Koh Nang Yuan - Paradise Island

Ko Nang Yuan is a small island very close to Ko Tao. It is famous for its diving spots and its great snorkeling beach (where fish can be fed by hand).

Many day trippers come from the islands of Ko Tao, Ko Pha Ngan and Ko Samui, as well as from Surat Thani on the Thai mainland.

There is only one restaurant which is part of the Nang Yuan resort. It has a selection of Thai and Western food. One of the best dishes on the menu is the BBQ fish.

Why don´t you make a Daytrip to Koh Tao Island?

The island is well known for Scuba Diving and snorkeling, and also offers some hiking. The most popular place for tourists is Sairee on the West coast, which has a white sandy beach of  interrupted only by a few huge boulders and a scattering of medium budget resorts and restaurants.

Chalok Baan Khao, to the south of the island is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative for those wishing to escape the crowds. A multitude of beautiful granite boulders, which nestle both in the forests and on the beaches of Ko Tao, attract a growing number of climbers who visit each year to enjoy the adventurous aspect of their sport.

Ko Tao is less developed than Koh Samui  and Koh Phangan but has become increasingly popular especially with the mid-20's backpacker crowd in search of relatively inexpensive scuba diving certification.

Kho Tao is the ideal island for diving and snorkeling it is one of the most beautiful Island here around Koh Samui. You can rent snorkeling and diving equipment every where. 

Samui Mostwanted recommendation!
