While there are 6 islands in the close vicinity to choose from, we set a tour of 4 Islands for you.
Koh Mook, featuring Emerald Cave
The highlight of the area islands can be
found here on Pearl Island, Koh Mook. There are some nice swallow dive sites on
the island, but the main attractions in the Southern Region is undoubtly Emerald Cave,
known to the locals as "Tum Morakot"("Morakot" meaning Emerald). Declared one of
Thailand's Unseen Treasures by the Tourist Authority of Thailand last year, it is a
site not to be missed.
The Emerald Cave can be found on the northwest corner of Koh Mook. The best time to enter is
in the afternoon, when the sun's rays are able to angle its way deep into the cave.
The name comes from the emerald appearance given off when the sun strikes the clear
blue-green water. The water magically enlightens the entire cave.
After swimming about 80 meters into the cave, you will encounter a "hong", which is an
opening in the center of an island. There you can relax on powder white sand and
lagoon right in the middle of the island. This "hong" is lined by steep cliffs covered
with trees and vegatation, which leads up to the clear blue sky. This is truly paradise.
On the south side of the island, you will find a mermaid statue set on the edge of rocky shore
waving to boats that past by. While on the east side, you can drop in at the local fisherman's
village and observe the customs of the local islanders.
For your convenience, there is a resort with bungalows and huts location on the beach or
guesthouses available in the village.
Koh Kradan
Nicknamed "The Island of Love", Koh Kradan is considered
the most romantic spots of the Andaman due to its breath-taking picturesque scenes. Koh Kradan is known for its
fine powdery sand, clear blue water, and abundance of colorful tropical fish. A larger portion of Koh Kradan is
under the care of the Had Chao Mai National Park Ranger Unit 3, while the rest is private. Of the closer islands,
Koh Kradan is the best for swimming and relaxing on the beach.
Koh Ngai

the Krabi Province. Even though the is actually location within the borders of Trang Province, it is quicker to come
from the Krabi Province. There is a newly renovated resort located on the island.
Koh Chuek

colorful soft coral in the the region. At this site, schools of colorful tropical fish gather at multiple points
around the island's rocky edges. Koh Chuek is a pair of rock structures and does not have a beach. This causes
there to be a strong current, which brings the need for the Rope.
There is a guard residing on the island looking after the valuable bird's nests used as a dessert
ingredient. The harvest of the bird's nest is a government consession and a multi-million dollar industry.
Koh Mah

the currents in this area is rather strong.
