Arriving at Ko Kho Khao tends to leave visitors feeling like they've stumbled onto a wonderful secret -- but with a cluster of resorts already operating on the island and plenty more in the making, it's a secret that won't last long.

There's no hotel or taxi touts waiting to greet you when you get off the boat, the roads are quiet and the locals very laid-back.

There's an excellent beach along the coast looking out to sea and there's a fine selection of lodgings.

Sounds good? It is.

Despite Ko Kho Khao having a very long history -- it was one of the first landing points for ancient settlers who later spread out across southern Thailand and Malaysia -- it has only very recently begun to develop as a tourist destination.

As a bit of trivia, the north of the island is characterised by flat grassy plains -- during World War Two the Japanese used the area as an air-strip from where to fly missions.

And while there are some ancient ruins and a couple of low-key waterfalls to visit (and some grassy plains), the real attraction here is the isolation -- and the beach.

 

Set to the south of the even larger (and more remote) Ko Phra Thong, Ko Kho Khao sits offshore from the transit hub of Takua Pa in Phang Nga province. The island is reached via a car ferry from the mainland to it's southern tip and al the resorts can easily be reached by road from there.
