Adang Island: A Quiet Paradise

If you're looking for a serene haven without party noise, beach bars, or crowded people, but with the sound of waves crashing ashore, the breeze rustling through pine leaves, and crystal-clear waters where you can see fish swimming beneath the surface, Adang Island in Tarutao National Park is the answer you've been searching for. This large island is located not far from Koh Lipe, but the atmosphere is worlds apart. Adang Island has no luxury resorts, no roads, no cars—just untouched nature in its purest form. Highlights not to miss: Chado Cliff: A viewpoint worth the climb The small trail leading up to Chado Cliff is a test for nature lovers. The reward for your effort is a breathtaking high-angle view of Koh Lipe, the multi-shaded sea, and an endless horizon. Laem Son Beach: A rare tranquility A stretch of clean white sand welcomes visitors with the shade of swaying pine trees and turquoise waters that look like they belong in a painting. An underwater world still intact Right off the beach, you can put on a snorkel and dive into a vibrant coral world, colorful fish, and an undisturbed marine environment. Majestic land-based nature From lush rainforests and towering mountains to diverse wildlife, including tiny hermit crabs and hornbills flying by in the morning—life here moves to the rhythm of nature, not the clock. Where to stay? No luxury hotels, no beachfront resorts—just national park accommodations and seaside camping grounds. Here, the sound of waves replaces air conditioning, stars replace neon lights, and peace replaces chaos. Getting there: Take a boat from Pak Bara Pier in Satun Province to Koh Lipe, then transfer to a long-tail boat to Adang Island. The journey is short, but the experience will last a lifetime. Highly recommended!
