Don't Miss

Return to main article

Save time for a daylong side trip; snorkeling excursions to Ko Rok (an hour away by speedboat) can be arranged at any of the resorts. There, crystal-clear waters contain pink, blue, and green coral gardens teeming with wildlife: longfin bannerfish, black and white clown fish (just like Nemo) with neon-yellow stripes, parrot fish clothed in a spectrum of garish electric colors, and emperor angelfish with painted lips. Picnic on beaches with sand as white and powdery as sugar, while five-foot-long monitor lizards with sharp-ridged tails lumber about, hoping for a handout.
