Ko Nang Yuan - Tropical Island | Divers & Snorkelers Paradise PDF Print E-mail



Many of us perhaps can guess where is Ko Samui - the island in the Gulf of Thailand, that lies approximately 700 km south of Bangkok, Thailand. Better known as Samui, the tropical island invites thousands and possibly millions of visitors each year.

For anyone who is on vacation in Ko Samui, the name Ko Nang Yuan is commonly seen or promoted by local tour operator to day trippers. Located at northwest of Ko Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, Ko Nang Yuan can only be reached by boats. Opting for a speed boat from Ko Samui, the journey would take about two hours. Alternatively, one may board a long boat from Ko Tao which the trip is way cheaper and shorter.
Island retreat
Growing up on an island myself, I would say Ko Nang Yuan is unique and worth to see. One of its kind in term of landscape or scenery. Despite of being relatively small, Ko Nang Yuan is a popular venue among divers and snorkelers. Land size does not matter, what it offers best is the underwater paradise. Claimed as one of top island destinations in Thailand, Ko Nang Yuan consists of three small islands namely North Island, Middle Island and South Island. Interestingly, all these three isles are connected by a fork-shaped stretch of pristine beach. Bare-footing on the white sandy beach, take a stroll, be amazed to see and smell salt water on both ends (right & left or east & west). Awesome.
Fascinating surround
Your trip to Ko Nang Yuan would not be complete if you did not capture the picturesque Ko Nang Yuan from the peak of South Island. When we received the entrance ticket, the superb view of Ko Nang Yuan was printed on it.

Ready with your gears? Swimming, snorkeling or diving
"By hook or by crook, we are going to take the same shot" said my new friends from same boat. The advantage of mixing with the locals was we quickly found some clues to get to the trailhead. After a short exploration on South Island, we ascended some wooden planks beside the lodge. After about 15 minutes of hike, we finally reached the view point. It was merely a small area to stand. In fact, the boulder could accommodate only maximum 2 people at any one time. If you wish to take the vista or aerial view of the three isles, this is the spot to be. Get on the boulder but watch out for safety. At that moment right on the top of hill, I wished the clock could just stopped ticking. Indeed spectacular!
Never leave Ko Nang Yuan without seeing this impressive vista
