, which can be reached after a half-hour walk through the forest, there isn't much to see on Koh Ngai itself. However, snorkeling trips or relaxing on the beaches of the neighboring islands are excellent options. Of course, you can also visit the famous Emerald Cave on Koh Mook, which isn't far away, or take a boat trip to Koh Rok.

Sights on Koh Ngai: Emerald Cave (ถ้ำมรกต ทะเลตรัง) My rating: 5/5 stars. This cave is located on the island of Koh Mook, not far from Koh Ngai, and opens onto a beautiful beach. The easiest way to reach it from Koh Kradan is by longtail boat, which can be rented directly on the beach. Paradise Beach (หาดพาราไดซ์) My rating: 4/5 stars. This beach, significantly quieter and often even unknown to tourists coming to Koh Ngai, offers an atmosphere that, while not quite as postcard-perfect – especially the water, which is less turquoise – is all the more relaxing. The journey through the jungle to get there, followed by a walk on the beach with a meal or relaxation at the resort's beach bar, makes the experience a wonderful adventure!
