[2025 Phuket Attraction] Travel Guide for Ko Lon (Updated Jun)

#Natural attractions In this chaotic world, it's hard to believe that there is still a place for us to relax and enjoy life, surrounded by nature and the lovely way of life of the people, on an island that Ploy thinks that there are still many people who don't know about. 🌴 Last month, Ploy had the opportunity to visit "Koh Lon". It is an island located not far from Ao Chalong Pier. ⛵️ It takes only 30 minutes to travel there. The information on the island that Ploy knows is that the population on this island is not very large, about 20 households, which makes the island quiet, peaceful, and there is a simple way of life for us to experience. 🎈 ✨𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽 Do activities/eat seafood Like Ploy went #not staying overnight On this trip, Ploy visited a house that gave a vintage feel that won the heart. Making coconut cakes, tie-dyeing shirts, eating seafood (very fresh) Sitting and talking with Bang and Ma, I realized that "In reality, our life doesn't need anything more than simplicity and delicious food. "Sustainable health" and getting yourself out into nature like this is a great story of this diary. 🙂

#cityplaybook Nestled off the coast of Phuket in Thailand, Koh Lon Island remains one of the lesser-known gems of the Andaman Sea. While it may not boast the fame of its neighboring islands, Koh Lon holds a treasure trove of secrets waiting to be uncovered by intrepid travelers. 1. The Hidden Fishing Village Beyond the tourist trails lies a traditional fishing village where time seems to stand still. The villagers practice age-old techniques, using hand-woven nets and wooden boats passed down through generations. Few outsiders know of their sacred "Song of the Sea" ritual, performed before each fishing expedition to honor the ocean spirits. 2. The Cave of Whispers Deep within the island's limestone cliffs exists a cavern with remarkable acoustics. Local legend says whispers uttered here carry messages to departed ancestors. Archaeologists have found mysterious carvings suggesting the cave was used for spiritual ceremonies over 1,000 years ago. 3. The Bioluminescent Cove On moonless nights, a secluded bay on Koh Lon's eastern shore transforms into a glowing spectacle. Microscopic plankton create electric blue waves that light up when disturbed. The phenomenon only occurs 25-30 nights per year, and local elders believe it signals the opening of "the veil between worlds." 4. The Forbidden Orchid Botanists have identified a rare orchid species (Vanda kohlonensis) found nowhere else on Earth. Growing only on north-facing cliffs, its midnight-blue blooms are said to contain medicinal properties. Traditional healers use it in sacred remedies, but harvesting is strictly controlled by island elders. 5. The Abandoned Tin Mine Tunnels Beneath the island's lush surface lies a network of early 20th-century tin mining tunnels. Some chambers contain mysterious geometric etchings unrelated to mining operations. Workers reported hearing ghostly chants in the deepest shafts, leading to their eventual abandonment. 6. The Coral Libraries Marine biologists discovered that certain coral formations near Koh Lon grow in fractal patterns matching ancient Asian mathematical sequences. The corals seem to "record" ocean conditions in their growth rings with unprecedented accuracy - a living climate archive spanning centuries. 7. The Fishermen's Star Charts The island's navigators use a unique celestial mapping system carved into driftwood. These charts incorporate astronomical knowledge predating modern navigation tools. Some symbols remain undeciphered, possibly representing lost constellations or maritime routes. 8. The Pearl of Tears Local fishers whisper about a legendary pearl that surfaces during the seventh lunar month. Said to be formed from a mermaid's tears, its appearance foretells either great fortune or calamity. Numerous attempts to recover it have ended in mysterious accidents. 9. The Time Warp Beach At low tide on certain days, an otherwise ordinary beach reveals strange tidal patterns. Visitors report experiencing time dilation effects - watches stopping, phones malfunctioning, and the unsettling sense of being "out of sync" with the mainland. 10. The Guardian Trees Ancient banyan trees near the island's center form a perfect circle. Villagers believe they protect Koh Lon from natural disasters. During the 2004 tsunami, the island suffered minimal damage while surrounding areas were devastated - a phenomenon still unexplained by scientists. These secrets make Koh Lon more than just another tropical island. This is a living museum of maritime mysticism, ecological wonders, and cultural enigmas waiting to reveal themselves to respectful explorers.
