If you want to start off the journey with an exquisite view of the sea and a light swim, head down to cozy Pak Bia beach, and have an intimate session of peace and relaxation. Its crystal blue waters, accompanied by the whispering tones of the sea breeze, will easily calm your nerves and rejuvenate your body. For a more social activity, visit Jum or Phu islands and get a chance to reel in your catch of the day with your trusty fishing rod, or scale up its mountainous area with a bike. If you are looking for an island with a bit of flare, head towards the rooster-shaped limestone mountain, which is aptly named, Chicken island. However, if you are the type of traveler who is taking on a scientific or educational journey, visit Mu Koh Hong and marvel at the array of corals, fish, and plants that call this piece of land home.

The only way to get to these destinations is by taking a boat across from the province of Krabi. The best time to visit these islands is during the day, and be sure to avoid these places during the rainy season, because the waters are known to be rough during those months.
