Ko Nang Yuan

Ko Nang Yuan is a small island near Ko Tao, on the Central Gulf Coast of Southern Thailand.

An introduction to Ko Nang Yuan

Ko Nang Yuan is a small island very close to Ko Tao. It is famous for its diving spots and its great snorkelling beach. Many day trippers come from the islands of Ko Tao, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Samui, as well as from Surat Thani (province) | Surat Thani on the Thai mainland.

Get in

The only option is by boat. There are two types of boats available:

• Longtail boat taxi from Ko Tao. This is likely to set you back 100 Baht each way, though it may be feasible to get a return trip for 100 Baht total. Snorkelling day trips from Ko Tao start at 250 Baht, including round trip boat fare.
• Lomprayah catamaran which does twice daily trips from Chumphon to Ko Samui and Ko Samui to Chumphon.

It is also feasible to come here for a snorkelling day trip from Ko Samui for about 1,200 Baht, though this is of questionable value considering that while the trip may take the whole day you are likely to spend only an hour here. If you are really interested in visiting here, stay at least one night on Ko Tao.

Visitors to Ko Nang Yuan must pay a 150 Baht fee (waived if you overnight).

Plastic bottles and cans are banned from the island. Buy water and other drinks in glass bottles in Ko Tao to avoid paying inflated prices on Ko Nang Yuan.

Get around

The island is tiny. The only way to get around is by walking.

Muslim Friendly Hotels in Ko Nang Yuan

The only lodging on the island is the Nang Yuan Dive Resort . Rooms range from 1,200-14,000 depending on type and season.

The island is very beautiful and is well worth it if you really want to get away from it all. A few things to consider if you want to stay here:

• The cheaper rooms, especially in peak times, fill up well in advance. Book early if you really want to stay here.
• When considering the cost, factor in the mark-up for food (4x v. Ko Tao) and soft drinks (> 10x for equivalent volume water v. Ko Tao).
• Many rooms may require a significant hike up the mountain on narrow stairs.
• Rooms do not have telephones (i.e., you need to walk to reception if you have a problem). No room service.
• It is not feasible/feasible to travel to Ko Tao at night.
• All rooms have a TV, but only a couple of rooms actually allow viewing of any television channels. In the evening and the best you can do is take a DVD from reception (free).

Currents can be very strong.
