Ao Suan Yai

Arguably the prettiest bay on the island, there are two islands offshore, Ko Phi to the west and Ko Kham to the north, the later of which has one bungalow operation. This area is great for sunsets.

Ao Kao

Easily the longest beach on the island and also the dirtiest. Although the section immediately in front of each resort is cleaned, the remainder is often strewn with plastic bottles and other refuse.
