Ko Ngai — Local services in Krabi Province

Ko Ngai (Hai) is a tiny island measuring 4 kilometres long and 2 kilometres wide. Mountainous and covered by tropical forest, much of the coastline is indented with rocky headlands, while the eastern part has some beautiful sand beaches, and in the south coconut plantations and more beautiful smaller beaches. The island has a white beach and clear water and is surrounded by magnificent corals.

Don't be surprised to see crab-eating monkeys and monitor lizards coming down from the mountains. In the uninhabited western and northern parts of the island, bird watchers should have a field day looking out for migrating birds. Snorkelling is easy along the western and southern coasts, where some reefs can be accessed directly from the beach.There are no roads on the island, so getting around from one beach to another is done on foot, or longtail boats that can be hired at the resorts.

There is a foot path (jungle trek) from the main beach on the east to two beaches on the south, the westernmost of which has Ko Ngai Paradise Resort. From there, you can follow a path that goes to national park headquarters area and then to a hill with a...

A fantastically beautiful, quiet little island. No roads, no cars, no mopeds. A beautiful main beach with about 10 bungalows Hotels and a tent camp. Each complex has a restaurant and a small bar, which can also be visited by guests who are not staying in the complex. There are also perhaps 5 bar-restaurants without a hotel, at least that was my impression. The rainforest begins behind the beach and the bungalow complexes. The sounds of the sea on the beach alternate with the sounds of birds, monkeys etc. as you walk towards the rainforest. Please note: There is no Seven Eleven but only small hotel stores. There is also no ATM. You can pay by card in your own hotel, but if you like variety, you should bring cash for other restaurants and bars. Swimming shoes are very useful, the beach is partly stony. Access is by boat, depending on the tide you have to walk through the water to the hotel, so beach shoes are also an advantage and it helps to carry...
