Kantang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

A sea trip to Phuket might be worth skipping Similan to check this place out

🎉Open only 150 days a year 🎉The last virgin snorkeling spot in the Andaman Sea 🎉Comparable to the Maldives but at less than a tenth of the price 🎉Jelly sea glass sea + flour-like sandy beaches 🎉Fewer people and more niche than Similan This is Thailand's Ko Rok Island! 🏖️ Ko Rok, also known as Na Ko Island, is said to be a travel destination from Phuket, but it's actually closer to Krabi's Ko Lanta. Therefore, it's more convenient to go to Ko Rok from Krabi and Ko Lanta, with only one trip from Phuket usually on Saturdays 🚤 From Phuket: 2.5 hours by boat 🚤 From Krabi: About 2 hours by boat 🚤 From Ko Lanta: About 45 minutes by boat 🤿 Snorkeling at Ko Rok is a must, even if you can't swim!!!! On a good weather day, there will be three snorkeling spots, each more beautiful than the last, with the third spot at Ha Island being the most beautiful! Beginners need not worry, as the boatmen will take you on a float board to see corals, sea turtles, clownfish 🏖️ Most visitors to Ko Rok are still Europeans, Americans, and Southeast Asians, with few Chinese knowing much about it. Most Chinese who go out to sea still head to crowded islands like PP Island and Similan. Ko Rok is still quite niche now 📝 Ko Rok Island Guide 1⃣️ Currently, there are basically no independent trips, only day trips by sea, which can be booked online. The boat company will arrange pick-up from your hotel 2⃣️ During the peak season, there will be Chinese-speaking guides, but during the off-season, it might be English and Thai 3⃣️ The boat ride is long, so if you get seasick, be sure to take seasickness medicine in advance (available for free at the pier) 4⃣️ Lunch is provided by the boat companies on the island, not delicious but filling 5⃣️ There are no shops or service facilities on the island, but there will be fruits, drinks, and snacks on the boat 6⃣️ There are small jellyfish in the sea this season that can sting, so it's a good idea to prepare some related medicine in advance. Being stung is very painful, and the boatmen have medicine to apply but it only provides relief 7⃣️ Be sure to pay attention to sun protection, any sunscreen not properly applied may result in sunburn 8⃣️ If you walk to the left along the beach on Ko Rok, there are fewer people and a few swings that are very picturesque for photos 9⃣️ Before disembarking, the boatmen will collect tips (not mandatory), but the service is indeed very good. It's a good idea to prepare some cash in advance 0⃣️ If you want to fly a drone, be sure to report in advance and obtain permission. Flying without permission not only results in a fine but may also lead to criminal prosecution 🏖️ Take advantage of Ko Rok before it becomes as overrun as Similan. During the open season of Ko Rok (from the end of October to May of the following year), this island is truly worth adding to your travel list!

Rok island I miss you. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

There are still less than a month, and in the second half of May, Locke Island will be closed. If you miss it, you will have to wait another half a year! Compared to the crowds of Similan, the pure sea of Rock Island and the unparalleled underwater world, it is a top snorkeling spot, and its flight time and price are one-tenth of that of Madai. Its not a dream! We reported to the delegation to participate in a day trip to Rock Island + Har Island. The first stop is Rock Island. You can choose to go to the island to rest or choose to go snorkeling. There is no accommodation and dining on the island of everything is natural and pollution-free. The quality of the sea is so high that it is a breathtaking blue ocean. After the meal, I ended the trip to Rock Island and rode on a speedboat to Harbin. Hashima snorkeling water visibility is good, sea stars, turtles, corals and other marine life can be seen clearly!

Emerald Cave

Emerald cave in Koh Mook Thailand is truly amazing, its a must. You can Kayak round from Garnet beach but make sure you ask for a torch as it's pitch black swimming through the cave to get to the beautiful lagoon.Its also part of every boat trip as its the main thing to do on this little remote Island. The guide will swim first with a torch and light the way for you, this is probably the safer option. #lagoon #thaiand #island #kayak

Snorkling time in Koh Mook

My last summer vacation I spent my time snorkling in a small group of people. Trip was at three islands including Emerald Cave! I travelled to Trang where the trip began. Just the whole day enjoying less tourist moment and see beautiful sea of Andaman !! no doubt why people would travel across the continent to Thailand! Amazing nature! #trang #snorkeling #seaview #seafoodfeast#summervacation#beachvacation

Sunrise and sunset on Koh Muk

Koh Muk is located in Trang province. Trang is one of a quiet place in the South of Thailand. Most of the tourists who love to get away from busy life should visit Koh Muk. You can take a local boat for only 50 baht or book a tourist boat for 150 baht. There're many hotels and restaurants during high season. Everyday in Koh Muk, people will go to Charlie's beach for watching sunset which is incredibly beautiful. #Kohmuk #thailand #sunset

Starfish & Sealife

koh Mooks Garden Beach Resort was just lovely. The Island itself is just so chilled and you feel part of a community, a sigh of relief after the madness in Koh Phi Phi. The staff here go above and beyond to make your stay the best it can be. There's a lovely pool that overlooks the sea and when the tide is out you can walk out to see small and large starfish, sea cucumbers, crabs, hermit crabs and an abundance of shelfish. We was lucky enough to see a Dugong, a rare sea cow only known to this part of Thailand. The restaurant was lovely too and very reasonably priced, they also had chill our areas with hammocks overlooking the ocean. #starfish #seacucumber #crab #hermitcrab #dugong #island

Khao Chom Prasat

Khao Chom Prasat in Trang, a hidden gem in the province of Trang, is nestled amidst lush green forests. The most popular activity among tourists at Khao Chom Prasat is rafting to the viewpoint of Khao Chom Prasat, where you can admire the beauty of the vast green canopy of the forest. It's a very beautiful viewpoint indeed. Although it is accessible all year round.
