Attractions and Surrounding Islands

• Koh Kradat

This island is situated to the northeast away from Koh Mak. In the past, the area had an abundance of Kradat trees (paper trees); hence, the name of the island. This island is notable for the fact that it is the only island in Thailand to be issued a land title deed during the period of King Rama V as a measure to protect the island from French colonization. Koh Kradat is famous for its white long sandy beach and wonderful coral reefs.
