Thailand’s Islands – Koh Kai

 

Kai Island is a spectacular small tropical island located about 20 minutes by speedboat off the east coast of Phuket.  Kai Island is divided into 2 islands, Kai Nai and Kai Nok.  Kai Nok is more popular and beautiful than Kai Nai.  You can get there only by speedboat or small boat, because Kai Island is a small island, a big boat can’t get close enough.  A white sandy beach covers half of the island, perfect for swimming.  The other half is fringed with rock in crystal clear water and snow white beach, also perfect for swimming.  There is also a restaurant but no accommodation (bungalow, guesthouse, hotel, etc.).  This is an excellent island, especially Kai Nok, for snorkeling, with many different corals and brightly coloured tropical fish.  The fish even come right into the shallow water if you feed them.  They are very friendly. 

Full- or half-day tours can be arranged from any tour operators in Phuket.
