Is Ko Sirey an island or not? You might ask yourself this question as we approach. While it boasts beautiful coastlines and a sense of seclusion, Ko Sirey is technically connected to Phuket by a causeway. This unique feature makes it feel like a separate world. You can find it right across from Phuket Town, over the Khlong Tha Chin, a shallow mangrove swamp. Ko Sirey is also home to Wat Ko Si-Re. This temple, perched atop a hill, houses a magnificent reclining Buddha. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the island and the sea. Another interesting fact about Ko Sirey is the presence of Phuket’s largest sea gypsy community. Located at Laem Tuk-Kae, this community offers a glimpse into a traditional way of life. The muddy seabed around this part of the island makes swimming impossible. However, the opportunity to interact with the Chao Le people and purchase their handicrafts makes it a worthwhile experience. As we leave Ko Sirey behind, take a moment to appreciate the island’s tranquil atmosphere and unique character. It’s a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of Phuket and experience a different pace of life, a true hidden gem of the Andaman Sea.
