Koh Hai
Koh Hai, also known as Koh Ngai, is a still-preserved gem of the Andaman Sea. This small island in the province of Trang, barely 4 kilometres long, charms with its simplicity and authenticity. Here, no roads and no cars: just the sound of the waves, the songs of tropical birds and untouched nature as far as the eye can see.
Lined by a long white sand beach and surrounded by a coral reef accessible from the shore, Koh Hai is the ideal retreat for travellers seeking peace and escape. It is also a perfect starting point to explore the wonders of the neighbouring islands, including the famous Emerald Cave on Koh Mook.
Koh Hai at a glance
Koh Hai is my favourite island for travellers who truly want to switch off! There isn’t even a road. The only sound in the morning is that of hornbills crossing the canopy. You put on a mask from the beach and within a few strokes you find yourself surrounded by clownfish.
What I love here is the possibility of combining the calm of the island with excursions that leave a lasting impression. The Emerald Cave on Koh Mook, just a few minutes away by boat, where you swim through a dark tunnel before emerging into a secret lagoon surrounded by cliffs.
For those who enjoy walking, the jungle trail to Paradise Beach offers a sunset you won’t see anywhere else on the island.
