Ko Ngai

Introducing Ko Ngai

To live out the Robinson Crusoe deserted-island fantasy, head to Ko Ngai (Ko Hai). It’s a fetching island with a dramatic interior and squeaky-clean sandy beach along its eastern coast. There is no indigenous population on the island, but there are a few spiffy resorts. A ring of bright coral, excellent for snorkelling, circles Ko Ngai and the visibility in the turquoise water is excellent. Mask and snorkel sets and fins can be rented from resorts for 50B each, or you can take half-day snorkelling tours to nearby islands (per person 650B). Trips to Ko Rok Nok, 29km southwest of Ko Ngai, cost 1200B by speedboat (plus the marine national park fee).

Even though it’s technically a part of Krabi Province, the island is most easily accessible from Pak Meng.
