Little Island Koh Ngam
Ever seen one of those stunningly small tropical islands in a travel brochure? That might just be Koh Ngam! This little island is a narrow strip of white sand with palm trees, flanked by lush green hills on both sides. It has a sort of H shape, so you can swim in the unreal blue sea from either side of the beach. Aside from a few rangers, the island is uninhabited. It’s like stepping back into paradise!
