Thailand's islands, a guide to the lesser-known island of Koh Nok in Krabi for sea outings

The island of Koh Nok in Krabi, Thailand, is increasingly coming into the view of ordinary tourists. This niche island, which is only open for 150 days a year, is becoming more and more attractive with its jelly sea, flour-like beaches, and quiet atmosphere, drawing people who prefer not to be in crowded places.

⛵️How to get to Koh Nok
Since there are no permanent residents on the island and it is closed for most of the year, there are no regular ferries. There are only boats available during the open period, coming from Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Lanta.

🤿How to play on Koh Nok
A day trip to Koh Nok usually includes 2-3 snorkeling sessions. Lunch is served on the island and there is free time for activities, with the meals generally arranged by the tour boat companies. The most beautiful snorkeling spots are when leaving Koh Nok, where the water is clearer, like a glass sea. The visibility is extremely high, and the underwater corals and tropical fish are clearly visible.

⚠️Precautions for Koh Nok
The sea travel time is quite long, so those who get seasick should prepare in advance. The tour boat companies' piers usually provide seasickness medicine for free.
The island is very sunny, so it is essential to be well-protected against the sun, with sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen being indispensable! It's best to bring a bottle of sunscreen for reapplication.
There are many small jellyfish in the snorkeling areas, and getting stung by a jellyfish can be very painful. The crew on the boat usually have ointment available, which can help alleviate the pain.
The day trip tours to Koh Nok are not available every day, so it's important to plan your time accordingly.
