Koh Ngai<\/a> is definitely one of the best places for first-timers to visit in Thailand. It is in the Krabi province of Southern Thailand but is often visited along with the Trang Islands of Koh Mook and Koh Kradan. <\/p>\nThe views from this tiny island are incredible with stunning limestone islets rising out of the perfectly calm blue sea \u2013 it\u2019s exactly the sort of island paradise you imagine when you first think of heading to Thailand.<\/p>\n
This island has no local population, so you will need to visit some other places as well to get your culture fix. <\/p>\n
\u2013 How to Get to Koh Ngai<\/h4>\n
It is easy to get to by ferry or speedboat from most places on the west coast and it is a perfect stop off if you are island hopping.<\/p>\n
\u2013 How to Get Around Koh Ngai<\/h4>\n
Koh Ngai is s super tiny island of only approximately 5 square kilometers so getting around by foot is probably all you need if you do venture away from the beach.<\/p>\n
\u2013 What to do in Koh Ngai<\/h4>\n
It is likely that you will be happy spending your time relaxing on the white sands of the main beach, soaking up the views, and taking a dip in the warm, shallow sea.<\/p>\n
But, if you fancy a bit more of an adventure then it is a great place to go kayaking. You can work your way around the island to see interesting rock formations, tiny coves, and the aptly named \u2018Paradise Beach\u2019. Take your time, jump off with a snorkel and see how many colorful fish you can spot.<\/p>\n
On the island, you are bound to spot hornbills and monitor lizards who live on the jungle fringes all over the island. There are also millions of tiny hermit crabs that constantly scramble along the beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All in all, it is the perfect island to visit on your first trip to Thailand.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Where to Stay in Koh Ngai<\/h4>\n
There are just a few hotels that are strung out along the beach and all development is low-key as the island remains a quiet and unspoiled paradise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
