Ko Ngai
Encircled by coral and clear waters, densely forested Ko Ngai (Ko Hai) is both the most family-friendly of the Trang Islands and prime honeymoon territory. The long blonde wind-swept beach on the eastern coast spills into turquoise water with a sandy bottom (perfect for children) that ends at a reef drop-off with good snorkelling. It’s a stunning place and with no indigenous population on the island, the entire main beach is set up for your amusement.
Although technically part of Krabi Province, Ko Ngai's mainland link is with Pak Meng, 16km northeast.
