Beaches, beaches, beaches!
This island is blessed with some beaches, each with its distinct personality. The most crowded one, Chaweng, is perfect for those looking to catch a beach party! Whereas, Silver Beach is ideal for an early morning stroll. The Maenam beach has a lovely old town ambience and is a lovely choice as well.
Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai)
Head towards the North East of the island to witness the grandeur of this 12-meter statue. The temple itself is on a little island that is connected to the main island by a short causeway. It’s best to get there early morning to avoid both the crowds and the mid-day heat!
Ang Thong Marine National Park
Set sail to the pristine and untouched Ang Thong Marine National Park for a fantastic day trip. It’s 40 kilometres from the main island and consists of a collection of 42 smaller islands. Prepare to be awestruck by the beauty of the islands, the wildlife and the azure blue waters, which are perfect for a session of snorkelling!
