Koh Tarutao

Koh Tarutao, a remote island, located in the Southwestern region of Thailand, is entirely untouched and spared from mass visitors. This is one of the rare places in Thailand that is yet not fully discovered or explored by many tourists. Interiors of Koh Tarutao have steep trails and rough roads where bikers and hikers might have a very good time. Hiking, kayaking and mountain biking are some popular activities here. Near Koh Tarutao are Ko Adang and Ko Rawi ideal places for snorkelling and diving. Once a concentration camp for more than 3000 Thai criminals and political prisoners, Koh Tarutao Island is the largest island belonging to the “Tarutao National Marine Park”. During the Second World War II, food and medical supplies from the mainland were depleted, and many prisoners died from malaria. Both prisoners and guards who survived became pirates in the nearby Strait of Malacca. In 1951, British troops suppressed the survivors to prevent the rise of more prisoners. The movie Survivor: Thailand was filmed on this island in 2002.Mangrove forests and limestone cliffs surround Koh Tarutao Island while the whole island is white turquoise blue, making the landscape very picturesque. The gorgeous site is home to more than 100 species of tropical birds and animals. A few rivers run through the island, and there is a massive waterfall in the middle of the jungle. For a rejuvenating and lovely stay amidst peace and serenity, you must head to Koh Tarutao this holiday season. Read More

With shallow and calm waters, Laem Ka beach is regarded as one of the safest beaches of Phuket and is the only east-facing beach in the south of Phuket. Surrounded by a coconut plantation, this beach gives stunning views of nearby Koh Bon, Koh Lone, Coral Island and other surrounding islands. Relatively hard to spot, this beach's pristine and untouched setting makes it the perfect destination for a retrospective getaway. The beach is 150-metre in length, has a rocky area at the south end and dilapidated building at the north end. After mid-day, the shadows of the surrounding trees make it an ideal picnic spot. One can spot a handful of people during the high season; it looks deserted during the low season. Read More
