Koh Phrathong
The unseen Koh Phrathong is Thailand’s hidden paradise. It is located off the west coast of Thailand and the nearest town is Khuraburi. This tropical savannah is still quite remote and unspoilt. Here you can embrace the wealth of local cultural life and adventure across the island, enjoying the panoramic views from the local Tak Tak Cars.
This snorkeling day trip starts from Nam Keam, just north of Khao Lak. You will be collected from your Khao Lak resort and taken to the pier where tea, coffe and snacks will be waiting for you while you listen to a briefing of the day ahead. You will then join the speedboat that will take you across the small stretch of Andaman Sea and over to Koh Prathong. Make sure to enjoy the views as you cross the water – look at the beautiful mangrove forests as you make your way across.
