“This island holds a secret,” the boat captain chuckled, steering us closer to Ko Nakha Noi. “They say these waters produce some of the most exquisite treasures in the world.” Ko Nakha Noi, a name that translates to “Small Nail Island,” might seem unassuming at first. But don’t let the name fool you. This island, nestled just a few kilometers off the coast of Phuket, is home to a hidden gem: the Naga Pearl Farm. Unlike many others, this South Sea pearl farm welcomes visitors all year round, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of pearl cultivation. Here, amidst the tranquil waters, skilled artisans cultivate the rare and highly sought-after South Sea pearls. You’ll witness firsthand the delicate process, from nurturing the oysters to the moment those luminous orbs are brought to the surface. And of course, no trip to Ko Nakha Noi would be complete without visiting the souvenir shops. They offer the chance to take home a piece of this island’s shimmering legacy: a beautiful, sustainably farmed pearl from the Naga Pearl Farm.
