Ko Phrathong

Phang Nga, Thailand

A wild barrier island where golden beaches stretch for miles, leatherback turtles nest, and mangrove forests hide ancient archaeological sites.

About this place

The island is only accessible by longtail boat and has just a few eco-resorts committed to conservation. Book turtle watching tours during nesting season (November-February) through your accommodation only, as independent access to nesting beaches is restricted. The island's western beach is 15km of unbroken sand - perfect for long morning walks before the heat sets in.
