A tiny island tucked away in Phang Nga Bay, Koh Khai is a true gem Located just thirty minutes off of the east coast of Phuket.
Koh Khai is a little slice of paradise for those looking to spend a day filled with sun and fun.
Due to its distinctive shape, Koh Khai is often referred to as Egg Island. The island itself is actually small and triangular, with a rocky headland and powder white sandy beach. Koh Khai is surrounded by turquoise water that seems to stretch on for miles. The scenery is extremely picturesque and makes a great backdrop for those holiday selfies and photographs.
Koh Khai is blessed with abundant marine life, and there are at least twelve types of exotic fish species swimming around in the water here. The fish are a popular attraction, and you’re sure to see many people frolicking amongst the fish and taking pictures. A few bohemian chic structures have been built on Koh Khai which function as restaurants and reggae bars.
The coral reefs around Koh Khai are quite healthy and colourful. When paired with the variety of tropical fish, it really is a wonderful spot for snorkelling especially when the sea is calm.
Getting to Koh Khai is fairly easy as it’s nestled into Phang Nga Bay and a close distance to Phuket. If you are looking for a more relaxed, go at a leisurely pace kind of experience, a private yacht charter is a great alternative. A private yacht charter allows you to enjoy the beauty of the islands at various times throughout the day, perhaps stopping off just outside of the island to snorkel or swim.
Perhaps pair a private yacht charter to Koh Khai with a stay at Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa? A luxurious eco-resort, Santhiya is comprised of 109 deluxe rooms and 39 teakwood pool villas on the quiet, undeveloped island of Koh Yao Yai. It’s an indulgent resort with all of the amenities which makes a great overnight stay for those chartering a private yacht trip in or around the bay.
