Koh Ngam is an enchanting island with a very narrow sand dune that forms a gorgeous contour holding the northeast and southwest section of the island together. The almost kidney-shaped island would look like 2 separate islands from afar. Besides holding the island in one piece, the sand dune creates 2 crescent-shaped lagoons which are only 50 metres apart. For the more adventurous, a rope-guided hike up the rocks to a 100 meter-high hill on the southwest side of the island is both challenging and rewarding.

Ko Chang Noi

Ko Chang Noi and Laem Chang Noi lie to the north of Ko Chang.The sea between Ko Chang Noi and Laem Chang Noi is abundant with corals.
