A small island with a distinctly pastoral atmosphere, Ko Sukorn (also known as Ko Muu) is the kind of place that's increasingly hard to find in Thailand these days.

Ko Sukorn is the type of place where travellers are outnumbered by locals, and the locals are far outnumbered by water buffalo.

The two strongest branches of the economy on Ko Sukorn are rubber tapping and fishing -- and with only a handful of resorts, tourism remains a distant third.

While this means that the island has little tourist infrastructure, it also means that it's a great place for anyone looking to get away from the crowds and unwind.

Part of the reason Ko Sukorn doesn't draw the crowds is because its beaches lack the sparkle of Ko Ngai or Ko Muk -- the sand here is dark, and doesn't quite squeak.

Additionally, the water here is very shallow, and not great for swimming. None of this should deter you, however. It's a great place to unwind, with just the sound of the lapping waters to keep you company.


 
















If you're feeling more active, you can explore the shoreline in a kayak, or set out among the island's rice paddies and rubber plantations on a bicycle.

As an added bonus, prices for food and accommodation are generally lower here than on the other islands.
