Visitor Reviews

Hidden gem in phuket 🏝️, white sand & crystal clear water. Not too crowded and there's so many activities to do. Our program includes hotel pick up&drop off and round trip transfer boat, snorkeling and kayaking for only 2000 baht per person. 15 mins by speedboat from Ao chalong, I usually get seasick but was fine with this trip .Worth visiting🫶🏻🫶🏻

One of the best beaches i have been too. The vibe is just right, smal with a jungle behind making it feel privat. Alot of natural shadow and quiet. Little to no boats/jetski. Beautiful water and white fine sand. Its free but the parking costs, 50 bath for motorbikes and 100 bath for cars.

It's a beautiful beach. If you plan to visit, you should know beforehand how much parking costs, how much drinks cost, and how much beach chairs cost.

Tips for Visiting Beaches & Islands

Check Monsoon Seasons

The Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi) has rough seas from May to October. The Gulf coast (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan) is roughest from October to December. Plan your island-hopping around these windows.

Snorkel Gear Is Cheap to Buy

Rental gear is often scratched and ill-fitting. Buy a decent mask and snorkel at a Tesco Lotus or Big C for 300–500 THB — cheaper than two days of rentals and much more hygienic.

Book Ferries on 12Go.Asia

The 12Go platform lets you compare ferry operators, times, and prices between islands. Book a day or two ahead in high season. Avoid the cheapest operators if reviews mention safety concerns.
