Things to see and do on Koh Sukorn: Koh Sukorn doesn't have any traditional monuments – the island itself is perfect for exploring and discovering. For example, you can hire a saleng (a local tuk-tuk) for a highly recommended 2.5- to 3-hour island tour (400 THB, last updated December 2025). Koh Sukorn is also wonderful to explore by bicycle, and the rides aren't very strenuous. There are only a few hills, except for the one to the viewpoint. You'll discover rice paddies, which are especially beautiful before the harvest (the harvest time varies from year to year, but rice cultivation generally takes place from July, when the seedlings are planted in the fields, until December, when the rice is harvested), as well as water buffalo, watermelon and rubber plantations, beaches, and much more. You can also arrange boat trips with your hotel to the neighboring islands of Koh Lao Liang or Koh Takieng, which have more beautiful beaches than the black or brown sand beaches of Koh Sukorn and offer turquoise waters.

Sights on Koh Sukorn: Rice paddies and scenery. My rating: 3/5 stars. The island's true charm and richness lie in its local agricultural life, which reminds me of Isan, the most rural region of Thailand. Cycling through the emerald-green rice paddies and encountering herds of buffalo is simply fantastic. We are on an island surrounded by farmland. That's the whole charm of Koh Sukorn! Koh Lao Liang (เกาะเหลาเหลียง). My rating: 4/5 stars. Koh Lao Liang is located directly opposite Koh Sukorn. This small, wild, rocky island has a more enchanting beach than the beaches of Koh Sukorn. You can stay overnight in the tents of the unique resort. Tourists usually rent a longtail boat for a day trip to Koh Lao Liang and often include Koh Phetra and possibly Koh Takieng in their itinerary. Koh Sukorn Viewpoint (จุดชมวิว เกาะสุกร): My rating: 3/5 stars. Although the name suggests it's the absolute highlight of the island, it's certainly interesting and worth a trip to Koh Sukorn. Personally, however, I prefer the views from the beaches on the east side of the island. Ban Tha Laem Pier (ท่าเรือบ้านท่าแหลม): My rating: 4/5 stars. This pier at the southern tip of Koh Sukorn offers a beautiful view of the beach and sea. Even though the view is rarely directly over the ocean, the sunset is worthwhile. It should definitely be included in an island tour (in my opinion, even more so than the viewpoint). Watermelon Beach My rating: 5/5 stars. This is the most famous beach on Koh Sukorn, an island known for its watermelons! Visitors don't come for the beach itself, but for the watermelon fields that line it. This is unusual and, to my knowledge, unique in Thailand.
