Coral Island
Nestled in the sparkling Andaman Sea, Koh Hae (or "Coral Island" in English) is a tropical paradise just a short boat ride from the bustling streets of Phuket. This tiny Thai island is renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. With an average temperature of 28°C year-round, Koh Hae offers the perfect escape from the city's heat and humidity.
Despite its small size, Koh Hae is a microcosm of Thailand's rich culture and warm hospitality. Visitors can immerse themselves in the laid-back island lifestyle, savoring fresh seafood dishes and sipping on coconuts while lounging on powdery white sands. Snorkeling and diving are major draws, with the island's shallow bays providing incredible opportunities to explore the colorful underwater world.
Koh Hae's true charm lies in its unspoiled natural beauty. The island's lush interior boasts hiking trails through dense jungle, while its beaches are fringed by swaying palm trees and vibrant coral gardens. Adventurous travelers can climb to the island's highest point for breathtaking panoramic views, or join a guided kayak tour through the mangrove forests. For a unique cultural experience, visitors can witness the ancient traditions of the island's Sea Gypsy village.
