Frequently Asked Questions
Nowhere — there is no pier. The ship anchors offshore and tenders land passengers at a wooden jetty or directly on the sand. That absence of infrastructure tells you everything about the island, which has stayed clear of mainstream Thai tourism.
In Trat province, in the Gulf of Thailand, close to the Cambodian border. The island has few roads, no town, and dense jungle running down to the beaches. Small-ship lines have made it a favoured stop on their Gulf of Thailand itineraries.
Those on the west coast: Khlong Chao curves beneath leaning coconut palms, while Ao Tapao and Ao Phrao offer calm water, ideal for a long swim or a paddle along the shore. Depending on the landing point, the swimming sometimes starts steps from the tender.
Yes, and it is one of the particular pleasures of this call. Klong Chao waterfall, the best known, drops into a wide deep pool where you swim among vines and polished rock; a short shaded path leads there, walkable in sandals.
Yes, quieter ones: Huang Nam Keaw and Klong Yai Kee reward anyone willing to walk a little longer under the tall trees, in the din of cicadas. They take more effort and receive far fewer visitors.
Alternate shade and warm water, swim, paddle a kayak along the shore, walk up to Klong Chao waterfall, then eat grilled fish with your feet in the sand. This is a call to savour rather than to tour.
A fishing village on the island’s northeast side, its stilt houses standing over a bay full of brightly painted boats. Crab and shrimp are eaten there as close to the source as it gets: the island’s best meal, for anyone willing to leave the beaches.
By scooter or pickup taxi, on concrete roads winding between coconut groves, rubber plantations and hamlets. You can cross the island end to end in under an hour without meeting a single traffic light or shopping centre — a deliberate choice by the islanders.
Yes, it is essential. The currency is the Thai baht and ATMs are scarce on the island. Come ashore with cash: small beach restaurants and kayak rentals do not always take cards.
November to April, during the dry season, when the sea is at its clearest and calmest. The rest of the year the monsoon makes anchoring and tendering considerably less predictable.
