“Did you pack your snorkelling gear?” whispers a fellow traveller, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He’s looking across the turquoise water to a small island shaped like a horseshoe. That, my friends, is Ko Ngam. Ko Ngam is a tiny island just a stone’s throw from Koh Chang’s southern tip. This little gem earned the nickname “Koh Phi Phi of the Koh Chang Islands”. While smaller than its famous counterpart, it boasts the same captivating charm with a fraction of the crowds. Until recently, the only way to experience Ko Ngam was to stay at the now-closed Analay Resort. Today, the island is a well-protected haven overseen by a few dedicated park rangers. You’ll likely encounter them upon arrival, as they diligently collect the 200 baht national park fee. Don’t let their presence fool you – Ko Ngam remains blissfully peaceful. The island’s twin crescent bays are perfect for a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters. For the adventurous, the underwater world teeming with colourful marine life beckons. Imagine yourself floating above vibrant coral reefs, a kaleidoscope of fish darting beneath you. This is the magic that Ko Ngam whispers – a secret symphony of nature just waiting to be discovered.
