Located just east of Phuket, the Koh Khai Islands are a stunning tropical getaway, known for their lush greenery and pristine white sandy beaches. One half of the island is covered in vibrant tropical forest, while the other offers a beautiful stretch of soft sand perfect for relaxation.
The crystal-clear shallow waters surrounding the islands are teeming with tropical fish, which are so friendly you can often feed them by hand with bread. Snorkeling and swimming are highly recommended, offering a chance to witness the vibrant marine life and colorful corals just beneath the surface.
Your journey begins with a short 15-minute speedboat ride from Phuket, bringing you swiftly to the islands’ shores. Once there, enjoy snorkeling, relaxing under the sun, or swimming in the calm, child-friendly shallows.
While sightings are not guaranteed, dolphins have occasionally been spotted around the islands during the months of November to January, adding a magical touch to this already memorable trip.
Before returning to Phuket, you’ll have plenty of free time to lounge on the beach, explore the scenic surroundings, or take another refreshing dip in the sea.
